which emerge on a map. At present it isn't
known whether this phenomenon represents
a concentrated effort to require control over
contiguous farms or' simply some kind of
purchasing inertia in, a familiar area.
Foreign buyers tend to be selective and
tend to. acquire high agricultural capability
lands in the form of whole farm units.' While
the percentage of foreign owned land is less
than one per cent in the coun ty as a whole, it
increases to 3.4 'per cent if only Ashfield
Township is considered. In Howick'Town-
ship,.2.5 per cent Of the land is foreign
owned.
In phase two of the study which will be
carried out this summer by interviewing the
tenants who are leasing the foreign owned -
county, several questions will be answered.
The study will try to deterthine how the
non-resident owned land is operated, if there
are appropriate measures, taken to properly
manage and conserve the land base and
improve the farni as a whole, when it owned
by non-residents; what is the nature-of the
tenure/lease arrangement for each absentee
owned parcel of land and the buAdings on
that land, and, what are the specific

Foreign absentee ownership of land in
Huron County is running at leis thin one per
cent according to a recent study completed
by the University of Guelph's Rural
Development Outreach Project. This is
similar to the findings of a Ministry of
Agricultural- and Food survey which found
foreign ownership in the province to be less
than one per cent.
The Guelph study however shows that the
lands owned by non-local Ontario landown-
ers is four times as great as, that owned, by
foreign absentee owners. According to
Professor Julius Mage and Professor George
Brinkman who completed the Guelph study;
this type of land ownership can create the
same 'impact as a foreign absentee, land-
owner -and should be-included-in-any further non-local Ontario owned- land in- the --
study of absentee ownership in the county.
Mage and Brinkman presented the, results
of the study at last week's Huron Federation
of 'Agriculture meeting held at Brookside
Public School on Thursday night. They also
outlined phase two of the study which will be
completed this summer.
One area of potential concern outlined in
the study is that foreign owned land tends to
be clustered in noticeable blocks of land
