16 THE RURAL VOICE
Young Farmers' Institute in India. In
1956, Huron County Junior Farmers
led a war on rats which, it was
estimated, ate their way through
$1,000 a year on the average farm.
But times change and so do the
interests of young people. Nairn
points out that from the 1940s to the
1960s getting a Junior Farmers travel
scholarship was one of the only ways
young people would expect to see the
world. Today young people travel
even without the scholarships.
The government, which had seen
the movement as so important in the
early years, also changed its
priorities.
Nairn was provincial president
in 1991 when OMAF
announced it was refocusing
resources and staffing. What
surprises him when he looks back,
Nairn says, was not that they cut
funding to the program but that they
cut staff support to the provincial
organization. The province had
provided a secretary treasurer and a
leadership and organizational co-
ordinator. Losing staff threw the
responsibility for running the
association onto the young leaders.
"When you're 20 or 30 years old
and in college or university or you're
starting a career, it's difficult to take
that kind of responsibility," he says.
And those who did work at the
provincial level to keep the
association going probably didn't
have time to devote at their county
level where their efforts were also
needed.
There are only 650 Junior Farmers
left in the province now, says Ball.
Some counties are healthier than
others. Perth still has several clubs
but Huron is down to one that shares
members with Perth.
Still, Nairn says hopefully, "I
think it has stabilized." There are
always been ebbs and flows in
organizations and there are the
opportunity for counties like Huron
to rebuild their organizations.
Given the role Junior Farmers has
played in shaping the leadership of
agriculture and rural communities in
the past, and its proud mission "To
build future rural leaders through
self-help and community betterment"
one wonders where the future leaders
will come from if the organization
doesn't recover.0
