An example given at the meeting pertained to a young farmer in Middlesex County who with the unofficial blessing of the township in which he farmed, set. up a pig operation. Because of pressure from a coalition. of urban neighbours, an obscure, bylaw was applied against him. He was faced with a $1,000 fine per day.

Food production should be recognized as the primary function in an agricultural area and it should be given the protection it deserves or we all lose. Governments at all levels must ensure the farmer's right to farm and consequently the consumer's right to purchase high quality food at a reasonable price. The Middlesex Federation of Agriculture takes the stand that severances should not be granted too easily and that urbanites who chose to live in rural Ontario be made awax+e of the fact that they have to live with what the. countryside offers, the good as well as the not so good.
