Grey Federation
does not approve route 3
The Grey County Federation of
Agriculture page in the April issue states
in huge headlines Grey supports Route 3.
This is misleading and I want our
members to know that the Grey County
Federation of Agriculture DOES NOT
support Route 3. We have had re-
presentatives at the hydro meetings from
the very first meeting with instructions to
keep that hydro line out of Grey County.
The Department of Agriculture seems
to support Route 3. Other counties support
Route 3 because they think Grey county is
all trees and rocks anyway.
We in Grey County make our living off
this land and we do have good land
between the trees and rocks. Those trees
are a crop, too, and a hydro line taking a
wide swath through a bush would
certainly curtail any future profit.

Covers farming and people
1 receive "Rural Voice" courtesy of
subscriber Del Schneider. 1 do appreciate
reading it, and I equally appreciate its
content.
It does cover quite well the activity in
the agricultural community of your county
and the surrounding areas. not only the
farming aspects of financing, producing
and marketing beef, pork, lamb, grain,
vegetable and fruit crops etc., but also the
people aspects of home making, cooking,
education, health. recreation and
problems with big government and other
pests.
And there is a generous amount of
advertising of available farm equipment,
supplies and services.
Adrian Vos appears to be a prolific.
though sometimes controversial, editorial
contributor.
Gisele Ireland has a nice touch; I like her
February, 1982 article "Keep the Home
Fires Burning."
Bev. Brown's recipes look pretty good
too. You could compile them into a
community cook book at some future time.
So you see I enjoy reading the "Rural
Voice."
Best wishes for your continued success.

If you are driving along Highway 86 just west of Wingham and you see a couple of
Hampshire pigs looking like they are about to cross the road, don't hit your brakes.
These life -like pigs stand on either side of Carl Martin's laneway and we're sure there
are times when Carl looks out his front window and wonders if some of his pigs have
escaped from the barn. We know of one hog farmer who was fooled by the statues and
stopped his car to help herd the pigs back up the laneway. (Photo by Brown)
