Huron farmers will have an
opportunity to discuss a proposal
that would result in policy par
ticiPation tit Federation of Agri-
culture adivities being related
to 'farming involvement.
Huron Federation of Agricul-
ture has asked that the proposal
be discussed at 16 township feder-
ation meetings across Huron
during January.
. The OFA proposal suggests
that "only farmers with a sig-
nificant portion of their income'
affected, by the implementation
.of a policy should have the right
to express an opinion larding
the development of e, said
policy." •
The county federation will
take a stand on this proposal
after learning the opinions of
the township federations.
"The idea IS mainly a way to
get the people I producing the
products having the say and not
somebody else," said ,education
committee chairman Mer—
vin Smith, R.R.1, *anon.
"It doesn't seem fair -when
a man who has only two hogs hati
as much say on a, question as a
man with 1,000 hogs."
With the decision to allow
the township a say in this ques-
tion, said county federation
president Masan Bailey, "I think,,,,,
you are on the path of democracy-t
with everyone having a gay."
