Char-Creek Farms - Lambton County

(Left to right: Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP Maria Van Bommel; Margaret and John Noorloos)

John Noorloos of Char-Creek Farms is always busy creating or modifying farm equipment to improve his farm practice. One of his innovations is a tracked manure spreader that has twice the capacity of a conventional solid manure spreader. It includes a hydraulic system with a short (four foot) section of a conventional chain-driven system. His invention is environmentally friendly, reduces soil compaction and has worked well for the operation for many years.
