Area family hosts special Japanese visitors
George and Elizabeth Procter of
RR 5, Brussels recently enjoyed a
visit from a very special guest.
Fujihiko Yoshino of Japan, who
spent time with the Procters 23
years ago on an agricultural ex
change, returned for his first visit
back last week. Accompanying him
were his wife, Kazue and son
Yusuke.
Mr. Yoshino is the vice-president
of the International Agricultural
Exchange Program and was in
Canada to attend a meeting in
Calgary. He made a brief stopover
to spend time with the family who
had played host to him and showed
him the methods of farming in
Canada over two decades ago.
A dairy farmer in his native
country, Mr. Yoshima says the
industry there is on a much smaller
scale than here. There is no pasture
or hay in Japan and Mr. Yoshima
says the average farm is only about
two or three hectares in size.
“Farming in Japan is about 10
years behind farming in Canada,
he said.
In the 23 years that have passed
since Mr. Yoshima last saw the
Procter farm he has noticed a great
deal of change. “It is still very
good, a nice place. But, farming
has gotten very big, it’s very
different,’’ he explained.
After his stay in Canada Mr.
Yoshima and his family planned to
travel to California before their
return to Japan. He said that he
learned much from the first trip to
Canada and has seen and noted the
changes in the industry. “Maybe I
will go home and try again,
bigger.”
