,-:Severancs..,“:qwern Huron federation
• BY CAROL FINCH • Mr. Henderson sums up our concerns, said
Mr. Gumby.
• Huron County Federation of Agriculture
• has expressed alarm and concern over recent
statements made by the Honorable Lorne
Henderson, Ontario Minister of Agriculture
and Food. Mr. Hencjerson has recently
stated that "'a farmer should be allowed a lot
• on which to retire or to help get his children
started on the farm.- ,
Merle Gunby, President of the Huron
Federation of Agriculture noted.. .
"These statements appear to, cup. counter
to Government policies as outlined. M .the
Food Land Guidelines publication;- Which
states.... ••
"If •a farmer who has been farming a
substantial number •of years and who is
retiring from active working life needs to
sever one lot on which to build a house in
-.--. Which he intends to retire -because the lot
may subsequently be takenover by • Others
and create problems for adjacent farm
oPerations, the farmer should be encouraged
to consider retirement in a nearby village or
• town.", Alternately, if a farmerwishes to
retire to a relocateable house on his farm, he
should, be permitted to do so. •
"If a residential lot is required to provide
accommodation for full-time farm help - this ,
may be for hired help or family members
(son or daughter) whose working activity is
.• primarily devoted to the farmoperation and
where the nature of the farm operation
requires this help to be accommodated close
to the farM. This accoMmedatiott,Shonld,be
provided as part of the farm unit rather than
° 04 a separate lot. The accommodation could
be a conventional dwelling or a • mobile
borne."

Since statistically so-called retirement
• homes,are used for their original purpose for
less than five years, the Directors of HCFA
• would like to know what proposals you would
'bring forward to prOtect the Agricultural '
'industry from- these non-farm interests?
",We would suggest that permitting
residential severances in an agricultural area
is a very shortsighted policy • that has
• historically caused harrassnient of, farmers
and created pressures for further develop -
pent causing serious social and economic
disruptions in our agrkultural oriented cornr
munities. •
We would hope. that as Minister of•
'Agriculture, that you consider the implica-
tions of your proposals on the efforts of
communities which are trying to plan
meaningfully for our agricultural industry in
• Ontario.'
