County Federation of Agriculture NEWSLETTER • The Rural Voice is provided to farmers
in Perth County by the PCFA.
Rebuild, restore, reinvest ... secure the future of agriculture
A united coalition of 37 Ontario
farm groups, "The Famers of
Ontario," are calling on the
provincial government to rebuild and
restore the agricultural budget to its
deserved stature. The best way to do
this is for the government to reinvest
in the industry and the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs (OMAFRA).
As farmers, we arc continually
reinvesting in our business. We are
now calling on the government to do
the same in the agriculture industry.
We need every farmer to get in
touch with their local MPP and
express your concerns. Let them
know that we urge the government of
