owns and operates a hatchery in Port
Hope, Curtis Chicks. 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
