4 THE RURAL VOICE
EDITOR'S DESK
The agricultura community ' s
always been blessed with excellent
farm leaders. One of those leaders
was Barnie Evans, whose column
appeared regularly in The Rural
Voice. Barnie recently died of cancer.
His accomplishments are legion, and
this month, where his column used to
appear, the Hon. Eugene Whelan
expresses for many of us how deeply
Barnie will be missed.
Gord Wainman also knew Barnie
Evans, and recognized his contribution
to agriculture. Gord, an urban -based
agricultural reporter, writes his first
Rural Voice column this month. He
delivers some harsh conclusions about
the agricultural situation, but they are
comments born of the same kind of
concern paramount to Barnie Evans.
In our features this month, Iris
Brown surveys farm real estate and
related issues—foreign ownership
and land rental — in the counties of
Huron, Perth, Grey, and Bruce. Eloise
Calhoun talks to the Irvines of Shake-
speare, who are well-known for their
purebred Galloway cattle. And
Adrian Vos provides some back-
ground on the free trade talks, which
at press time were in limbo. We' ve
also captured some of the people and
events at the International Plowing
Match. The match, as Cathy Laird
writes in our Notebook department, is
not only a positive reminder of how
much farmers have achieved, but of
how much farmers have to appreciate.
As Eugene Whelan notes, achieve-
ments require a fighting spirit. They
also require a concerted, constructive
effort on the part of individuals and
groups. As Whelan also says, "It is
too bad there are not more Barnie
Evans' ."0
