brief asking the gover-
nment for major
assistance for. Ontario's
troubled farm industry at
last Wednesday's annual
meeting in Toronto.
Merle Gunby, president
of Huron County
Federation , of
Agriculture, explains,
"We asked for the right to
farm. We want more
protection from
restrictions being placed
on acceptable farming
practices by non -farming
people."
"We want•the Planning
Act to be revised to give
agriculture top priority,"
he added.
The situation ' is
becoming more difficult
due to increasing urban
dwellers moving to rural
areas. In Ontario, 200,000
rural lots have been
severed.
Gunby , said -a com-
mittee should be
established that sets
acceptable fa' cel p1 a-c-
tices. This committee
should be made up of
farmers, agrologists and
civil servants.
'At the meeting, Gunby
said there was "quite a
discussion - mostly with
Henderson" about who
should do what about
interest rates -- whether
the federal government,
provincial government or
marketing hoards. The
