Association of Young Farmers, an
organization she says is similar to the 4H

Her trip was largely subsidized by this
association. Donations to fund the trip

Love, Mel and Reina, Karen
and Don, and grandchildren
told us. "It has been a great experience."
Tom, who spent last week visiting in
Lampton County, hails from Boghall
Farm, Biggar, in Strathclyde. His family
operates a dairy and sheep farm in
Scotland. They milk about 75 head and he
says he was surprised to see that Canadian
dairy operations are even small than that.
"Most of the dairy farms I've seen here
are milking about 40 head," Tom said this
week. `I had expected them to be much
bigger than that."
He adds that he has had "a terrific time"
and that these exchange programs are
"something else" and well worth the time
and effort.
Both the Scottish visitors are in good
hands while in the area. Audrey Ritchie is
the president of the West Huron Junior
Farmers while Paul Pentland acts as
director of that group.
The Junior Farmers in the area have
participated in this International Ex-
change Program for a number of years
and finds that it is a valuable experience
for•all involved.
Both Torn and Mary will be expected to
share their thoughts on the exchange to
various farm organizations when they
return home late next month.
