"Now that the election is over, its .time for the government to use its new -mandate to'tackle some of the issues facing Canadian farm- ers," said : OFA President Tony Morris. "Ontario's farm community and agri-food industry expect the new minister of Agriculture and Agri -Food Canada to hit the ground running with a full appreciation and recognition of the importance Onta- rio's agriculture industry plays in the Canadian economy." • Morris says the government needs -to achieve equitable distribu- tion and application of government assistance and services across all provinces. He listed improving fann safety net programs; review- ing'user fees and cost -recovery pro- grams such as' the Pest Manage- ment Regulatory Agency, enhanc- ing trade and supporting farm mar- keting boards as goals that should top the government's agenda. Morris said the widely disparate agricultural policies put forward by the five .major parties during the election shows there is little agree- ment on what the best policies are for Canadian agriculture. He antici- pated more debate and discussion .On the issues: "Fan» groups will Miku's B!Asi \N(I PAIN I Should have been listed in the small phone book under Hartman Mike instead of :.nder Mike's Blast and Paint • demand they he full partners at the table in consultations to determine • the future of their industry," he says. "Agricultural and rural issues didn't receive much attention dur- ing the election," said Morris. "We .expect rural MPs to pay more atten- tion to the concerns of their farm constituents as they get down to business in Ottawa." Hensall Cooperative enrolls in AG • 21 HENSALL - The Hensall District Cooperative, with a history of more than 60 years of providing progres- sive and diversified services and products to farmers in southwest Ontario, is moving into the next century with Farmland industries through AG•21: This marks the first Canadian cooperative to enroll in the program. AG•21 is. an innovative crop pro: duction process developed by the Farmland agricultural cooperative, headquartered in Kansas City, to raise the agronomic, environmental and managerial standard for coop- eratives across North America. The program is•a partnership of the lo- . cal cooperative, their farmer members and Farmland to provide enhanced services. cutting-edge technology and an emphasis on en- vironmentally sound management practices. it aims to use the hest crop production techniques and the. latest technology to maximize crop potential in an environmentally friendly manner: General Manager Earl Wagner, along with the cooperative.'s board. of directors and its president, Clif- ford Hicks, signed the agreement with Farmland Industries • last month. According to Wagner, the :Hen- , call board of directors had been' ex- ploring ways they could adapt the business to meet the needs of a rap- idly changing- agriculture industry. He says AG•21 fit. their criteria and will help them meet, their objec- tives. . ' "We needed to position otirseives to.get more technologically.:savvy or get out of the business. This'was the time to do it." Wagner said. - AG•21 is an on-going process of evaluation, modification and educa- tion for tate cooperative.. Hicks and - Wagner agree the end result will benefit producers and the commit.. nity. The program has three major ele- ments: 'agronomic; marketing and environmental: AG•21's agronomic training and technology from -lead- ing industry experts will enable the Hensall District Co-op to provide integrated crop management servic- es, including state-of-the-art preci "cion -farming . technology to its members. Marketing and risk man- agement training will better equip the cooperative to implement pro- grams that result in the best eco- nomic returns for members. Third- ly, participating in AG•2 I illustrates the cooperative's com- mitment to the environment and the communities where they are locat- ed. "AG•2I is about establishing a protocol of best management prac- tices which protect, the employee. • the customer and the community. lt's about doing the right thing. It doesn't matter if you farm in Cana- da or the U.S., AG•2I is =more about changing behavior so that growers- use the hest. management practices. automatically,' said -Stan Riemann, vice president of Crop Production for Farmland Industries. . "To keep .up with government regulations in Canada. we've made . capital improvements at several :of • our locations to make sure we're doing things right. But more than that, we need to he proactive. mak- ing improvements before we're told to," Hicks stated. • • The cooperative will take part in an environmental audit to help the business develop_ a plan for the safety. of .employees, farmers and the community when handling crop . protection products. and fertilizers. At the conclusion of the process. the Hensall District Co-op will be - conte the first Canadian coopera- Osc to be an AG•21-Certified re-_ taller. it is one of six Canadian cooperatives that are part of the Farmland Co iperative System.
