You don't have• to have grown up on a : farm to. understand the logical flow from one era to another to be provided by the Machines In Motion committee. As visitors enterthe area immediately east of Tented City, they'll be greeted by site specific. farming displays. a Student Centre and bleachers with full view of the "Latest and Greatest Parade Square,',`., The Huron C9unty Soil and Crop Improvement Association will display site specific farm technology and map the typography and -soil nutrients of soybean fields at • the rear of the Machines In Motion area. The soybeans • will be harvdlsted prior to the IPM so that yield maps can also be done.

The Ontario nvironmental Farm Plan will also have a display in this section. The Student Centre will feature the winners of a county -wide Back to the Future Competition.

There is also an open essay class for students and adults. Lobb said the competition is open to every school in the county. The Latest and Greatest Parade Square is one feature that will go on rain or shine, said Lobb. The bleachers will be located under a roof so the parade will run starting at 11 a.m. daily whatever the weather. Each hour features something different, said Lobb. Spray technology, manure management and farmmachineryfrom every. era. "If there -arc weather problems, we'll still have a show," he said. Visitors may learn about the farm machinery from 1919, 1959. 1999 -by walking through. three "machine sheds" (fenced paddocks) that house the typical equipment needed to run a farm from each era. "People can see how the farm operated, machine cost and expected productivity will be displayed for most units. Commodity prices have risen a little," said Lobb, adding machinery productivity and costs have increased considerably. The Machines In Motion committee knows one has to see it to believe it so they're planning a series of active field demonstrations from planting to harvesting. On the soybean field harvested before the IPM, the committee will show tillage and planting. Combines will spend several afternoons harvesting another soybean field and a corn field and the process starts again with planting. Hay will also be harvested in the methods used today and in 1959.
