Perth Federation of Agriculture: 50 years of productivity
by Andy Bader
With little fanfare, the Perth
County Federation of Agriculture
marked their 50th anniversary at
their annual meeting at the end of
January.
Throughout the annals of history,
the local federation hasrformed
many duties on behalf of their
membership, most of it behind -the -
scenes. There has been controversy,
but there has been unparalleled
productivity as well.
Some of these highlights include:
O active sponsor of films for
elementary and general public;
O 1950, formed a women's
committee;
O 1950, a farm commodities price
protest in Mitchell drew
approximately 1,200 farmers;
O 1963, set up an office in Mitchell
with Ed Dearing as secretary -
treasurer;
O meet the candidates meetings
before provincial and federal
elections;
O 1985, attended mass rally at
Queen's Park protesting high
interest rates and low farm gate
prices;
O 1992, 400 farmers from Perth
County joined 40,000 of nation's
farmers at rally in Ottawa to
support supply management in
GATT talks.
Any organization which has
survived the past 50 years would
not be successful without
worthwhile contributions from their
membership. From there, volunteers
form executives to act on behalf of
their membership. These individuals
deserve recognition, just as they
received at the Mitchell & District
Community Centre when past
president's pins were presented to
those who could attend.
Past presidents of the Perth FOA
include: Frank Bell (1944-47),
James Corry (1948), William
Anderson (1949), Clayton Bender
(1950-51), Harold Patterson (1952-
53), Filmore Chappel (1954-55),
They'll do
everything but
make it rain.

Bill
to
to Bill 91
by Mark Crlpps
If you ask Ontario Federation of
Agriculture president Roger George
what he thinks of the government's
plan to unionize farm workers, he'll
tell you the farm organization he
leads "is making the best of a bad
deal."
"Bill 91 is flawed, there's no
question," said George in a
telephone interview from his Toron-
to office. "But there are 20 farm
organizations involved, and we have
analyzed the whole thing and have
highlighted 11 concerns.
"I am led to believe that the
government and Labour Minister
Bob Mackenzie are sorting out
these flaws," added George.
The comments come in response
to criticisms made of the OFA by
Ontarians for Responsible
Government. ORG has accused the
OFA of silently supporting Billi 91,
as repayment for stabt 111
legislation which increased the
lobby group's membership and
revenues.
"We are not the government,"
said George. "Originally, when the
government opened up the Labour
Relations Act, it was the OFA and
other farm groups that convinced
the government to recognize
agriculture as a unique industry and
to give us a separate deal."
George accused ORG of making
a lot of noise, while not attending
meetings dealing with Bill 91.
"Five farmers and a billboard in
Huron County won't accomplish
anything," he said.
"If everything works out at the
end of the day, the labour rules for
farmers in Ontario could be the best
in Canada,". said George. "I've
already talked to people in the
agricultural sector in other provin-
ces that are quite jealous."
