regarding the high . water levels on the
Great Lakes, reported Reeve Dave
Johnston to village council on March 16.
The Bayfield reeve attended . a high

learned that while Lake Huron's record
high waters have dropped slightly, the
rates are expected to rise to within two to
four inches of last year's numbers.
Lake Huron is running some 30 inches
above the normal water rates.
Free trade deal
opposed by
Huron County
Federation of
Agriculture
The Huron County Federation of
Agriculture (HCFA) supports the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture's (OFA) stand in
opposing the Free Trade Deal between
Canada and the US. The HCFA supports the
idea of more liberalized trade, not only with
the US but with all countries. However, in-
creased trade should not be at the expense
of agriculture or at the expense of the
sovereignty of the country. The so railed
deal has given up many of Canadian rights,
and has given away the control of our
energy policy. The deal also restricts
Canada's control over foreign investment,
which makes many of the country's major
resource industries especially vulnerable,
noted representatives of HCFA.
Agriculture has given up a larger share of
its market to US suppliers, especially in the
supply managed commodities. The increas-
ed permissible import quotas would force
the elimination of 39 egg producers of
average Huron County size, 30 average
chicken producers and 10 turkey farmers. In
addition, in the worst case scenario, 800
dairy farmers of average Huron County size
would be sacrificed. The loss of the nearly
900 farmers under supply managed produc-
tion, is the loss of a group of Canadian
Farmers, currently requiring none or very
little of the additional government (both
provincial and federal) funding.
Proponents of the deal claim that red
meat producers are to gain. However, the
HCFA has seen no indications that the US
countervail duty on live hogs is to be remov-
ed, or any of the other major US farm export
subsidy programs are to be immediately
dismantled.
The HCFA is also concerned about the
quality of the deal and the speed in which a
deal was worked out in the last 48 hours
before the deadline at the end of September.
