It appears to be an excellent haying season in Halton this year accord to Henry Stanley agricultural representative with the Ontario Mini stry of Agriculture and Food They got the hay into the bams without getting it wet and it looks like its excellent quality he said Stanley said the rain in some areas this weekend slowed up the haying on Monday but many farmers have finished fairly wet season he said but this year they arc going to be finished in half the time some dairy far finished He speculated that the yield will not be better than 1982 but the quality will be better But it will likely bea relatively poor year for com and wheat due to the lalcseed The current problem facing area farmers is the lack of rain for the spring grain and corn which was late this year in being seeded We need a good half inch to an inch of rain In the next three to four days or we won get the yield we need Stanley commented He said is more crucial this because of the late seeding Because of the rain the seeding was late he said Samefarmers were plant as late as the first week ol June instead of the middle of May he said another problem encountered by farmers Is the lack of effectiveness of some herbicides because of the dry weather really need the rain he added explaining the moisture is needed to get the second crop of hay growing In his opinion the strawberries have peaked this week They have matured very quickly this due to the heat he ex plained Stanley mentioned the people with irrlgat ion systems will probably do well and have Due to the lack of rain little disease or rot in the strawberries he pointed out Strawberries ore going full speed this week he said It is the best week I think Continued from page I Sojka he had difficulty with customs The officer in Toronto went
