Soilab offers farming information
AUBIjRN - Last week, a Soil and Crop
:Management Service officially opened its
door in this small rural community.
Soilab; owned by Tom Perry and his wife
Mary. Elizabeth, had been •in business in
their Auburn home for a year before they
moved into their new location at the corner
of Godericli and Loftus Streets.
The open house was a success as 60 people
attended on the first day and because of the
rain, many more farmers attended on the
second day.
Tom classifies the business as, "a crop
information centre. It's virtually a library of
information about crops grown in the area."
He said that they are trying to establish a
library of information on a variety of
fanning topics for public use. •
"We're crop consultants," he said.
' Soilab offers a soil analysis for all field
crops, a soil sampling . service, a pest
monitoring service and a crop information
centre. Their fee is based on the amount of
acreage per customer.
Al Bowden, Tom's brother-in-law, is an
employee of Soilab and his prime
Vacation Bible School ends
responsibility is soil testing. Al has a degree
from the University of Guelph, a Bachelor in
Scie.ce and Agriculture.
Information gathered from their clientele
will be placed on an Agrisoft computer for
easy reference. Tom said the company is in
the process of developing this new system.
At present, he estimated that their business
i' covering well over 10,000 acres of land.
Computers are needed to handle the large
amounts of data.
The computerized programs are used for
production records, production costing,
fertilizer treatments, pesticide treatments
and hybrid and variety selection.
Tom explained that the business was 'set
up in Auburn because, "it's a very good'
cropping area and we established here
because we wanted to establish rurally.
Soilab is a company that promises no
miracle yields through their work. They do,
however, make recommendations on how a
farmer can improve his cropping
environment.
For more information on Soilab, contact
526-7513. All inquires are welcome. •
