literally the tip of the iceberg. The
farm community should be leading
the political battle to move this item
higher up on the agenda of
governments. To do less is to leave
our children in a country where our
knowledge exceeds our wisdom.
The world we live in is not the
world we ant, or want for our
offspring. It is, if we don't move to
change it, one where as the quote
says "A planet where we are razing
our forests, grinding down our
mountains, siphoning off our rivers,
paving over our plains, modifying
our climate, polluting our air and
tainting our blood."0
Robert Mercer was editor of the
Broadwater Market Letter and a farm
commentator in Ontario for 25 years.
