The resolution asked the OFA to establish an action committee to study the question of foreign ownership and requested that the committee try to present a background paper on their findings to the 1978 OFA convention in Hamilton on November 27 =29. Mrs. Fortune told the Huron members the problem of --.- foreign ownership of farmland is surfacing throughout the province. She said, "There are many `rumours but few facts." She said the Huron County board of directors hope the OFA action comniittee can work up some background in- formation on the situation to present to the up- coming convention. Mrs. Fortune said two Western provinces have alxe.ad,y P - .,...P.,... .a.ss,ed. legislation limiting foreign ownership of farmland in their province, which may result in more foreign investment in Ontario.

Federation Members also approved a second -resolution introduced- by. member Tony McQuail. The resolution asked that OFA establish a committee to study ways of reducing farm dependence on fossil fuel inputs by such methods as energy conservation, solar heatiryg,and drying, ., wind power and other alternate energy sources. Also, the resolution asked OFA to encourage agricultural colleges and OMAF to do research in the areas which the OFA committee feels shows most promise and to distribute information on these areas to the farm community. In introducing his resolution, Mr. McQuail said technological ad- vances in farming were tied closely to fossil fuels and high energy inputs. He •'said this depen- dence has led to a price squeeze on the farmer between the cost of farm inputs and the prices of farm commodities. Mr. McQuail said farmers must take a lead in the are•of.investigating alternatives or they will find themselves in an awkward position as fossil fuel prices in-.
