OUTSTANDING
PRODUCERS FOR
HURON COUNTY
Ron and Sharon Douglas of R. R. 1,
Clifford were chosen Huron County's
outstanding pork producers at the On-
tario Pork Congress.
Farmers are judged on production
efficiency, breeding, feeding programs,
successful management, community
involvement, and pork promotion.
The Douglas family runs a 20 -sow
purebred Yorkshire farrow to finish
operation, selling boars and gilts. Their
herd is completely closed and has excel-
lent health status. New bloodlines are
brought in through AI and Caesarian
section. The cropping program is a
mixed grain and hay rotation. All corn
is purchased.
Ron is chairman of the Belmore
arena board, an executive member of the
Huron County Pork Producers' Asso-
ciation, a provincial director on the
Ontario Pork Producers Marketing
Board, and first vice-president of the
Howick Agricultural Society. Sharon is
the first vice-president of the ladies'
division of the agricultural society.
They also belong to Ontario Swine
Breeders, Quality Swine, and the AI
Association.°
ON-FARM FORAGE
TESTS AVAILABLE
On-farm forage testing, sponsored
this year by a Ministry of Agriculture
and Food Summer Experience '87 Pro-
gram, will be available until August 28.
A summer student makes appoint-
ments to take samples of hay, haylage,
and grain and forwards the sample to
Agri -Food Laboratories in Guelph.
Farmers are asked to take handfuls of
haylage from various loads to get a ran-
dom sample, and to freeze the sample
until the forage tester arrives.
Farmers enrolled in the Red Meat
Program or the Pork Industry Improve-
ment Program should have their feed
vouchers handy.
Assistance required with ration
formulation will be available from local
agricultural offices.°
