A discussion on .land-use
an pining and farming. brought a
wide number of suggestions at the
monthly meeting of the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture
held Thursday night in Clinton.
The members present broke
into four groups to discuss the
problem and' each group came
up. with 'different answers. One
'group suggested agricultural
people shbuld be able to retire
on agriculthral land and recom-
mended the licencing of farmers.
Another 'group said Huron
County land should be used to
best advantage and claimed the
present Huron county plan doesn't
make provision for this. The
group thought that if -a small
portion of-a farm was separated
from the rest' of the farm' by a
natural boundary such as a river
so that it was difficult to work it
as Dart of the farm, the farmer

should be allowed to sell it for
use for building lots.
Another group Said there
, should be province 'wide controls
with farmers hiving a say in
how land should be zoned.
. The fOurth group asked for
compensation for farmers whose
land lost -value when it was
declared off-limits for urban
uses. It also said the code of
practice for farmers which says
a farm building cannot be" built
within 1000'feet of an urban area
should apply in reverse so 'that
urban homes cannot be located
within 1000 feet of a farm oper-
ation.
Farmers were penalized by
zoning, one memtfer said. They
could be in a position where
they couldn't make money on,the
farm and yet couldn't' sell the,
farm to developers.
