Approvals Needed For Farm Pond Construction A farm pond provides water or livestock and can be used or irrigation, as well as being à source of recreation. How- >ver, the construction of a arm pond is an expensive venture. Mr. J.E. Brubaker, Agricultural Engineer with the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food, points out that the cost could run anywhere from several thou- sand to twenty thousand dollars, depending on the size and type of pond constructed. In addition, once the pond has been built there will be main- tenance costs involved. The growth of weeds and algae may have to be controlled; it might be necessary to shore up the pond's edges and the dam if erosion becomes a roblem. The best time to uild is in the summer or early fall, but before you even begin to think about construction, there ate a number of things that must be done. Mr. J.A. Bryant, Assistant Land Supervisor with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources at Cambridge points out that plans for the construction of ahl farm ponds connected to streams must be approved by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Re- sources. An application to build, containing such infor- mation as the type of con- struction pro posed, flood areas, and the location of the stream and pond must be filed with the local district office. These applications are avail- able at district offices of the Ministry of Natural Re- sources. The district office for our area is located at 322 Kent St. W., in Lindsay. A rough sketch of the pond and adjacent property should ac- company this application. Upon receipt of the sketch and application, the Ministry of Natural Resources will carry out a site inspection and give tentative approval or sugges- tions for changes. If the site is approved, three copies of detaile plans of the pond and dam structures have to be sent to the local office of the Ministry of Natural Re- sources. Mr. Bryant advises that it may be necessary to have an engineer's help to design these plans. The plans are then sent to Toronto for evaluation and final approval. If they are approve , copies will be returne and construc- tion can begin immediately. The application procedure may take anywhere up to six months if problems are en- countered, so be sure to apply early. The district and county offices of either the Ministry of Agriculture and Food or the Ministry of Natural Resources can be contacted if questions arise. We do want to empha- size again, however, if you are planning on building a pond -ate this summer or fal, and it is connected to a stream, that you must have approval from Iatterypower is tter You can mow an acre of lawn for just a fèw pennies worth of electricity!

Cow Stabilization Versus Beef Stabilization Program There has been some confu- sion with regards to the Beef- Cow Stabilization Plan, and the Federal Beef Stabilization Plan that was announced back in August of 1974. We do want to emphasize that the Beef Stabilization Program which applies to all cattle grading A, B, and C runs from August 12, 1974 to August 11, 1975. Under this program, a price support of $45.42 per cwt. has been established. This support is based on the five year average rices of Al, A2 steers and eifers in Toronto, Winnipeg and Calgary weighted by sales volume and indexed upward by the expected change in farming input price index between the period of the five year average in the fourth- coming year. If, at the end of the 12-month period from August, 1974 to August, 1975 the average nationa price for Ai and A2 steers an heifers during the period of the program is below $45.42 per cwt. the Federal government will pay cattlemen a defi- ciency payment. The payment will apply to all cattle that graded A, B, and C, however, we want'to emphasize the beef stabilization Program apply- ing to fat cattle is not in effect at the moment and will not be until mid-August of this year. The program which produ- cers are applying for at the moment is t e Cow Stabiliza- tion Program and we would point out that we still have applications at the office, if vou have cows that were sold between November 14 and the end of April this year, For further information on the Cow Stabilization Program, please contact the office in Bowmanville.
