32 THE RURAL VOICE
Owen Sound, the unemployment rate
is low). Asked where all the farm
workers of a few years ago have gone,
Wilmer Beckett replies, "I don't
know, but they didn't go into agricul-
ture." There just aren't that many
farm kids staying on the farm anymore
— there is more money elsewhere.
Farmers today must do the work them-
selves or find enough money to pay
employees. Dealing with the worker
shortage, for employment agencies
and farmers, has become a hard task.
The time it takes to place a worker
varies. For a permanent job, back-
ground checks within Canada's human
rights guidelines are made. An appli-
cant who already has a job may have
to give a few weeks' notice. "If the
prospective employee is unemployed
already, it's much quicker, maybe a
couple of days," Beckett says.
AES also has information on
programs related to agriculture. One
such program is the Canadian Rural
Transition Program designed to help
people who, for financial reasons,
must leave farming. The program,
operated by the Canada Employment
Centre, can provide a transition grant,
training assistance, travel and reloca-
tion assistance, job counselling, and a
self-employment grant..
A local advisory group, the Agri-
cultural Employment Board, meets
with the management of AES several
times a year. Made up of representa-
tives from the various farm sectors in
Grey and Bruce counties, the 14 -mem-
ber board reports on respective com-
modities and helps AES keep on top
of the farm scene.
The groups represented on the
board include the Grey and Bruce
County milk committees, cattlemen's
associations, federations of agricul-
ture, OMAF offices, and Canada
Employment Centres as well as the
Bruce County Soil and Crop Associ-
ation, the Grey County Pork Producers
Association, the Southern Georgian
Bay Fruit Growers Association, and a
worker with agricultural experience.
Winter is a busy time for AES
staff, who work one season ahead, and
are now lining up the spring season.
In February and March interviews
with university students take place,
and their jobs begin in April. Staff
members will also be seen at a variety
of agricultural meetings and events.0
