Mr Derek Cross, Mr Richard Mumford, Mr Thomas Jackson Editors: Norman Kay and Sandra Rath Rob Harvey Long, who won the interbreed wool championship at Sheep 2008, displays his crystal bowl award October 2008 edition 1 Rob Harvey Long is a very successful producer of wool from his Cotswold flock. At Sheep 2008 he scored a remarkable 99 points out of a possible 100 for his fleece and won the Interbreed fleece competition. Here he writes about Cotswold wool, and draws a conclusion that some may find controversial. The article leads us into 2009 - the year of the natural fibre. SOME THOUGHTS ON WOOL I joined the Cotswold Sheep Society in 1996. Besides the sheep being such friendly docile creatures, with their attractive top knot, ( or dreadlocks as my family called them), I was most attracted to them because of their wonderful lustrous wool. Learning about their long and fabled history added to my sense of admiration and great liking for these animals. I was really surprised to find in a Wool Board booklet about British sheep that the Cotswold fleece was suitable for “bunting”!!! Somehow, somewhere, something has gone wrong. When I go to the shows and see our sheep looking so good with their magnificent fleeces, I feel we are underselling our unique product.

    Research Needs Assessment of Ontario Organic Farmers

    Research Needs Assessment of Ontario Organic Farmers Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada Nova Scotia Agricultural College Truro, NS December 23, 2008 Acknowledgements Thank you to all of the producers who took time to fill in the survey and convey their opinions and insights. The response from so many farmers at such a busy time of year (late winter/spring) was truly appreciated. This is part of a national survey project. The template for this survey (see Appendix 1) was developed by Brenda Frick in consultation with researchers, government personnel and farmers in Saskatchewan and Andy Hammermeister of OACC. Regional reviews were done by Hugh Martin (Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) and Rochelle Eisen (Certified Organic Association of BC). The survey data was entered by Joanne Thiessen-Martens, Kristen Lowitt, Tracy Salisbury, and Roxanne Beavers. The report was reviewed and edited by Andy Hammermeister. This report follows the format of the OACC National Report. This facilitates comparisons of Ontario data with the national average. Where appropriate, these two documents share entire passages. The national study can be found at www.oacc.info. Distribution of this survey would not have been possible without assistance from the organic certifying bodies in Ontario who mailed survey packages to members or clients or provided us with mailing lists: Organic Council of Ontario (OCO), Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario (EFAO), and Canadian Organic Growers (COG). This report may be cited as: Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada. 2008. Research Needs Assessment of Ontario Organic Farmers. Nova Scotia Agricultural College, Truro NS, Canada.
