arMencourages lobbying
• With the possibility of a federal election.
looming On the horizon, retiring OFA
president Ralph 'Barrie is urging local
federation ' inenibers to.apply pressure to
their .member of parliament.
The Lanark County beef farmer has been
covering the province in the past week
spreading the samemessage to the 25,000
plus Ontario Federation of Agriculture
members. Barrie spoke to Huron federation
members on February 2 in Clinton.
The current political situation - the federal,
Conservatives leading in the opinion polls
and an election in the offing - make an ideal
time for federation members to actively
lobby said Bathe.
The provincial organization has, through
research, prepared briefs, which Barrie said
are available for use by the local federations.
Three particular. issues he emphasized.
were capital gains, changes in the Income
Tax Act and' Major improvements, to dr
Farm Credit Corporation.
Bathe defended the provincial organiza-
tion against criticism that it isn't aggressive
enough in its . lobbying strategy. The
suggestion . that farmers withhold their
products for a day is not favored by the
retiring president.
Correction
A picture in last week's issue of The
Sentinel identified the trophy winner for the
Lucknow 4-H dairy club. as Murray Ward
when in fact the winner was Murray de Boer.
The Sentinel apologizes for any inconven-
ience the' error may have caused.
"We don't have the clout 'to withhold our
products. Not in reality. We only 'make up
four per cent of the population," said Barrie.
Besides encouraging farmers . to lobby
MPs, Barrieapologized to the federation
members for "jumping ship" between OFA
elections. Barrie was recently appointed to a
three man beef commission established by
Minister of Agriculture and Food Dennis
Timbrell.
"I'll feel good if we do something to' make
beef farming better," Barrie' said of the
commission.
He assured • federation members that the
commission is not going into its task with
any pre -conceived ideas of how to improve
beef farming in the province.
Barrie said the commission will be
travelling around the ' .province getting
feedback from beef producers and visiting
other provinces to see how they market beef.

The video will be used for teaching
purposes at the university, he said, adding it
already has had a great emotional impact
upon students who had no idea the problems
faced by seniors today.
It also will be available to church and
service groups in and around the city of
Guelph;
Rita Rice, director of the Wingham day
centre, said her group has been given a copy
of the video to keep and it is available for any
local groups that want to view it.
