Instead farmers are being urged to move into the nearest urban centre upon retirement. "We need protection for farmers all across Ontario," Henderson said, "I will support those people who have lived their life on the farm and wish to remain on their farms." He said he opposes the spread of residential set- tlement of agricultural areas but that policy should not apply to farmers' retirement severances, for severances to build quarters for farm workers or for an additional house for a son who works in an urban centre but helps part-time on the farm. Such sons usually end up working full-time on the farm within three or four years, the minister said. Henderson also made it clear he has no sympathy for urban dwellers who take up residence near farms and then complain about odors or take legal action to have farm activities curtailed. He found urban Support from Dresden Mayor Tony Stranak. "Move downtown if you don't want to smell it," Stranak told the seminar attended by about 60 municipal and provincial officials. "Why did he build a house there? We should support our farmers and bless them for putting food on the table. If you ever see what they pay in Europe, you'd put up with a hell of a lot more smell." Doug McTavish, en- vironment ministry regional director in London, had no figures available but said "we get a lot of complaints" about farm odors. Enniskillen Township Coun. Larry O'Neill was critical of rural municiapalities for the latitude they grant farm operations, "It seems to me anything done on agricultural land is okay" to those councils, he said. Jim Miller, a ministry of agriculture representative from St. Thomas, said urban municipalities have to consider carefully before trying to annex farmland. He cited a recent Ontario Municipal Board decision which rejected the town of Hanover's attempt to annex abutting agricultural land. "Chatham wants to annex land. Where do you go? It's all class-1 land all around," said Miller. "If there are hog farms with a lot of capital investment, let's stay away from it and go for bare land."
