HOW GOOD IS YOUR HAY?
You can't tell just by looking!
Hay can vary from 6% to 25% protein (on a dry
matter basis). Calcium on hay can range from
0.40% to 1.7%. Other nutrients can also show
wide variation.
An accurate chemical analysis of your hay and
other feed products will give you the answer.
For more information, call or write and inquire about
our feed and forage testing services.

PORK CONGRESS
WARMS UP FOR '89
The Ontario Pork Congress promo-
tion committee chaired by swinc spe-
cialist Richard Smelski is in full swing
for the 1989 exhibition in Stratford this
June. Organizers are stressing the slo-
gan "Showcase of Pork Excellence,"
and steps have been taken to expand the
competition featuring pork products.
Innovations chairman Frank Kains
plans to have as many innovation award
winners' projects on display at the Pork
Congress as possible, and with higher
cash awards.
For the first time, a herdsperson
award will be introduced at the Con-
gress, adds Cathy Aker of the producer
awards committee. The criteria for the
award is still being finalized.
Highlighting the theme "Pork Man-
agement — Key to the 90s" will be Dr.
Peter English of the University of Aber-
deen, Dr. Bernard Laarveld of the Uni-
versity of Saskatchewan, and Helmut
Loewen of the pork board. Producer
profiles will include Karen Richardson,
a herdsperson with Pure Line Swine,
Richard and Jeanine Ross of Fergus, and
Clare Schlegel of Stratford.0
CFW ELECTS SEVEN
DIRECTORS FOR 1989
The Concerned Farm Women have
elected seven directors for 1989: Val-
erie Wasserfall, Gertie Blake, Jennifer
Pruder, Ellie Ockenden, Kathleen Mof-
fat, Joy Ward, and Gisele Ireland.
At their meeting last month, the
group also heard a report by Lena
Weber, chosen to represent the Con-
cerned Farm Women on a two-week
Nicaraguan Tour sponsored by Oxfam.
Weber, a nurse at the Chesley Hospi-
tal, farms at Sconeview Farms. She has
spent considerable time in Nigeria and
has hosted students from Uruguay.
She reported that a farm women's
organization has existed in Nicaragua
since 1979 and that the tour will be a
learning and listening experience.
Nicaraguan women, she added, do
the major part of the nation's farming,
sometimes holding a firearm, while
their men protect the villages.OGI
