At the same time, June is dairy month and we feature that industry as well. Phyllis Coulter talked to some of the pork farmers who entered into the Pork Congress Innova- tions Contest. They have a varie- ty of good ideas to save time and money which may make you take a second look at your own opera- tion. The Robertsons — Bob, Edith, and their son, Ian, are constantly assessing their situation, and are willing to change or re -direct their efforts to keep on top of their farming operation. Mary -Lou Weiser -Hamilton interviewed them at Roblea Farms, their dairy operation near Tara. "Must be nice" to have w go to Bermuda twice a year — like Bill Binder. Binder, and his son, Ed, Tri County Dairy Supplies, St. Marys, recently installed a pipeline system at one of the largest dairy farms in Bermuda. The Binders must return to ser- vice the equipment regularly. We have a story on the world's longest milk run — getting fresh milk to the people in Darwin, Australia from across that vast continent — there's a look at the fresh faces of Centralia graduates — and a story on Peter McAr- thur, the Sage of Ekfrid, a witty farm writer for the Toronto Globe in the early 1900s who said things such as "after the chores were done, I took a pail that was as empty as a political platform and she (the calf) followed ane right back to the pen, just like an intelligent voter. " If that piques your curiosity, you'll find the rest on page 36. Back to chores...
