Junior farmers hold annual Approximately 45 Junior Farmer county directors from across the province were special guests Saturday evening at the Huron County Junior Famers' Association's second annual banquet, held in the Blyth Community Centre. The banquet featured the installation of officers for 1981, award presentations and a guest speaker, Bruce McCall, operator of the Brus- sels Stock Yards. Mr. McCall encouraged the young farmers to take their interest in agriculture seriously for the betterment of the country. He said the Junior Farm- ers represent one of Can- ada's greatest resources - agriculture - because all Canadians depend on the productivity of the land. He maintained that this product- ivity has been looked after and improved upon by organ- izations such as the Junior Farmers, "by joining togeth- er and exchanging ideas for the benefit of the whole industry." Mr. McCall felt that most of the country's problems are centred around non-renew- able resources, but agricul- ture is a renewable resource and it should be protected. He warned the crowd that government doesn't always give agriculture the attention it deserves and suggested that political leaders be warned against, "destroying the land by putting it under asphalt and cement."
