OMC:US:Se-S.' f A land policy
Standin
The Federation of Agriculture's
new land-use policy was called
everything from "regressive" to
"realistic" at the Huron County
Federation meeting in Clinton.
Thursday night.
Township councillors and
farmers packed the meeting to
standing room only to hear Bill
Benson, a member of the.
Provincial executive, of the 0.F.A.
explain the Federation's change
in policy.
The policy. which was adopted
at the Federation's annual
meeting in Hamilton called for
the Federation to reduce its
demands for Provincial land-use
control and to give top priority to
nine alternative measures of
improving - the competitive
position of food producers in
Ontario.
' It is more' of a change in st
rategy than a change in policy,"
Mr.. Benson said. "Deep down
inside the majority of farmers
believe farmland should be
preserved for future generations
to use.-
The nine measures are aimed
more at saving the farmer than
the farmland, Mr. Benson said.
The measures include lobbying
for the lessening of odour
restrictions in the agricultural

areas, noise by-laws revised to
allow for normal farming
operations, import controls,
taxation reform, and greater farm
income security.
The measures call for the
County Federations to develop
land-use and severance policy
suitable for their own county
conditions.
"I'm glad to, see the Federation
adopt the policy of local land-use
planning," Reeve Gerry Ginn of
Goderich township told the
meeting. "It should not be
provincial planning, it should be
local 'people who do the
planning."
Mr. Ginn said that under
Huron Countys planning system
the township council was
responsible for each individual
township plan.
"If you, are not satisfied, don't
blame the County planning
board, blame your local township
council as they are the ones who
interpret the public meeting and
set the plan," 'he said.
George Underwood, however,
said he was most disappointed
with the OFA policy. think it
was a regressive step taken at a
time when a farm prices are low.
We need to push and push."
Merle. Gun. by suggested that
the Federation should also look at
preserving the farm community
as well' as the land.. Urban
development seriously impaired
the agriculture 'community and
destroyed many of the intangible
benefits of rural life, .he said.
"Coming from an urban fringe
area, I find the lifestyle in Huron
County so much better to li ve in
and to work in agriculture," he
said.
In other business the.
Federation learned that .many
townships were receiving less
money in tile drain loans from the
provincial government. McKillop
Reeve Allan Campbell told the
meeting that his township had
been cut back from $131,000 in
1976 to $118,000 for 1977. Reeve
Bill Elston of Morris Township
said that Morris had been cut
back from $37,000 to $33,000".
A motion was passed that, the
matter be referred to the
development committee for
study.
