They drew a line between the two and the centre point was Milton. Despite the drive, the closeness to the major centres and its amenities and entertainments was a positive step for McKinley. She's always been very career - oriented. She compares her life-style with her sister, Karen Ratcliffe of Zurich who put her family first. Karen and her husband Dale live on the family farms. After raising her four children, Karen helps out in the barns, does office work, and serves on the Farm Products Marketing Appeals Tribunal. Cathy McKinley has achieved recognition for her efforts in the poultry industry. The hatchery and business aspect of her life had been a priority. And now, she also has a fulfilling private life. Cathy's family of three college-age children came with her marriage. How her business will fare in the years ahead is something McKinley seriously considers. (She has many files full of trade information.) Whether a small country needs, or should receive, protection for its products against a flood of cheaper, similar products from across the line was difficult to answer. When asked how she viewed the farming industry in the year 2000, she mentioned the prospects continually change. With the new proposed U.S. Farm Bill, there could be radical change with $8 billion in subsidies cut over the period from 1996 to 2000. If these cuts take place, farmers will find different forces affecting their effort to maintain production. With Europeans wanting to get a better percentage (20%) than they get now, and the prospects of opening up the ECC to all European countries, she feels the tendency might be away from a production -oriented farming system of support and more toward a welfare -style. Whatever happens, Cathy McKinley keeps the farmers posted. With the negotiations, the trade factors for farmers will change yet again. McKinley feels that with her motto of price, service and high quality for the customer that her hatchery will still be in business by the year 2000.0
