However, things could be going a little better, accord- ing to John King, general manager. In 1998, only edu- cational programs for schools will run. There will be no public program. In the Farm Progress issue, carried in this publica- tion on March 18, an article referred to a long list of pub- lic events planned for spring, summer and fall at the Museum. The article was misleading in that circum- stances at the Museum had changed since the calendar of events was distributed. The Farm Museum is a not-for-profit organization operated by Country Heritage Experience Inc. In late 1995, the provincial government announced there would be no funding for. the Ontario Agricultural Museum. King explained that a group of people got togeth- er, formed a committee and made a pitch to the govern- ment. "A not-for-profit corpora- tion would be created to man- age and preserve the Museum, and keep the facili- ty for the benefit of the peo- ple of Ontario," said King. The government accepted 1998 SDCC N.H.L. Playoff Pool $1000 in. Prizes Entry Deadline Fri. Apr. 24 6:00 pm Entry forms may be picked up and dropped off at SDCC Archie's Pizza 'Drain that approach. King said the government still owns the site, the collec- tion and the artifacts and does provide "a little bit of finan- cial assistance" to cover some of the basic operating costs because it is their site. Country Heritage Experience Inc. took over April 1, 1997. "Unfortunately, the first Year for the new corporation brought with it some unfore- seen costs associated with the start up ancj the revenue pro- jections were not up to expectations," King said. As a result, in late 1997 it was necessary to lay off all of the staff and the site was secured for thc winter. Huron milk worth millions In the 1997 calender year, Huron's 315 milk producers shipped 113,785, 874 L of milk (up 8.1 per cent) with a value of $65.25 -million. The average fat test was 3.86 per cent and the average protein test was 3.32 per cent, according to a report of thc agricultural representative to Huron County Council. 56 egg producers Huron County has 56 egg producers and 24 pullet growers, according to a report of the agricultural rep- resentative to Huron County Council in February.

The board is now in the process of reviewing the business plan and trying to identify some areas where the Farm Museum can continue to offer some kind of pro- gram, "but to do it without the financial risks," says King. "Our school program has predictable revenues and We can staff the site accordingly. The teachers pre -book so they tell us how many stu- dents will be coming," King said. However, a public pro- gram on the other hand brings with it total uncertain- ty. "We would have staff on the site and if sufficient peo- ple don't come through the doors, we would have a red - ink day," said the general manager. "We don't have the resources to be able to sustain any red -ink days. Fpr that reason the board determined that while a public program would be ideal, we don't have the resources to be able to do It. The educational program is tentatively slated to start near the end of April. King remains optimistic about the future of the Farm Museum and public programs. The Farm Museum is located beside the 401, exit at Hwy. 25 Milton. The phone number is 1-905-878-8151.
