The dry shrivelled leaves on this corn is a thing of the past in Huron County, as a targe
storm system dumped up to 50 mm ( two inches ) of rain on the crop on Tuesday. Although
many areas had received showers earlier this month, other farms, particularly in the
Bayfield, Varna,, Brucefield areas were very dry and would suffer from substantial crop
losses if the rain hadn't come. (James Fitzgerald photo)

according to Bruce Rathwell
of Unifeller Corp. They are
Europeans who are in-
terested in buying farms in
the Seaforth area, and mov-
ing -here to settle.
Mr. Rathwell, a real estate
agent for Unifeller shows
them around area farm pro-
perties that are for sale.
Mr. Rathwell recently
hosted more than 65 farmers
(representing 50 families)
from Switzerland, Australia,
Germany and England, who
are interested in moving to a
farm in our area. .
He says the Europeans
who are interested in On-
tario farmland are wealthy
and know the value of this
land.
Huron County has some of
the best land in the world,
according to Mr. Rathwell,
because of good heat units.
"The southern tip of Ontario
is equal to Northern Califor-
nia (in that respect) " said
Mr. Rathwell. "This area is
highly productive."
Canada also appeals to
these prospective im-
migrants because it is a
neutral country, and it is
easier to immigrate here.
Once a farmer has bought
his property, there is a
year's wait until the family
receives a visa from the
Canadian government.
Mr. Rathwell stressed that
those who visited are not in-
terested only, but plan to live
on the property they buy and
work it themselves.
"They `must move into
Canada to buy from us,
that's always been our
policy. I don't believe in sell-
ing to absentee landlords,"
he said.
Mr. Rathwell and his wife,
Dawn are the Unifeller
representatives in this area,
and have been for more than
a year. Unifeller deals only
with agricultural properties
and is based in Canada.
Unifeller has several offices
overseas including ones in
England, Denmark,
Holland, Germany,
Australia and Switzerland.
Mr. Rathwell said many
people from Germany and
England are seriously in-
terested in moving to
Canada. He cited one exam-
ple of a German farmer who
is selling his land near a ma-
jor city, for many million
dollars, and plans to pur-
chase land here. Mr.
Rathwell commented on the
benefits of having such a
large sum of money being
brought into the country.
"When they buy, everyone is
helped out. They're really
helping our sagging
economy," he said.
Mr. Rathwell also em-
phasized that these farmers
who are interested in this
area are "shrewd
businessmen and smart
farmers. They can see a
good future in this area," He
also stressed that they have
the advantage of intensive
agricultural education.

Beefstockers get assistance
Agriculture and Food
Minister Lorne C. Henderson
has announced his
ministry's new $7 million,
1980 Beef Cattle Assistance
Program for Stocker Cattle.
"High interest rates and
increased operating costs
have put many beef stocker
feeders in a loss position, as
have the negative margins
between the per -pound price
of cattle they bought as
calves and the • per -pound
price when they were sold to
beef producers last year,"
Farm Safety
Week's on
In 1980, Ontario's Warm
Safety Association recorded
2,650 lost time injuries
among the agricultural
workplaces in the province,
an all-time high for
agricultural injuries. Fifty
agricultural -related deaths
were also recorded in the
same time period.
The province can ill afford
the loss of man power and
more importantly the loss of
lives of our farm population.
The Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food joins
with the Farm Safety
Association and the Canada
Safety Council in
proclaiming and endorsing
National Farm Safety Week
from July 25-31.
