2 THE RURAL VOICE
EDITOR'S DESK
January forecasts are common, but
we hope we've gone a little further
than is usual to provide a sampling of
opinion from various perspectives in
agricultural business and rural life. It's
a tough question, "What challenges are
ahead in 1987, and how should we
meet them?" but by our main feature
this month you'll see that people with
agricultural concerns, while painfully
and accurately far from crying 'Brave
New World!" are generally persistent,
realistic — and though you may not
always agree with them — judicious.
At any rate, farmers, / think, owe their
"activists" (direct and indirect) a vote
of thanks: if solutions won't be found
by February, you can be sure that the
search is more incisive than it's ever
been (though no less difficult!).
In our second feature this month,
John Redmond talks to "the other half'
in the farmer and banker relationship.
/t seems that there might be room for
conciliation in what has in some cases
been a stormy relationship — of
course the Debt Review Boards will
go a long way towards defining how
much room.
From looking forward we shift to
take a look back. William Saunders
might be called the father of
agricultural research in Canada. As
McLure's Magazine noted, "Here is a
man who has done more for Canada
than all the politicians."
And along with our regular roster
of news, advice, commodity reporting,
rural living, and rural heritage, there
are some words of caution from Dr.
Gerhard Lang, who discusses the
problem of Q fever in Ontario's dairy
herds.
Wishing you the best in '87,
