GILMORE ELECTED
ORFEDA PRESIDENT
Ray Gilmore, the recently elected
president of the Ontario Retail Farm
Equipment Dealer's Association, looks
forward to a good year for both mach-
inery dealers and their organization.
Wearing his dealer's hat, he says the
prospects for sales of new equipment
this year are "pretty decent" and that the
market for used equipment is strong,
although there's not very much good
used equipment around.
Numbers across the board for
January indicated a decline from last
year, he adds, but higher prices for cash
croppers bode well for retail machinery
dealers, despite higher interest rates.
Wearing his president's hat, he says
ORFEDA will be carrying through on a
number of projects from last year.
ORFEDA will be helping to set up
the detailed regulations involved in Bill
78, the Farm Implements Act passed by
the provincial legislation in December,
1988. And from the organization's new
headquarters in Aurora, work will be
done on improving the Outdoor Power
Equipment Division.
Gilmore is also a director on the
board of the Ontario Farm Equipment
Manufacturer's Association. His
company, Soil Mate Equipment Ltd. in
Harriston, builds automatic release
stone doors for combines. Gilmore also
carries the Massey -Ferguson line.0
