Disable Logging Locally Within Rails Rake Task

I run rails 2.1 and I have a rails task that imports a lot of data and it's bloating my development log. I'd like to disable (or reduce) logging during this particular task, but not globally. I've read that there is a logger.silence block (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/ pages/HowtoSelectivelySuppressLogging) that would do this. But within a rake task, how do I reference the logger instance being used to call the silence method?

Or is there another way to accomplish this?

Unless you're doing something magic I would imagine it's just RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.

Thanks, that was it. FWIW ActiveRecord::Base.logger also worked.
