The Rural Voice, 1991-04, Page 7FEEDBACK the topsoil. Usually they can better afford the cost involved than the average farmer. If we continue to force a large sec- tor of our citizens to raise their fami- lies in trailer courts, town -houses, and crowded apartments, we will someday pay dearly for the social results. I hope OFA will consider these things on behalf of members and so- ciety in general, give some leadership in policy changes, and impress on our government that present rules benefit no one except developers and entre- preneurs. Isn't it time for farm organizations and regulatory bodies to stop moraliz- ing us into extinction? Mason Bailey Blyth, Ontario LETTER MISLEADING In the "Feedback" section of the February issue of The Rural Voice a letter from a Rodger Brimacombe from Sundridge is a way off base and could be very misleading to the uneducated reader. As president of the Grey county Federation of Agriculture in 1979 and 1980 and property section chairman of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Grow- ers Association, I was provided with the opportunity to present briefs, meet government officials, and assist in forming what is now called the Occu- piers' Liability Act, 1980 and the Trespass to Property Act, 1980. Section 3 of the Trespass to Pro- perty Act states that if the land is used for agricultural purposes, is fenced, or has planted trees less than 2 metres, then all trespass is prohibited, except access to the door of a building. If Mr. Brimacombe has non-agri- cultural land and it is unfenced, a hun- ter, or for that matter any person could be unaware of the property line. In such a case, it is required to be posted. My concern from this article is that the majority of your readers are from the farm community and may interpret the letter to apply to farm lands, which is not the case.
