and Phyllis Ramer.
The involvement of the Health
Unit is interesting in a project with
such an agricultural twist. Feagan, a
health promotion consultant, admits
some people ask, why is the health
unit involved?
A rural health survey identified
four main rural health issues to be
addressed:
1. Health and safety (the Health
Unit held well -water testing nights,
people were taught how to safely
. wander clothes, hazards of pesti-
cides, etc.).
2. Stress management. The survey
revealed that many farm people feel
isolated and 20 per cent of those
surveyed said they had no one they
could turn to confide in and seek
help. A workshop on communica-
tion and the human aspects of
farming is being held at the end of
March with Dr. Ron . Hanson, a
Professor of Agribusiness at the
University of Nebraska.
3. Managing change. Encouraging
healthy communities and helping
individuals with decision-making
and dealing with change.
4. Promoting the image of farming.
Creating a positive self-image for
farmers.
The proposal for a Fann Hikers
Tour came from the fourth chal-
lenge posed by the survey. It was
decided that off -farm people should
Cattlemen elect
new president
Harvey Graham a cattleman
from the Durham East region
was named 1995 president of the
Ontario Cattlemen's Association,
last month.
Graham and his wife Joan
have farmed for 38 years near
Blackstock. They have three
children, Cheryl, Mark and
Robert. Mark is also a partner in
their farming operation that
includes a cow -calf herd, a feed-
lot and a cash crop business of
corn and oats. All calves are
finished and additional calves are
bought locally. In total, between
400 - 500 head of cattle are
finished each year.
Graham is active in his com-
munity and in the beef industry.
He's a past municipal councillor.
In the mid-1980s, he began to
participate in local cattlemen
activities. Involvement with the
OCA started in 1989 when he
became a provincial director.
Five years ago he became a
member of the provincial
executive committee, and cur-
rently sits on the national
executive committee and Canada

fann setting.
There is also a health promotion
through the trail hiking through
Bannockburn.
There are already enough pres-
sures working on a family farm...let
alone the added pressure of com-
munication breakdowns.
The Huron County Rural Health
Coordinating Committee is address-
ing the need for good communica-
tion in farm families with a work-
shop featuring Dr. Ron Hanson, a
speaker on relationships between
family members working together
on a farm. He is a Professor of
Farm Management and Agricultural
Finance in the Department of Agri-
culture Economics at the University
of Nebraska.
Sheryl Feagan, chairperson of the
Rural Health Coordinating Commit-
tee, said the workshops deal with
