(Banner Photo) Huron Federation takes stand against agrominium principle Toronto developer Jethro Crane has a• lot of convincing to do before he persuades Huron County farmers that "agromini- ums", settling farm land at a density of one family per four acres, represent the future for agriculture. Members of the Huron Federation of Agriculture attend- ing a meeting in Bluevale last week overwhelmingly voted to go on record as opposing the agro- minium principle, which they see as ,a financial enterprise enrich - sing promoters but against the best interests of farming. Federation member Bev. Brown, a Turnberry Township farmer, told the meeting Devon Downs Development of Toronto, headed by Mr. Crang, istrying to set a pilot agrominium project in West Gwillimbury Township, about 30 miles north of Toronto. The township has rejected the project, she said; and the de- veloper is now asking the Ontario Municipal Board to overturn the rejection. Mr. Crang has promised that if the pilot project is successful, he Farm Systems Ltd. ARE THE ONTARIO DISTRIBUTORS FOR r11/MINEln MOIL& With the sweat and strain of handling feed and grain.

A model agrominium;. ac- cording to Devon Downs, would settle approvimately 150 families on 600 acres. About two-thirof the land would be devoted to cash crops and livestock would include 25 horses, 40 pigs, 20 steers and 600 capons. A fish pond, green- house and recreational areas are also proposed. While the land would be jointly owned by the 150 settlers, they. would not be expected to do the farming. This `would be looked after by a farm staff -of people with agricultural experience 'under the direction of a farm management company consist- ing of at least one person with ex- tensive farm experience or other qualifications as a professional farmer, the developer says. The farm would run on a five- year program Under a farm com- mittee 'comprising three owners appointed by the board of direc- tors of Devon Downs Farms. Although the owners should not depend on the agrominium for their income and should continue with outside jobs, they could ex- pect to derive a modest income from the farming operation, Devon Downs predicts. On the other hand, it claims the agrominium concept of farming "ensures a, more stable farm operation than traditional forms since it is essentially unaffected by losses". It points out that a $75,000 loss, which would wipe out most farmers, translates into only a modest $500 lost per owner with a 150 member agrominium. Farmers at the meeting. fami- liar with the problems of support- ing one family on a farm. were amused at the suggestion 150 families should expect to derive a "modest income" in addition to paying their hired help from the produce of less than four acres each. Miss Brown predicted they "couldn't produce food" with suctra setup. She also pointed out the problems such an influx of 'settlers would cause a rural com- munity. Where, for instance, would. the children of 150 families go to school, she asked. Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron - Perth and Liberal agricultural critic, has charged the agrorrrini- um concept is nothing more than an attempt by developers to get aroundrestrictions on developing agricultural land. The only peo- ple who can keep a viable farm operation going. he said, are those who not only want to live in an agricultural area but also want to work. BANKRUPTCY PAYMENT FUND Federation members were also informed Mr. Riddell is asking for comments on Bill 45, passed earlier this year. which allows commodity groups to establish a fund to provide payment to farm- ers in case of bankruptcy by a dealer or packer The bill pro- vides for a one-time government grant of up to $25.000 to establish the fund. One farmer pointed out that 825,000 is ir)sufficient to reim- burse producers for lost pay- ment. "If you're in the beef b1si- ness," he noted, "that's not very man , cattle." He told the meet- ing he knows of one case in which a cheque on a deal bounced and just the one cheque was for more than that, He predicted the fiind will eventually be built up uy collect- ing licencing fees from dealers, but questioned how much 'help it will provide in the meantime. "Where will you get the money if a packet goes down witha half million dollars?" he asked. The groupwas addressed brief- ly by Jean Down, a graduate stu- dent from the University of Guelph, who ' is studying the opportunities open to young farmers. Working under a grant from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Miss Down is currently interviewing'arrandoin sample of young.farmers in 'Huron County. Previously she had done the same in Northumberland County. She will be presenting the results of the study to the y in March. She said information so far seems to indicate' that while young people are still going into agriculture, many are leaving after three tg five years, whether because of bankruptcy or what- ever reason. She hopes the study, will indicate what, if any, policy changes are necessary to help young fanners get a start, • SLIDE SHOW FEATURED Featured speaker of the eve- ning was Dixie Cameron of RR 2, Lucknow, who presented a slide show on her recent trip to New Zealand and Australia. Mrs. Cameron had spent four months there, staying on various farms, as an ambassadress for the Jun- ior Farmers. She showed a large number of slides she had taken along the journey and accompanied them with an excellent discussion of farming in the two countries. With a shortage of arable land, most agriculture there revolves around L L G_s and dairy cattle and pigs. New Zealand is quite mountainous and farmers there have sheep graz- ing on the sides of hills H ,tile rat- tle pas tire in the vaiLev. Australia, on the other hand, is very dry and agriculture depends upon irrigation from divers. Farmers are charged for water by the acre-foot, the amount needed to flood one acre one foot deep, making water an expense to be reckoned into the cost of farming. She also noted farm layout there is different from here. Farms are very large, ranging into the tens of thousands of __ Wcrrs, a, -....a. ,.. utsi,txuigs are not grouped. In addition to the farm- house there are wool sheds for the sheep, but no barns for the cattle.
