By Oksana Buhel A faster, easier bill-paying system, used widely by com- mercial enterprises, will be explored by the Town of Halton Hills as a possible means of tax collection. Councillor Rick Bonnette By Eileen Ross. Ken McNabb has been chosen as the 1993 Halton Outstanding Farmer of the Year. He will be honored at a dinner to be held Nov. 26 at the Acton Legion on Wright St. Nominated by the Halton Soil and Crop Improvement Association, McNabb is very pleased with the recog- nition for his hard work. He owns and operates a dairy farm (Callumlea) as well as growing hay, wheat, small grains and corn on 230 acres of land located on Trafalgar Road. Raised on a_ farm, McNabb grew up working ‘with Cows and growing hay and wheat. He earned a degree in agriculture (B.Sc.Agr.) at the Ontario Agricultural College and eventually purchased the dairy operation from his parents in 1989. Since taking on full responsibility at the dairy farm, McNabb has been working to improve the herd as well as the general set-up of the operation. The current Breed Class Average (BCA) is 182-176- 187 which is noticeably improved ovef the 1992 BCA of 170-165-176. The 1992 provincial average was 175-160-176. McNabb’s farm recently sold it’s first bull for artifi- cial insemination purposes to estern Ontario Breeders Inc. Last year, a senior yearling heifer was shown at Stratford, Ottawa, Madison (Wisconsin), Louisville (Kentucky) and at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto. She came second at the Winter Fair, third at Madison and was declared Reserve All Canadian Senior Yearling. Callumlea’s wheat and corn fields won the Halton High Economic Yield Competition with yields of 101bushels/acre and 138 bushels/acre respectively (the average was 86 and 122) in 1992. meet his maximum profitability goals, McNabb makes use of such manage- ment tools as soil tests, feed analysis and ration formula- tion. The newly created nitrogen soil test was used onthe farm in 1992 and council meeting the system of equalized billing be researched as a means of “easing tax payments for res- idents instead of having to face one lump sum every three months.” Equalized billing, which is recommended at Monday's currently used by companies Ken McNabb chosen 1993 Farmer of the Year ee McNabb is actively involved in many agricul- tural organizations. He served, and in most cases, still serves as a Director for associations such as 4-H, Halton. Soil and Crop Improvement Association, Halton Federation of Agriculture, local Agriculture Societies and the Ontario Guernsey Association. McNabb also participates in the Ontario Farm Management Analysis Project which gives him a measure of his farm’s finan- cial results and also allows him to compare. his results with other dairy farms. McNabb finds farming to be a very rewarding occupa- tion, finding great enjoy- ment out of spending time working with the cows and growing crops. However farming is a lot of work, there’s plenty of cows to be milked 365 days of the year. Farming seems to be in the blood with the McNabb family. His father, John Y. McNabb, started the tradi- tion when he won the first Halton Outstanding Farmer Award. When asked if he would like the tradition to grow to include his, 7- month-old son, Colin, McNabb said he would be pleased if his son decided to follow in his footsteps. “It’s a Satisfying life. You own your own small business where the harder you work and the more attention you give it, the more successful and satisfying it can be.” Equalized tax billing suggested to council such as Halton Hills Hydro, divides annual payments into 12 instalments which are automatically withdrawn from the customer’s bank account. Mayor Russ Miller praised the recommendation but admitted it would be a “immense task.” Bonnette agreed, adding he was only asking for a report from town staff on the merits and necessary steps required to implement the system.
