Lueknow Sentinel, Wednesday, November 17..1993 - Page 19 OMAF structural changes A lot .of people are aware of the financial situations that are being. faced by all levels of government. With the economic realities and the changes that are occurring in the Agriculture and Food industry, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) has implemented some structural changes to better accomplish its strategic direction and most importantly, provide improved service to the public. Most people are familiar with the former branches in OMAF, such as the Agricultural Representatives, Animal Industry, and Rural Or- ganizations & Services. These branches are now focused under one division entitled the Agricul- tural and Rural Division. All field employees retained their previous titles and all report to a Field Ser- vices Manager (sixteen across the province). In response to the reorganization, administration changes will allow better communication among field offices, allows more continuity, time and flexibility arnongst the staff in county offices to attend to the needs of the local community and farmers. As pant of these changes, the creation of a new division entitled Rural Development Secretariat will provide a stronger focus on en- couraging rural communities to. build a more stable future for them- selves. New job opportunities have come from small businesses. This new division will provide expertise to przoducers with innovative ideas by helping them to develop marketing and financial plans when starting a new business. The Agricultural and Rural Division's three main priorities are to foster the following: Competitive Agriculture "Focus on Costs" is a . theme • to describe competitive agriculture. New technology from researchers, educators, extension workers, agribusinesses, and innovators will be promoted to help clients lower costs. OMAF staff will be the front line in program delivery to enhance FBruce County OMAF - ARM REPORT financial stability in the agricultural' sector. A whole farm business approach needs to be included in extension activities. For example - a savings of one cent per pound of feed would generate dairy producers in Ontario an additional 5.5 million dollars. Environmental Sustanaibility Farm land is a resource that needs to be used responsibly for food production and preserved for future generations. Producers need to address the environmental impact of their current practises as part of their whole fann business. Farm families will be able to complete environmental farm plans in January 1994 with funding from the Federal Green Plan dollars . for agriculture. Land use planning and develop- ment of environmental technology factSheets such as the Best Management Practices series are other services provided by OMAF staff. • Rural Community Development As stated before, jobs and rural community sustainability are created in rural Ontario. An area contact team (ACT) leader is available for each field region to coordinate different Ontario ministries and help develop educational programs, resources and business planning so that com- munities can develop their own economic renewal opportunities. An example of several ministries working together to -deliver a program is JobsOntario community ' Action. The Ontario - government wants to encourage projects that involve the decision of the entire community. An incentive of $300 million over three years is available, as long as employment is generated as a result of the project. As OMAF is one of the partners in this project, contact your local office for more details. Annual farm conference has new name, new look The agricultural conference formerly known as Farmers Week has a new name and a totally new approach. Now known as the South- west Agricultural Conference, the week has been re -designed from the ground up with the help of farmers and agribusiness from across the region. This year's conference is scheduled for Jana 6 to 8. In the past, farmers picked the days that interested them, such as Corn Day or Soil Management Day, and then listened to all the speakers on the agenda. The new version will be much more flexible rd also -more- 'hands- on'. lso more -'hands- on'. It's geared to letting small groups of. farmers get their ques- tions answered by experts in over 40 different sessions, says Don Taylor, director of the college and spbkesperson for the conference. Topics range from no -till machinery to the latest on soybean cyst nematodes, spray additives, and much more, including everything from fertilizer placement and cash crop hay to retirement planning. The aim iS to let fanners design their own days, so they can pick the topics that will be the most helpful when the get back home Taylor says. The cost until Dec. 17 is $25 per person per day. There is a late registration cost Price includes the information sessions and—workshops, _refresh- ments and hot lunch, a registration kit and copy of the proceedings. Registration packages and complete agendas are available through OMAF county offices and local agricultural suppliers. Search out local sources. .before making trips The special fall event of the Bruce and Grey Branch of The Ontario Genealogical Society was held recentlywith the morning speaker, Gerald Merrick, speaking on Irish Research. He remolded us that we need to network with relatives and search out the local sources first before ever heading off to Ireland. It is important to understand that the Gaelic alphabet contained only 18 letters so we have to look for various com- binations of letters to spell many of the names we are searching. Professor Terry Crowley, from the University of Guelph, spoke in the afternoon about the Home Children. As many as 80,000 came to Canada, mainly from England and Scotland, between 1868 - 1925. These children were sent to Canada largely to escape the poverty which existed in Great Britain, to be raised primarily on the farms here in Canada. They helped fill the need of additional labor on the farms as the nuclear family was not as large as the previous generation. The Bernardo Home was the largest such organization to bring children to Canada and they have excellent records of their children.
