Crop ppoducti,on in Ontario is dlependent
on pest -100e, in fact, each year pesticides
are. used .in more: and more ways nn Qntario
crop production, • This 'dependency , on
pesticides, as well as possible consequences
of misapplication, raises a lot of public con-
cern.
Many environmental groups are concern-
ed that we in agriculture are not using
pesticides safely. Their concern is that
farmer misuse will lead to residue in the
food chain.
Coupled with this is the farmers' concern
that the presticides they use must control
the intended pests without damaging the
crops.
These two concerns are the reason why
there is a two-day pesticide course for retail
dealers who sell pesticides to farmers.
Custom spray operators are also encourag-
ed to take this course.
This course is destined as ari intensive
workshop where the dealer will be put
through dozens of situations that arise each
year. These situations are in the form of
commonly -asked questions and common in
errors in misapplication of pesticides. Ques-
-tions include, -'When do you -use thele*rate
of a certain pesticide versus the high rate
when there is a range in recommendation?"
Another series of questions _deals with how
the weather 'interacts with pestieide ap-
plication (e.g. - How many hours must a cer-
tain herbicide be applied before a rain? How
does cold weather affect weed control of
another pesticide?) We will also be covering
many of the commonly -used tank mixes.
Theihrustb.ehind these courses is to keep
the people selling and custom . applying
pesticides up-to-date with the newest
registrations and recommendations of the
pesticides that farmers use. "
If you are a -farmer, ,glease encourage
your pesticide dealer or custom operator to
attend one of these meetings. In fact, I sug-
gest this year when you go to buy your
pesticides', ask for the person who took the
Dealer Pesticide Course.
The meetings are a joint venture of the
Plant Industry Branch of O.M.A.F. and the
_chemical manufacturers and suppliers in
Ontario. Each course lasts for two days and
begins each day at 9:30 a.m. There will be a
small fee each day to cover the cost of lunch
and coffee.
The meeting locations in this area and
dates are London at the Municipal Building
at 367 Ridout Street on February 21 and 22;
Centralia College on February 16 and 17;
Belrnore Community Centre on February 2
and 3; and Kitchener at the Cedar Barn
Restaurant on February, 23 and 24.

OMAF staff changes.
After 14 years as Agricultural Represen-
tative and, more recently, Farm Manage-
ment Specialist in Huron County, Stan Pa-
quette of Goderich has been appointed
Agricultural Representative for Brant
County, effective January 2, 1984.
Stan has . noted many changes in the
agricultural scene, including further.con-
solidation of farms, increases in productivi- '
ty, ,beef grading . systems and keener
awareness of marketing techniques. He
observed that the 70s were growth years in
many operations and the 80s are "crunch"
years for some with escalating input costs
and depressed livestock prices..
Stan has very much appreciated the
tremendous' opportunity of working with a
great many Huron farm families.
During his tenure in Huron, . Stan
developed, a reputation as a very sincere,
• dedicated staff member at the Huron office.
he worked on more Ontario Farm Adjust-
ment Assistance : Program case committee
situations .than any other Agricultural
-Representative staff member in Ontario.
Many long-lasting friendships were
developed during agricultural education
tours to Western Canada, United Kingdom;
Australia New Zealand, and Europe. He
• was long-time secretary of the Huron Coun-
ty Cattlemen's Association.
I am sure that Stan and his wife Doris will
be greatly missed by their many friends. At
the same time, we all wish them well in their
new location in Brant County.
It is expected that a Farm Management
Specialist to succeed Stan will be named in
the near future.
The OMAF office in Clinton is: pleased to
announce the appointment of Brian Hall to
the position of Farm Management
Specialist in Huron County.
Brian is a native of North York, Ontario.
He received his Bachelor's Degree of
Animal and Poultry Science in 1978. Prior to
joining the Ministry in 1980, Brian worked
on several farms across Ontario.
In his Ministry position, Brian served as
an Assistant Agricultural Representative in
Durham County until May,. 1983, when he
was transferred to the Rural Organizations
and Services Branch in that county. Brian is
looking forward to working with rural peo-
ple in Huron and the challenges that await
him in his new position.
Brian replaces John Heard, who is on
leave of absence for two years from- the
Ministry studying for a Master's Degree in
Conservation Tillage from Purdue Universi-
ty.
