Offering advice
In most of our daily and weekly new-
spapers and most definitely in all of our
farm papers, there has been Tots of advice
for farmers regarding planting for 1993.
Battle lines have been drawn
between short -season, one -pass tillage
versus no -till, and the value of legume
underseeding.
With all of this advice, however, one
major question has not been addressed.
Where is the farmer supposed to get the
money for the crop inputs for 1993?
Many of our families lost money on
last year's crops. Livestock did not do
well over the winter due to poor feed
quality. Fall tillage wasn't finished
while waiting to settle insurance claims
and some crops are still standing.
Spouses' off -farm jobs are barely
making ends meet.
With the season fast approaching
many farm families would welcome
advice on "planning for spring planting
with no money".
Every day we help farm families
survive the rural crisis. Give us a call
(collect) 519-392-6090.

Funding research
I just finished reading Keith
Roulston's column on designer eggs
(April issue). His comments on the cost
of food are appropriate. Another, of
course, is breakfast cereal at up to 27
cents per ounce. That makes an egg
worth 54 cents each.
For interest's sake, designer eggs are
the result of research done by Dr. John
Simm at the University of Alberta and
are a justified attempt to offset cholester-
ol concerns. Again, for interest's sake
— a good marketing board funds
research — the Ontario Egg Marketing
Board funded a proportion of the
research done by Dr. Simm, hoping to
improve egg marketing.0
