costing more and feed is by far the most important Soybean meal the main source of protein is quite expensive and grain coming from the West isnt cheap Rising transportation costs affect grain prices particularly since the government changed feed freight assistance rates last year While mixed feed and grain prices hold up well we have a surplus here in York at harvest time and demand for local grain has been slow all winter Livestock farmers could do some cost cutting by buying local grain but storage for a years supply would be needed along with equipment to handle it The federal government has Just set up a plan to jncourage this Financial assistance is available now or grain storages silos dryers augers conveyors automatic feeders grinders and mixers A grant of 30 FARM

poor weed control in onions Several weeds Including grasses are escaping the herbicides applied recently As soon as the onions have formed a true leaf it will be safe to spray with Mesoranil and As soon as the onions have three leaves it wilt be safe to apply Always remember that very small weeds are much easier to kill than large ones Do not wait until weeds are so large that heavy doses of
