Mr. Ireland said the Canadian farm press had been less than honest with farmers over the years. “I’ve been fed tMs efficiency nonsense until I’m fed right up with it,’’ he said. Every time farmers get that much more efficient they force more people out of the business, he said in remarks following his presentation on the work of his Ministry. Farmers have forgotten about marketing in their concentration on improving efficiency and they should look around at how other groups in society operate. He pointed to trucking as an industry that could teach farmers some­ thing about working together for a cause. He had heard via the grapevine that truckers will tie up major highways to get their point across about their anger over new legislation enforcing shorter driv­ ing hours for drivers. Farmers are too worried about their image, he said. “What image? ’ ’ “The half-wit on Hee- Haw? Is that what we’re trying to protect?’’ He pointed to the efforts doctors had made in getting on the picket line to fight government policy over medicare and they were only trying to get more money, he said. “We’re trying to save a way of life that is part of the fabric of this country.’’ Farmers are always finding excuses not to become involved, he said. Truckers on the other hand have been told they are expected to take part in any protests. “If we’re interested in saving what we really cherish then at some point we’re going to have to stand up and work together, ’ ’ he said. People say farming must be treated as a business, he said, but it’s a pretty poor business and no real businessman would invest money for the marginal returns a farmer gets for his investment. Consumers want to hope and pray that farmers never begin to take it seriously as a business, he said. Farmers fooled themselves in the 1970’s when they thought they were doing well, he said. As a financial counsellor to farmers he has come to realize that most farms are in debt about the same amount as it cost to live over the years. The farm carried itself but it couldn’t support the farm family and families supported themselves through their operating loans. Families have to work off the farm to support themselves which was the reason there were so few women present at the meeting, he said looking around the hall. Several years ago he had been at the same Federation’s meeting and there had been many women present but now most farm wives have to work. He said the thing that bothers him most about the farming community is that its greatest strength, its independence, is also its greatest weakness in dealing with the problems of today. He outlined for the meeting the work of the Queen’s Bush Rural Ministry in helping rural families cope with the problems of today. He and Brenda Mason of Belgrave operate the agency which was set upwiththeUnitedChurchasits first major source of funds but has a board of directors representing various denominations.
