EDITION crop, committee members began trial planting a few years ago to find a variety that would be maturing around mid-September. They finally decided on two varieties that are commonly used in Manitoba, both in the 2500 -heat -range. "We were lucky that soybeans are in season in September but the corn was pretty hard," admits Mr. Wilton. "We might have to rush the corn a bit." Along with soybean and corn harvesting, hay fields will be cut, raked, baled, bagged and foraged throughout the week, depending on weather. (Saturday has been set aside as the rain date.) Then the harvested fields will be used to demonstrate tillage and no till practices. The inclusion of no till is geared toward an overall conservation theme of Machines in Motion. "Everyone today is interested in conservation and what our show is trying to do is to show the benefits and disadvant- ages of different types of tillage." In fact, Machines in Motion has a whole set of demonstrations under the heading "Environmental Showcase". As chairman of the show, Biermans of R.R. 2, Dobbinton is probably the only member who wants there to be rain during the event. But he doesn't only want rain, he wants to control where it falls and how much. Fortunately, he isn't counting on nature to meet his extreme demands - he's borrowing a "rain machine" from Agriculture Canada to demonstrate the effects of rainfall on land management. "We'll be using a Rain Simulator, a machine that creates an artificial environment for rainfall, on three land situations - bare ground, conservation tillage and grassed sod " explained the farmer who is intensely concerned about soil management. The land types will each be given an equal dose of "rain" and the run-off from each land type will be collected in trays so observers can check the water quality for soil erosion. "Obviously the grassed sod is going to run clear while the bare land will have significantly dirtier water but a lot of farmers don't realize how much soil does erode until they see it," he says. "We want to show farmers that we, who work the land, need to move more towards conservation tillage." The Environmental Showcase will
