The Rural Voice, 2001-02, Page 5Cover
Somewhere down there under all that snow, the
earth is waiting for the warmth of spring and
another growing season. Farmers are waiting
too, though with some trepidation given the
prices of this year. Crop consultant Mervyn Erb
looks ahead at the coming season, saying farm-
ers are under
siege. He gives
some tips on how
to make the best
of a bad situation.
Meanwhile, Hens -
all Co-op's Marty
Huzevka thinks
identity preserved
crops are the
answer for
Ontario growers.

Where has the time gone? That must be the feeling for
farmers like Jack and June Falls who farmed for 51 years near
Rocklyn, in Grey County. The couple, (above receiving their
Agricultural Heritage Award) tell their story of a farming life
that, for today's young farmer, seems almost as foreign as the
tales of the pioneers. Page 23
