Minister announces
FPMC appointment
The next "How to Thrive Not
Just Survive As A Farm Family"
workshop will be held Friday,
March 6, 9:30 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. at
the Stratford OMAFRA Confer-
ence Centre. The theme this year is
"Farm Family Relationships:
Working and Living with your
Business Partner."
John Field is a consultant in the
area of interpersonal relationships.
His workshop will offer partici-
pants the opportunity to learn more
about communication, priority
setting and conflict resolution.
Today's farm business families
face tremendous challenges, as
with changing times comes
changing ways of working and
relating together. The purpose of
this workshop is to address the
human aspect of farming. Working
together with family offers the
opportunity for a meaningful and
satisfying life. With an
understanding of how to prioritize
and achieve a balance in life, the
combination of living and working
together can be very rewarding, and
without it, the combination can be
disastrous.
The workshop is sponsored by
Neighbours Being Neighbours, the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs
(OMAFRA), Family Services
Perth-Huron and Perth Federation
of Agriculture. Those interested in
attending the workshop are asked
to pre-register by calling the
OMAFRA office at 519-271-0280
or 1-800-265-8502 by Feb. 27. The
cost is $25/person or $40/couple.
Noble Villeneuve, Minister of
Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs announced Feb. 13 the
appointment of Don Taylor as
Chair of the Ontario Farm Products
Marketing Commission (FPMC),
pending approval by the Standing
Committee on Public
Appointments.
"Mr. Taylor's long-standing
association with the Ontario
agriculture industry makes him an
excellent choice for chair of the
FPMC," said Villeneuve. "His
familiarity with a variety of
stakeholders and their issues will
be an asset to the agri-food
industry."
Taylor has held several positions
in the Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs over the
past 23 years. His most recent
position was director of Livestock
Technology and East Region in
OMAFRA's Agriculture and Rural
Division. Prior to that, he served as
principal at the New Liskeard and
Ridgetown Colleges of Agricultural
Technology.
Taylor has also held specialist
positions in the areas of dairy herd
management, improvement, and
nutrition.
He succeeds Commission Chair,
Jim Wheeler, who has assumed the
responsibilities of Assistant Deputy
Minister, Agriculture and Rural
Division, in the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs.
The Ontario Farm Products
Marketing Commission administers
the Farm Products Marketing Act
which provides for commodity
regulation under 23 marketing
plans and each plan is administered
by a producer marketing board. The
Commission also administers the
Milk Act which provides authority
to the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.
