Ventilation must come first! A barn must be planned around the ventilation system, NOT the other way around. NOT planning your ventilation system first is like incor- W porat ng five pounds-of_atrazine ivaQ a field and then at the last minute planting soy- beans. It won't work! • There are many ventilation systems available and most will work if 'the type of animal, the width of the barn and, most im- portant, the pen layout, are matched to the ventilation system. There are three basic systems. - negative pressure cross flow, powered intakes and natural. Most operators are using the cross flow system with fans in one wall and a slot -type inlet with a baffle board. This style works well if incoming air, is directed across the •-ceiling and allowed to. drop .in the lunging area. It won't work if. the air is allowed to drop in the feeding or resting area. Dirty pens and sick animals usually result. Fan -powered -air inlets will also do a job of -ventilating if the r-oomis.designed for them,_,_ again making sure the air is directed along the ceiling and dropped only in the dunging area. Natural ventilation using continuous automated doors along both sides of . a building plus a continuous slot opening at the ridge which can also be controlled has proven to be a good option over the past few years. Open -front shed roof buildings, again using natural ventilation, have also proven themselves and are quite economical. Most, air systems will work if you plan ahead.

The ii e may settle in the centre due to the. lower -liquid level and push out on, the sides and break the tank. . . This happened to one farmer this past week. A•few inches of liquid were pumped out from under the ice causing the weight of the ice to work like a lever against the side§. The tank wall cracked open with a sudden bang. Before you pump any manure out, the ice must be free from the tank sides. You may have to agitate the tank or use other means to break the ice or wait for warm weather to melt and free it from the sides. ' We have the unusual situation this year of extremely heavy ice in manure tanks, but open • conditions for field travel with spreaders.' Don't be tempted to get a head start on your manure spreading job. It could be expensive. By Norrmi Bird, Ag. Eng..
