SATURDAY til 4 P.M, Farmers can save by saving energy Energy conservation on the farm can save money. That is the message that 'was delivered to some 50 representatives of electrical - contractors, farm equip- ment dealers, farm feed companies and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at an agricultural energy conservation semi- nar sponsored by Ontario Hydro at its Regional office in Willowdale. Bill Cooke, a Hydro Agri- cultural Applications Super- visor, described three re- search projects carried out with the co-operation of far- mers which indicated met- hods of saving energy and costs. Air-to-air heat exchangers _._installed in a barn housing 8,000 ducks at the King Cole farm: in Newmarket was credited with saving $800. in "its first two months of oper- ation, A dimmer control and __time clock system in a bro-_ iler chicken barn operated by Bruce Chidley at Noble- ton shows that nearly a quarter of a million dollars can be saved annually by the province's broiler rais- ers by reducing lighting le- vels while still producing as good or even better broilers. Installation of a heat ex- changer in a milk cooling system on a diary farm at Snelgrove produced savings of at least $20 a month in a recent winter test. Severalindustry speakers at the three-hour evening seminar described applica- tions of their particular pro- ducts that could lead to energy savings. They in- cluded Roy Binns of Marr Electric, Weston, Bill Bloomfield of American Su- perior Electric, Toronto, Wayne Beath of Surge Dairy Equipment, Port Cre- dit and Tom Kilmer of In- dusco Sales, Toronto, -Re- presenting the O.M.A.F. was Jim Myslik, Agricul tural Engineer at Bramp- ton. Setting the tone of the meeting, George Awde, a Hydro Commercial Appli- cations Supervisor, said, "Unless the -growth--in-de- mand for electricity throughout the province can be reduced from its tradi- tional rate of seven per cent, electrical brownouts will occur regularly as ear- ly as 1980." Why do Income Taxes and Property Taxes come 80 soon after Christmas? We can't amswer the question, but regular savings and low cost Credit Union Loans can help ease the pain.
