Reach membership goal •
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture has reached its
target membership for 1972,
Federation President Gordon Hill
reported that his farm organiza-
tion now has just over 11.,000
members. There were 7,500
members in June, 1971.
"We . were very optimis-
tic when we set our 1972 goal
at 11;000 members," Mr. Hill
said. "We weren't entirel3t sure
we could reach it. But-response
to our program has been fant-
astic. Ontario farmers, more
than ever before, feel they must
get organized. Credit must also
eo to those workers whose ef-
fort and enthusiasm have brought
this about."
The president said the Fed-
eration had proved its abilities
as a farmers' organization. "we
have won sIgnificant victories
for farmers .- cheaper truck
licenses, expanded capital
grants, reduced property tax
burden - and more farmers are
recognizing this."
"But we still have a way to
go," Mr. Hill 'admitted. The PO-
oration needs more members.
We cannot claim to represent
all, Ontario farmers until all
farmers have joined the feder-
ation."
