Sept. 1 DAVID SCOTT PHOTO IAEA VISITS SEAFORTH - A dozen trainees on the International Agricultural Exchange Association (IAEA) program were in Seaforth recently touring area farms and agri-businesses. The trainees are pictured here with Jim and Brenda McIntosh at their poultry farm at RR 4 Seaforth. World meets Huron BY DAVID SCOTT Expositor Staff They are different ages and come from different countries but they all have a common experience: life on a Canadian farm. Ken and Malina Scott of RR 2 Seaforth were host to a dozen young people over the weekend from England, Denmark, Australia and New Zealand on the IAEA (International Agricultural Exchange Association) program. The group converged on the Scotts' house for two days of farm and agri-business tours. On Friday the group went to Jerry and Susan Wilder's ostrich, emu and rhea farm in Zurich; Hensall Co-op; Vanden Heuvel Farms - hog operation and Eckerlea Acres - Seaforth dairy farm. Saturday the IAEA members toured Jim and Brenda McIntosh's Seaforth area poultry operation, Design Concrete in Scaforth and Sun North - ventilation systems, in Seaforth. The Huron Expositor spoke to the group Friday evening about their experiences on Ontario farms. The IAEA participants included: Robyn Napier from Victoria, Australia, who is staying with Bob and Christa Eckert of Seaforth; Susanne Seested of Denmark, at Joe and Nancy Vink's farm in Kirkton; Olai Noer of Denmark, staying with Peter and Karen Harvey of Cookston; Cathy Taylor of Sussex, England, at Andy and Christal Quinn's in Ingersoll; Gary Flood of Northland, New Zealand, at the farm of s P. & J. Lambrick of Campbellvillc; Adrian Lee of Bir- mingham, England, staying with K. & S. Murphy of Alliston; Roy Ward of Western Australia, at Keith and Liz Selves' farm in Kirkton; Jason Gudge of England, was stay- ing in Seaforth and is now in Shell Lake, Saskatchewan; Debbie Ferguson of New Zealand, at Ken and Marina Scott's of Scaforth; Andrew Brown of Australia at Bruce and Lisa Cruickshank's of Paris; Martin Moroni of Australia, on Jim Allison's farm in Manila and Adrian Brasher of England, a former IAEA trainee from 1990 at Bob and Christa Eckert's in Scaforth. Most of the trainees are from farming backgrounds. A few are on "All you hear is bloomin' baseball..." the program just for the experience of farm lift in other countries. How do Canadian farming condi- tions stack up against other coun- tries? It's a lot wetter," said Roy Ward of Australia. "It's a lot dryer," said a partici- pant from England. "The difference in weather is a challenge. It's good in a way," said Robyn Napier of Australia, who said it never snows where she's from. Debbie Ferguson of New Zealand found Canada has more extremes and changes in weather. Jason Gudge, who is now at a farm in Saskatchewan, said the prairie province only gets three seasons instead of four. "Sometimes there's no summer," said Gudge, who talked about the large amounts of rain in Saskatchewan this sum- mer. Gudge recently took a trip to Woodstock '94 in New York State and experienced some rainy condi- tions while listening to music with about a million other rock and roll fans. "It was amazing," he said. The IAEA trainees also com- mented that Canadians were friend- lier and trustworthy. What arc some other differences about Canada? "There's less kangaroos here," joked one Australian. "We're in the best country in the world," commented Ray Ward on Canada. "You're taxed to death here. It's Taxtario," said Cathy Taylor of England. As far as farming goes, we arc "more intense on a small scale," said Andrew Brown of Australia. Animal rights activists affect farming more so in Australia than over here, commented one trainee. "There's a lot less farmers per capita in Australia so the govern- ment doesn't care if they get our vote," said Ward. In England, farmers are always being hassled by animal rights activists, said Adrian Lee. "Can't do an honest day's fox-hunting and look what happens," joked Cathy Taylor. "There's no fish and chips," said Adrian Lee of England. "Like you have doughnut shops over here, England has fish and chip shops." As far as sports goes, Canadian coverage is a little different. "All you hear is bloomin' base- ball," said Ward, who commented on the low-key coverage of the Commonwealth Games in the Cana- dian media. As of Friday, Australia was the leading country in the games, ahead of Canada by about 30 points and England followed in third. For the Australians, our language was a little different. They have a few different terms for common Canadian things. Supper is tea, a pickup truck is a 'ute' (short for utility), they call a washroom either a toilet or bathroom (they have toilets and baths in separate rooms), We say sidewalk, they say foot path. Instead of a milking parlour, Australians have cow sheds. And ketchup is called tomato sauce or 'dead horse' - they really didn't know why. These IAEA trainees in Ontario have had a couple of group gather- ings like this. About three weeks after the nine-month trainees arrived in February, a weekend session was held. "There was a big weekend in April when the seven-month trainees arrived," said Ken Scott, commenting on the different length of exchange programs under the IAEA. This current group of trainees will start leaving in Octo- ber to fly home or fly on to the next exchange. "A lot of Canadian families want to host trainees but there are restric- tions on the numbers because there's not enough people from Ontario and Canada going out," said Marina Scott. Ken and Marina Scott encourage young rural people to participate in the IAEA program which is a chance for Canadians to travel and experience other cultures and farming practises. "It's a chance to broaden your horizons and to meet new people," said Adrian Brasher of England.
