begin switching over to the
metric system this summer
and fertilizer application
recommendations will be
given in metric, Ed
Brulbaker of -'the University
of Guelph told members of
the Huron Federation of
Agriculture Thursday night.
Three, of the major farm
machinery companies -
Massey Ferguson, John
Deere and International - are
designing almost entirely in
metric now, Mr. Brulbaker
said.
"It is an emotional thing.
None of us like to changed but
in many ways we are going
from a complex.system to a
simple system," he said.
Mr., 'Brulbaker "'said the
easiest way to learn • the
metric system wag to start to
•use it without referring back
to the old system.'
"The best thing for ,tis to do
would be to throw our
Fahrenheit thermometers
'away," he said,
Bev. Brown questioned the
advantage of switching
temperature scales when the
variation of one degree
Celsius was less accurate and
could be critical in a pig
operation.
"The best thing would be to
get a thermometer measured
in half degrees," Mr.
Brulbaker told her.
Farm deeds which are
presently ,.based on the
English measurement
system would not have to be
resurveyed, Mr, Brulbaker
said. But anything that is
resurveyed will be done in
metric.
The 100 pound concentrate
bags will be changed to 90
kilogram bags which is about
88 pounds. Fertilizer will be
packaged in 25 kilogram bags
or about 55 pounds., •
"The problem is that they
are dragging out the change.
If Monday they said we are
going completely metric,
we'd struggle for a week., but
we'd soon know what it
meant," Mr. Brulbaker said.
"No we wouldn't," quipped
one farmer. "We'd take up
arms and overthrow the,
government."
