The Rural Voice, 1997-01, Page 5Cover As the winter snows deepen and the season slows down, farmers have more time to concentrate on farm management. It's a time for meetings and seminars and reading. The new year offers an excellent opportunity to look around and see what on your farm needs to be changed. Our Profit$ section, this month, looks at management issues, from wills, to guarding against increas- ed feed costs, to record keeping.

For some people, however, the changes are more than in the calender. In 1996, Tony and Joanne Los changed countries, moving from Holland to Canada. They also built a new dairy operation from scratch, erecting a new free stall barn, milking parlour, commodity shed and bunker silo, all on a scale that brought hundreds of dairy farmers to take a look during a November open house.
