Tale of farm troubles told Jan. 29 AUBURN&DISTRICT On January 29 at 7:30 p.m., TV-London will air a program which examines the plight of Canadian farmers. The one-hour special, “Season To Season: A Farmer’s Story’’ profiles Ilderton, Ontario area farmer John Walls and his wife Mary, son Greg, and daughters Ellen and Joanne.

Guests for the program include Federal Minister of Agri­ culture, John Wise, Ontario Agri­ culture Minister Jack Riddell, farmer John Walls and Brian Farlinger of the Canadian Bank­ ers’ Association. The program explores John Walls’ present situation in relation to previous years on the farrh. A year in the making, “Season To Season: A Farmer’s Story” was edited from footage of more than three dozen on-location shoots by TV-London camera crews. Cam­ eraman Richard Johnstone is with John and his family as the chores are done, the books prepared, the crops planted and harvested. The camera follows him to buy seed and is there when a load of his cattle go Entertainment Librarian salutes passing to market. The camera is at the gate when a new load of calves arrive and is on-location when the fall fair rolls into town and Greg wins a calf scramble in a mud-bowl corral. The camera also witnesses a poignant scene as John and his family help a neighbor load his belongings onto a truck for the move into town - the neighbor’s farm has been repossessed by the bank. John feels it could never happen to him. Thd two specials, “Season To Season: A Farmer’s Story” and The Ministers Respond illustrate not only plummeting grain prices on world markets but a way of life in jeopardy.
