have now settled down into a
"stable pattern". The number
of dairy farms has decreased in
the township over the last twenty
years, Mr. Hill said, although
they are now larger and more
productive. He noted that cash
cropping was a relative new-
comer to the township but doubted
it would have the same impact
on land use as the southern
townships of the county because
of the colder climatic conditions.
To the economy of the township
pigs are now a very significant
factor.
Mr. Hill concluded his pre-
sentation commenting that
without doubt his findings had
confirmed Grey Township as a
prosperous farming township in
the county. The richness of the
soil and the diversity of agri-
cultural activity contribute to
this stability. "This major
question now" Mr. Hill said "is
should prime agricultural land
be planned for agricultural use
exclusively, and zoned as such,
or should other non-agricultural
uses such as residences,
cottages, feed mills, junk yards
or golf courses be allowed?"
After a coffee break and re-
freshments, Mr. Thomas, Reeve
of the Township, opened the meet-
ing up to questions and dis-
cussion. Discussion revolved
around land severence, land use,
planning, aside from intensive
farm operationS and recreat-
ional land.
Ian MacDonald opened the
discussion saying that there is
a, lot of land in Grey Township
that would be more suitable for
10.
