few warnings as well„.
One of those warnings centered around
future cutbacks at OMAF, so uch so
that it could be scaled down and. paired.
with other rural, ministries such as natural
resources.
" It would not surprise me to see
OMAFRA get small enough that it could be
rolled into something else," he said.
What if it were rolled into environment,.
natural resources or industry—would one
of those be. better than the other?, .he contin-
ued, notingthat; it certainly . y ' is something to
• think about, and something the 3,500 -mem-
ber Christian Fanners Federation of Ontario
(CF.EO) is saying should be thought about
before it arbitrarily is handed down:
Other farm organizations, such as the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA)
for one example, should begin to consider
how they could pick up some of the respon-
s bilities. cif OMAFRA if further cuts were
handed down in this day and age,.

salt is today's farmers that will lead this
province back to prosperity.'.
That approach is, perhaps •"noble," Daily
;states, abut it is doomed to failure.
He said OFA`is..taking this approach
while the CFFO is -conducting 20 work-
shops around the region asking for input
where and how to cut from °MAFItA,
Perth farmers were willingto .cut more
a
than $120 million, from MARIAN budget
during their recentworkshop in. Stratford,,
including percentages from the farm tax
rebate,, GRIP and crop insurance programs
as just three_examples
"Here's one group coming up with con-
structive"—if tructive-if yyou .can use the word con,
structive—suggestions on how actually to
maintain those budget cuts and here's
another one saying `don't you darecut that
budget,"' Daily said.
He added d that ; some sort of back-up plan
should be implemented if either of these
approaches don't work, yet the OFA is not
even prepared to think about a. back-up
because they're sure this lobby effort will
work.
"Does.. the existence 'of the Christian,
• Farmers .Federation workshops telegraph;, to
the provincial government that don't even
bother to listen to the OFA?'", he asked the
audience, which numbered approximately
225 people. "And probably the answer's•,
yes.
"It's an interesting question, and it's a
little 'counter-productive because one
undermines the other."
