Milk Producers Annual meeting Huron County milk producers are reminded of their Annual Meeting being held on Friday, March 28th, 1980 at 1:00p.m. sharp, in the Auditorium, Royal Canadian Legion, Clinton, Ontario. Guest speaker will be Mr. Kenneth McKinnon, Chairman of O.M.M.B. By JACK HAGARTY Area Co-ordinator and Farm Management Specialist The best resource in agriculture is the farm peo- ple themselves. I believe it. Corporate farms have not taken over agriculture. The family farm offers competi- tion that's just too tough. I'm wondering if we might make that competition even tougher. I'm talking about farm women being involved in farm management, That's a force to be reckoned with. Can't you see those cor- porate executives throwing up their hands in disgust and saying "that does it - that's the last straw. A husband- wife management team! We'd best fold our tent and move on. We can't supply that kind of balanced exper- tise." Mr. and Mrs. Hemingway of north Huron County recently presented a joint talk at the Waterloo- Wellington Swine Conference. She's a graduate from the Animal Health Technology Course and he's a graduate of the Agricultural Business Management Course at Cen- tralia College of Agricultural Technology. They work as a management team. Each has their special farm responsibilities. She controls the herd health. You can be sure everyone in the audience listened. And women felt a sense of pride, I've noticed that young farm wives are very in- terested in the business of asset transfer and business agreements. On three oc- casions lately, they've been involved in the counselling sessions. They had off-farm business experience in bank- ing or accounting that helped them grasp the details of The first meeting of Hurondale 5 4H club was held February 11. Officers are; President: Darlene McBride, Vice President: Brenda McDonald, Secretary: Brenda Thompson and Press Reporter: Deb Brunzlow. The name of the club is "Knotty Knotters". Leaders discussed the materials we would need for the next meeting, to start our sam- ples. The second meeting was held on February 18. Each girl did a small sampler of the basic macrame knots for their books. Leaders mortgages, buy-sell agreements and capital cost allowance. They asked very good questions. And they sent me to the filing cabinet searching for answers - that's good - embarrassing - but In the long run, we all benefit. Should we offer some courses primarily for farm women? It's being done in some areas. The women say it lets them ask all kinds of questions"- that men might think stupid. Following the courses, the comment from discussed 'the junior and senior samplers to be done. Each girl found what their colours of the year were and discussed each colour. The meeting was adjourned by Patty Masnica. The third meeting was held February 25. Members discussed the furnishings in their rooms. They also talked about what could be done for freechoicearticles, The leaders discussed the different uses for bedrooms such as study rooms, reading room, etc. The meeting was adjourned by Brenda Thompson.The next meeting, will be held Monday, March 24. The Ontario: Agricultural Hall Of Fame ASStiati011 announces the names of nine outstanding Ontario agriculturalists: who will be recognized this year in the Bait of Fame Gallery at the Ontario, Agricultural Museum in Milton. The nine candidates, all deceased, represent more than 100 years of combined effort and initiative in building a better agriculture for the province, The President, of the Ontario Agricultural hall of Fame Association, Wm. Kilmer of Mississauga, has released the names of persons to be honoured in an' unveiling ceremony on June 1, 1980, Included is Joseph H, Patrick, Ilderton (18634939), pnrebred livestocic breeder,, exhibitor, exporter and importer, When making this an- npuncement, Kilmer ex- pressed his pleasure with the high calibre of nominations received. "This is, a new undertaking in Ontario and one that is long overdue", he "The Association is dehghted that the first nine persons to be honoured in our Gallery represent such a wide cross-section of the industry. In every case, the results of their efforts can be seen as a positive influence on Ontario agriculture in 1980. I am sure that by honouring these outstanding citizens, the Association is opening the door to many more nominations of persons worthy of recognition." An artist is now preparing likenesses of the nine cam didates and these will be unveiled at a special ceremony attended by members,.sponsors, families and friends of those to be recognized. The Gallery will be located in the Main Building at the Ontario Agricultural Museum at Milton and will be open to the public during the Museum's regular open hours, after June 1. Anyone wishing further information on the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame Association, especially with respect to memberships, future nominations and visiting hours should write to the Secretary-Treasurer, Box 38, Milton, Ontario L9T 2Y3, telephone (416) 878-8151. the instructor usually is "WOW, what good questions - some of those things never occurred to me". It just could be that many things in farm management are not thought of because we've ig- nored the women's point of view. Farm women are invited to participate in all 0.M.A.F. programs. Wouldn't it be great to see many farm women atten- ding the educational sessions? Those corporate executives would see the writing on the wall - "farm families are here to stay".
