College to hold open house Nov. 6
Bridge building, rhutabaga carving,
culinary arts and photography competitions
- these are just a few of the attractions dur-
ing the Open House at the Centralia College
of Agricultural Technology on Wednesday,
November 6 from 1:00 - 9:00 p.m.
The displays and demonstrations,
organized by the students, revolve around
this year's Open House theme "Today's
Youth ... Tomorrow's Leader's". These
displays will also emphasize the major sub-
jects within each of the three college pro-
grams: Agricultural Business Manage-
ment, Food Service Management and
Animal Health Technology,
This annual event is an excellent oppor-
tunity to see what's happening at a local
agricultural college and to talk to both in-
structors and students. High school students
and their families are especially welcome.
Guests will be greeted at Huron Hall and
will be guided on a walking tour of the cam-
pus and it's facilities. Other events featured
are competitions in field and vegetable
crops, clothing, leisure arts, skits and im-
promptu speeches.
Changes made to erosion
control grant program
In 1983 the Ontario Soil Conservation and
Environmental Protection Assistance Pro-
gram (OSCEPAP) was initiated. It provides
a grant of 50 percent of the eligible cost of
work on approved soil erosion control pro-
jects up to a maximum of $7500 per farm
operation. Eligible items include for exam-
ple ditch buffer strips, tile outlets protec-
tion, windbreaks, k w- level ditch and
stream crossings and drop inlet spillways.
Changes to the ero: ion control section of
the OSCEPAP were a inounced recently by
the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food. Effective October 16, 1985 for all new
proposals and those proposals in progress at
the County—District offices, the engineer-
ing requirements for Category I items are
relaxed. The categories have been
eliminated and there is now one list of eligi-
ble items.
As a result the requirement for profes-
sional engineering design and construction
supervision will depend upon the project as
determined by the county—district OMAF
staff. In addition a certification course for
contractors interested in doing erosion con-
trol works will be given this winter. It is an-
ticipated that these Certified Erosion Con-
trol Contractors will play a larger roll in the
design— installation of projects that are
non-complex and do not involve more than
one landowner. Any projects involving more
than one landowner (multiple projects)
must first be referred to the Soil and Water
Management Branch office in Guelph for
approval.
Farmers upset over
new calibration chart
Ontario corn farmers continue to be upset
over the new calibration chart introduced
this autumn by the Canadian Grain Com-
mission for estimating percent grain corn
moisture via the Model 919 moisture tester
used by most Canadian elevators.
The new calibration chart predicts grail
moisture percentages which are higher than
those listed by the former chart used in
Canada since 1977. The differences which
are greatest at relatively cool
temperatures, such as are characteristic of
the October -November corn harvest season
in Ontario, range from about 1 percent wet-
ter with the new chart for corn near 20 pr -
cent moisture, to over 3 percent wetter for
corn above 30 percent moisture.
Officials of the Ontario Corn Producers'
Association 1 DCPA t have discussed pro-
cedures used to produce the new (•hart with
the Canadian (rain Commission in Win-
nipeg. OCPA is particularly concerned that
111 samples used for calibration were ship-
ped to Winnipeg in their set state before
measurement, allowing possible time for
deterioration, 2) the temperature adjust-
ment factor in the new chart is based on
measurements involving only two samples
of corn, and 13 t several years of available
data were ornmitted before calculating the
calibration equation.
The Model 919 moisture tester is also used
in the United States, and'OCPA has obtained
details on the calibration chart used by the
U.S. (rain Inspection Service. which was
developed by Iowa State University and the
University of Illinois
In a recent study involving five country
dealers across Ontario, 14 samples of corn
were collected in early October. The
samples, which ranged from 22 to 30 percent
moisture, were tested using the U.S.
calibration chart and both the old and new
charts produced by the Canadian Grain
Commission. The results were very consis-
tent across all samples, and showed an
average reading of 26.0 percent by the U.S.
method, 26.4 percent by the 1977 Commis-
sion chart, and 28.4 percent by the new
chart. Results add to OCPA suspicions
regarding the validity of the new chart.
OCPA has calculated that use of the new
chart would cost the average producer 9
cents per bushel for wet corn delivered to
elevators this fall as per drying schedules in
place in early October. Approximately 1.6
cents of this cost relates to additional drying
costs and 7.4 cents results from shrinkage
loss. The shrinkage loss is caused by the fact
that the new chart means the average
farmer will be paid for about 3 percent less
dry corn than would have been the case with
the old chart.
The Ontario Grain and Feed Dealers'
Association has recently recommended that
drying charges be reduced in Ontario, effec-
tive October 15. These reductions will
decrease the drying charge for the average
producer by about 3.5 cents per bushel of
corn. Farmers should be prepared to ask
dealers for additional off -setting considera-
tions to compensate for the shrinkage loss
not compensated for by the reduced drying
fee.
