The Rural Voice, 1996-06, Page 5Cover
The debate continues within the pork industry on
segregated early weaning or three -site production.
Discussion centres not so much on the benefits in
terms of faster growth and better fed efficiency, as
on whether the
gains are worth
the added
expense and
whether farmers
are selling out
their future to
integrators by
taking part in
three -site
arrangements.
Bob Reid found
plenty of debate
on the issue.

They aren't even available in Ontario yet, and won't be for
perhaps two years, but Roundup Ready® soybeans are
already causing debate among Ontario cash croppers. There
are savings to be made in being able to use Roundup right on
the beans for better weed control but what about things like
creating resistance to the herbicide or the added paperwork
that will be involved in licencing and weed spray contracts?
