OMAF film wins Merit Award
On August 4, 1983 the Soil Con-
servation Society of America cited 10
groups as recipients of the Society's
1983 Merit Award for sound conser-
vation programs.
One of the groups recognized by
Society President Chris J. Johannsen
of Columbia, Missouri, was the On-
tario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, Toronto, Ontario. The award
was announced by Johannsen at a
banquet concluding the Society's 38th
annual meeting held in Hartford,
Connecticut.
The Merit Award is given by the
Society to organizations or business
firms for activities that advance the
science and art of good land use.
The Ontario Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food was cited for
development and production of the
film "Land -Our Last Resource ".
The 21 -minute, full -colour film traces
the history of farming practices in
Ontario and outlines techniques used
by landowners to protect their soil
resources. The film creates an aware-
ness among viewers of the need to
conserve soil resources. It is one of
the few recent North American films
on soil conservation and is a first for
the Province of Ontario and for
Canada.
The film is directed at both rural
and urban audiences,as well as
elementary, secondary, and universi-
ty students. It is particularly ap-
propriate for service clubs and agri-
cultural organizations. While filmed
in Ontario, the film's message is ap-
propriate for other regions of
Canada, especially from Ontario
eastward, and to all areas of North
America where wind and water ero-
sion are of concern. EJ
