14 Spare the children
Between 1990 and 1998, 176
children under the age of 19
died in farm accidents in
Canada and thousands more
were injured. Luckily, many of
these accidents are
preventable.
20 Sweet history
Maple syrup was a spring
ritual before white settlers
ever found the hardwood
forests of Ontario. Saugeen
Valley Conservation Authority
shows children and adults the
evolution of the craft.
24 Designed to please
The consumer -driven
revolution in pork production
continues and researchers
are looking into everything
from how to make pork more
tender to how to give it new
flavours.
30 Talking trees
Farmers work hard to get a
few extra bushels from their
corn but generally ignore the
substantial wealth in their
woodlot. Woodlot assoc-
iations allow landowners to
learn more about their bush.
