2 THE RVR.AI VOIC'F
EDITOR'S DESK
Change and adjustment do not
come easy. Farmers know when
their farming operations aren't
working anymore, but it's hard to
accept. Alice Gibb, at our editorial
board meeting, suggested a series of
stories about farmers facing finan-
cial crisis in their lives — losing the
farm, getting out of farming, seek-
ing alternate employment, or mak-
ing a change in their farm opera-
tion. The result is Shifting Gears,
our lead story this month.
We like Andrew Dixon's stories
of past times and from your
response, you do too. The articles
we have been presenting in the
magazine these past months were
originally written as a private ac-
count of agriculture as Dixon
remembered it, to be handed down
to his descendants. This issue, he
reminisces about "entertainment" in
the farming community — the im-
portance of the church and school,
picnics, concerts, and fowl suppers.
This issue introduces two writers
for The Rural Voice. Michelle
Timko, a lecturer in the Business
Management Divisior at Centralia
College of Agricultural Technology,
reports on the revitalized use of
forage legumes as a plowdown crop,
based on trials by Bob Forrest, crop
researcher at the college. Gertie
Blake, an Ayton -area farmer known
for her co -authorship of a paper en-
titled "Putting the Profit back into
Agriculture," has expanded her ac-
tivities to include reporting and
feature writing.
