The Ontario Federation of Agri- culture (OFA) newsletter could be undergoing some revamping in the coming months says the OFA's manager of research and commun- ication. Cecil Bradley was one of several guest speakers at a day set aside by both the Perth and Huron federa- tions of agriculture. Other guests included Chuck Boker who is with the Mural organization services branch of the ministry of agricul- ture. He spoke on how to run a meeting. Bradley heard from directors in both counties that the monthly members' digest doesn't meet their needs. Several directors noted it arrives far too late. Usually, said Bradley, the digest is about 16 pages and contains feature stories and reports from the monthly OFA meetings held in Toronto. However, Perth director Paul Verkely of Atwood said the digest has to complete with Country Guide, the daily paper and other farm-related periodicals. The reserach and communica- tions manager said he has heard similar comments since he took his post eight months ago, but he has also heard some positive sugges- tions. The process of revamping, he says, has been informal to date, but could take on a more formal approach in the coming months. "Itwill be several months before there is a new digest, though, said Bradley. The communications and re- search manager said the digest could take on the look of a magazine by including what he called "thoughtful essays." "We could provide advice and assistance," said Bradley. The digest is sent to all those with a federation of agriculture membership. Cranbrook news Many home for holidays SNOWFLAKES ARE FALLING!
