January workshops will help families plan the transfer of farms from one generation to the next Keynote speaker, Lorne Owen from British Columbia, one of Canada's leading Human Resource Specialists, states that "Succession Planning is a process - not an event". That's a key reason why Ontario's "Planning For Success" Farm Management Conference Committee has organized a series of four regional conferences across Ontario during the last week of January on "Succession Planning". Owen will develop the "planning is a process" theme by making two presentations - the first on Developing a Strategic Succession Plan and the second on Choosing and Coaching Your Successor. Dr. Wayne Howard of the University of Guelph will report on the application of new research that attempts to predict whether family members can really operate a busi- ness together. A Business Specialist from Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will provide ideas on family team business decision mak- ing. As well, a panel con- sisting of Lawrence Bingeman, John Eisses and Ralph Winslade will provide some real life examples. To implement your suc- cession plans, you will need some professionals. Canadian Tax Specialist, Kurt Oelschlagel, C.A. from Hanover, will tell you how to take advan- tage of the income tax rules.

For the first time ever it is possible to pre -purchase your tickets (in packages of five) to the IPM. Those who purchase the advance tickets will have a chance on a draw for a luxurious Park Model Home. The first International Plowing Match was held in 1913 in York County, Toronto at Sunnybrook Farm, now the site of Sunnybrook Hospital. Thirty-one plowmen com- peted in seven classes, and the executive felt it was a success although the weather was unfavourable. Admission was free and a charge was made on each vehicle of 50 cents. Accommodation was pro- vided for the contestants in one of the buildings, but each had to furnish their own bedding. In 1918, the Plowing Match was cancelled due to the influenza epidemic that killed millions of peo- ple throughout the World. The Second World War halted the matches from 1942 until 1946. The. first match held after World War II was held at Port Albert Airfield near Goderich. on October 15-18, 1946. This was Huron County's first International Plowing Match.
