recently told Huron County Federation
of :Agriculture members that the :govern-
ments must work with farm groups so
that this country might have a sound
agricultural future.
"To set the agricniture policy for the
future the federal government will be
-working with the provincial ministries
of agriculture and the faun .groups; in
this way we will be able to make a
sound long term ,agricultural policy for
the year .2000 and beyond."
Those were Mr. Cardiff's opening
remarks in a speech given to those pre-
sent at the Huron County Federation of
A ricn1tnre meetF- 16w." to Clinton.
Mr. Cardiff was gay weaker at the
meeting.
He went on to say 95 per cent of his
work as ,parliamentary secretary, to the
deputy prime minister (Don
Mazankawski.), is with the Department
of Agriculture.
"As the deputy prime minister is .also
the minister of agriculture, he has the
capability of controlling the agenda and
getting things done," he said.
Following 'Mr. Cardiff's remarks, time
was given to questions.
A federation member wondered if the
39 centincrease per hectolitre in in-
dustrial .milk would effect the current
cap.
Mr. Cardiff replied that the increase
allowed the ;government to stay 'within
the political agreement.

price would have dropped seven cents,"
be :added.
A :question was raised regarding the
faun crop insurance program. A
member wished to know why the
government expected farmers to join
the program when they (the govern-
ment) are currently trying to decrease
their financial involvement in it
(farmers pay 50 per cent, provincial
and federal governments 25 per cent
each) .
In response, Mr. Cardiff replied,
"Farmers say they want better pro-
grams not less cost. The percentage
might be different but the dollars are
primarily the same. Farmers have told
me that they don't want to ;buy into a
program that is not responsive to their
needs no matter what the cost."
He then suggested that the farmers
and the government work out the plan
they want together and then figure out
the cost.
A member of the audience asked the
MP what he had meant by sustainable
agriculture, a phrase he had repeatedly
used in ,earlier discussion.
"Sustainable agriculture is the whole
package - soil and water conservation,
and healthy food products - we must
take care of the cvironment to have a
future. I hope it means that we shall do
something about it instead ofjust
delivering lip service," .stated Mr.
Cardiff.

land that makes up the abandoned rail
line from Guelph to Goderich be return-
ed to adjacent landowners was read. J
The letter suggested that the land's
use be determined by the rural lan-
downer, whether it be agriculture
reclamation or reforestation.
It was brought to the members' atten-
tion that as the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) has a policy suppor-
ting such a move, the Huron County
members are in effect already endors-
ing it.
Despite this fact the members voted
to submit the letter so as to help
strengthen support.
A second resolution was brought to
the floor, concerning zonal changes on
lands abutting farm properties.
member informed the federation
that currently if a neighboring piece of
land is rezoned for the placement of a
trailer park etc., surrounding farmers
must give up a portion of their property
as a buffer zone.
"We are farmers living in a farming
area and we should have preference,"
claimed the member.
Following some discussion regarding
the resolution's wording, it was rewrit-
ten,
ewritten, and accepted. It was then referred
to the Huron County Federation of
Agriculture's Property Committee.
The new resolution stated 'that no zon-
ing be changed, if it effects the zoning
of land for rezoning purposes, unless it
has the support of all landowners
involved.
