The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) 1995
convention this week acclaimed a
new OFA president.
Tony Morris of Mildmay in
Bruce County, has taken over the
leadership of Canada's largest
voluntary general farm
organization from retiring president
Roger George.
Morris, who operates a
commercial sheep flock, has an
extensive background in production
agriculture in the UK, Europe and
Scandinavia, and has been farming
in Canada since 1975. He has
served on the executive committee
of the OFA for three years, last
year as first vice president.
Ken Kelly, who farms in Bruce
County, and Ed Segsworth, a grains
and cereal farmer in Halton Region,
were elected as OFA vice-
presidents by the 400 farm
delegates at the convention.
Re-elected to the OFA Executive
Committee were Alvin Runnalls,
Dundas County; Sharon Rounds,
Oxford County; and Mary
O'Connor, Waterloo Region.
Joining them for his first term as an
executive committee member is
Ben Walpot, a pork producer from
Haldimond County.
"The OFA has the responsibility
to speak strongly on behalf of the
40,000 farm families that it
represents," said Morris. "We will
work with all levels of government
as they become more fiscally
responsible, but we will never let
government forget the importance
of the agrifood sector to the
economy and theIeli that Ontario
farmers play in creating new wealth
and economic activity."
Morris said "There are a number
of challenges facing our industry in
the coming year and I look forward
to representing Ontario farmers and
ensuring our voice is heard and our
concerns addressed."
