Hot weather leaves its mark
Despite two weekend showers
the summer heat has left its
mark on Huron County crops,
according to agriculture
representative Don Pullen.
The corn crop germinated
unevenly because of the heat but
light rains will help the situation,
said Pullen.
Corn yields willbe average this
year and farmers will face a
double-barrelled problem with
the current trends in corn prices,
he said.
Early planted grains have
provided the bestyields in the
barley and wheat crops. Fields
planted later, and on light soil
have suffered from a lack of
moisture, said Pullen.
"It's really remarkable in this
part of the county that things look

as good as they do", said Pullen.
Dry summer weather through the
centre of the county has kept
yields low in that region.
The wheat crop was averaged
with yields in the 45 to 55 bushel
per acre range, he said.
Hot weather has caused some
flower drop-off in the bean crop
this year but it is difficult to
estimate how the crop will turn
out at this point, said Pullen.
Humid weather, conducive to
white bean mould, could hurt the
bean crop. "What we need is a
good gentle 1 -inch rain within the
next week and that would do us
some good", said Pullen.
Hot weather has also resulted
in some pea crops being by
passed, according to Canadian
Canners manager Jack
Urquhart.
"This is the first time We've
bypassed acreage for several
years because of the heat", said
Urquhart. Hot weather hardens
peas by speeding up the maturity
rate.
"Some of the, acreage was
dropped because we couldn't
handle it and there was some
acreage we had to bypass
because of hail damage", said
Urquhart.
Farmers with bypassed crops
are covered by crop insurance,
said Urquhart.
Pea yields have been above
average this year and the harvest
is going very well, said Urquhart,
Canners corn crops have been
doing well and packing should
begin by the end of next week,
said Urquhart
