The Lucknow Sentinel, 1993-03-17, Page 23EARR14 Ashfield woman would li e to establish Huron County chapter of OFWN by Pat Livingston As a member of the Ontario Farm Women's Network (OFWN), one of Jayne Brady-Miltenburg's goals is to establish a Huron County chap- ter. Jayne is one of several farm women profiled in Let Us Introduce Ourselvess�,, a directory of Ontario farm woillen, released by the OFWN. in October 1992. These women indicated. they wanted to play a role in the agricultural indus- try., and "to participate in the deci- sions that are made; decisions that will have an impact on their indus- try, their communities 'and their families." The book is referred to as "a complete 'guide to finding speakers, panel members, workshop facilitators, writers, committee members, policy makers and more. Born and raised on a dairy farm in the Dorchester area, Jayne found that when she worked at the Guelph General Hospital she had a need to maintain her farm community con- nection. She first became a member of the Wellington Women for Sup- port of Agriculture. In 1988 all smaller or local farm women's groups came together under • the umbrella of OFWN. The incentive for such a founding was the need to link the smaller groups together to share information and resources. Jayne and her husband, Ben, operate a family farm, in Ashfield Township, Huron County. Their focus is primarily dairy, with veal, andcorn, mixed grain, and hay crops as secondary. Jayne graduated ,from Centralia College in 1981 as a food service supervisor which gives her exten- sive dietary and food services experience. She worked at the Guelph Hospital for, 10. years. • She is highly skilled in producing newsletters, Currently Jayne is the newsletter editor for OFWN, with approximately 320 members. In the past she was editor for the Welling- ton WSA, the Guelph Field Natural- ists Club, and co-editor of the Guelph General Hospital's newslet- ,,. In her spare time, she enj»ys-" birding, x -country skiingr gardety and reading. She claifns tui amateur's interest in pho, ography, but Ben maintains the lengths she goes to4.obtain certain pictures exhibits more than an amateur interest. •turn to tae 8 Farm Progress '93 -Page 7 Sales & Service of •Pioneer.Chainsaws C�i1 I. -Weed Trimmers • RAY ULLH WELDING• Dun.nnon 529-7647 -Outboards -Generators •Lawnmower ...we specialize in trucks!
