Aelott ..room only crowd 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.

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.
