desire to responsibly manage envi-

the Ministry of the Environment?
From pesticide, fertilizer and
gasoline storage and handling to the
disposal of wastes and control of
noise and odour, farmers should
prepare a written plan identifying and
providing for the management of

environmental risk. It is only through
the development and implementation

IThe Powerful Way to
Protect Your Fences!
• Low Cost
• Longer Life
• Easy Installation
With a Gallagher Offset fence
system you can easily and economically reinforce your existing fences and
effectively double their life. The spring steel offset lasts longer than fibreglass
and won't injure valuable animals. It keeps the hot wire a full 12" away from
your old fence - far enough to stop arcing with high power energizers. By
clipping onto the offset wire, it's simple and quick to power portable fences
wherever you need them, without the battery hassle. Look for Gallagher
offsets at your farm store or co-op.
