2 THE RURAL VOICE
EDITOR'S DESK
Agriculture is a challenging
business for all farmers, whether
you're dealing with policy, trying to
make a living off a beef feedlot, or
you're a farm woman coping with a
heavy work load.
The features in this month's
issue reflect that challenge. Take the
concept of "pluriactivity," a broader
term for part-time farming. Tony
Fuller, a professor at the University
of Guelph's School of Rural Planning
and Development, explains the term
and its wide-ranging implications. At
a time of shifts in agricultural policy,
pluriactivity just might be an influen-
tial concept in government circles.
In other features, writer Gisele
Ireland talks to farm women about
changes in their lives and how they
coped with them, Bob Reid talks to
both sides after the beef marketing
vote, and Ian Wylie-Toal takes a
second look at the news story about
the high incidence of leukemia in
Bruce County. Leukemia might not
seem a relevant subject in a farm
magazine, but it's certainly relevant to
farm families living near the BNPD.
To get back to the land, leaving
crop residues is a solid method of
protecting soil from erosion, but can
cause some difficulties. Mervyn Erb,
an independent crop consultant, looks
at ways to counteract those problems.
One of the biggest challenges
of all is farming safely. Farm Safety
Week is July 25 to 31 and serves as a
reminder to farmers and their families
that safety procedures must be prac-
tised all year round — do take care.0
