Bob and Linda Reid of Shakespeare are part of
Ontario's growing dairy goat industry. The Reids
have increased their herd from 35 to 160
purebred goats. With no quota system and
increased
consumer
demand for goat
milk products, the
industry is
attracting new
producers every
year. But the
Reids warn new
producers about
the troubles of
growing too big,
too fast.

THE MAGAZINE OF THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
Protection against the elements—whether it's lightning, wind,
fire or ice, farmers spend their lives battling the elements.
Years ago when disaster struck and a farmer's barn burned to
the ground he knew his neighbours would be there to help
build a new one. Neighbour helping neighbour— it's the same
principle farm mutual insurance companies have been basing
their business on for over a century. Page 20
