Grants available for. commercial dryers
A grant for automatic controls on com-
mercial grain dryers was announced Oc-
tober 25. This is a Joint program of Energy
Ontario and the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food. This is a one-third
grant on the installation and capital cost to a
maximum of $30,000 per dryer. With this
type of equipment, energy cost can be cut by
10 per cent.
On-farm dryers do not qualify unless the
owner is registered under the Ontario Grain
Financial Protection Program. Farmers
who dry their own, or do custom drying, do
not qualify. Corn or soybeans would have to
be purchased by the elevator operator to
qualify. The emphasis on this program has
been placed on commercial dryers, as they
dry more than 70 per cert of the grain corn
in Ontario.
Grants are retroactive to operations
which have completed projects since April
1, 1984. Project proposal forms are available
from the Ontario Grain and Feed Dealers
Association (622-3800 in Cambridge),

Are your Corn/Soybean
Sales Covered?
The grain elevator protection program
announced by Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food Minister Dennis Tim-
brell came into effect on October 15 and
licenses have now been issued.
The program is funded by a 10 cents per
tonne levy on corn sales to dealers but not on
farm to farm sales. Licensed dealers will
automatically make the 10 cents/tonne
deduction required.
If you sell corn to a licensed dealer, and
the dealer does not make payment to you
within 10 days of delivery, you may make a
claim to the program.
Although most dealers have now been
licensed under the program, new licenses
are being issued every day.
You will know if your dealer has been
licensed, beSause he will have on display a
license certificate issued to him.
I'm sure there are sales of corn and soy-
beans being made to non -licensed dealers.
Such sales of course are not protected
should the dealer default on payment. It is
not a case of trusting your dealer. There are

Want to work with council on hydro line
The Huron County Federation of
Agriculture wants to work with Huron Coun-

members, approached county council at its

federation that council has not taken any

Soil map is being upgraded
The Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement
Association in cooperation with the Ontario
Institute of Pedology and the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food are
presently in the process of upgrading por-
tions of the soil maps for Huron, Perth,
Bruce, Grey, Wellington and Waterloo con -
ties.
The objective of this pilot project is to col-
lect pertinent data that will complement the
existing soil information. It is hoped that
this additional information will allow for
better and more accurate soil interpretata-
tions (i.e., improved C.L.I. maps, soil con-
servation and soil management recommen-
dations).
Eight employees have been hired for the
project through a Canada Employment and
Immigration Centre Job Creation Program,
which sponsors the employees for the six-
month duration of the project.
Five field workers are travelling the study
area in private cars making slope length,
slope angle, crop, stoniness and erosion
observations, as well as taking soil samples.
The soil samples are taken with a small
hand shovel a few meters into the field. In-
formation gathered during the study ill be
processed by the three remaining people
working in lab, computer and ad-
ministrative positions.
The data collection phase of the project
will be completed during the first ten to thir-
teen weeks of the program, after which the
data analysis and interpretation phase will
follow. The final stage of the project will in-
volve the synthesis of new information and
its prese on on 1:50,000scale maps.
These mals v then be distributed to the
interested parties in the above mentioned
areas.
If successful this project will demonstrate
the ability to upgrade existing soil maps
without a full scale soil survey. It is an-
ticipated that in the coming year this pro-
ject will be expanded into areas of the pro-
vince not slated for regular soil survey up-
dating in the near future.
The cooperation of the landowners and
agricultural representatives in the concern-
ed areas is greatly appreciated.
