FEATURES
8 SHIFTING GEARS: in a series of four features, The Rural Voice
looks at farmers who have been forced to abandon or adapt their far-
ming operations in a time of financial crisis.
20 REMEMBERING LEISURE TIME: Andrew Dixon, with humour,
nostalgia, and a generous measure of wisdom, brings back the strong
and simple pleasures of the past.
24 REVITALIZING AN OLD PRACTICE: research trials at Centralia
evaluate forage legumes as a plowdown crop.
26 SWITCHING TO FISH FARMING: A Bruce County farmer em-
barks on a new enterprise.
28 THE SHEEP INDUSTRY IN TRANSITION: Part I — troubles with
the R.O.P. program; Part 11 — the Ontario Sheep Marketing Agency.
30 THE NOZZLE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE: Mervyn Erb discusses
spray application.
