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.
