Z1M Local people attend conference About 400 Junior Farmers from across the province met for their Annual March Conference at the Holiday Inn in London, March 14 to 16. The theme for this years' Conference was "Growing For The Future". Delegates worked on developing various skills such as leadership and communication while they met fellow Junior Farmer members. Pork producers' ideas wanted Have you come upwith a good idea lately? Most pork producers are con- stantly trying to do their work better and faster. This often involves a new gadget, a different record keeping system, easier loading facilities or even a new building layout. One of the more interesting parts of the Ontario Pork Congress is the Innovator Contest. Farmers from across the Province enter ideas in three categories: Manage- ment Ideas, Gadgets, or Building Ideas. They are judged and the first three in each category win prizes of $225 - l st; $125 - 2nd; and $75 - 3rd. If you are a pork producer and have an idea that you would like to enter in our contest, write up a description of it and send it along with a picture if possible, to Sam Bradshaw, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Box 159, Clinton. All entries will be on display at the Ontario Pork Con- gress. March Conference combines the Organization's Annual Meeting with the election of the Provincial President and Vice -President as well as an atmosphere conducive to learning. The programme was filled with dynamic Guest Speak- ers and active group discussions. One of the highlights of the March Conference was a Banquet and Dance. At this occasion, a Candlelight Ceremony marked the induction of Provincial Directors and Executive for the upcoming year and the announcement were made of the selected winners of interprovincial and overseas trips. Huron County sent 12 delegates to this event.
