Agri -notes
(by Adrian Vos)
When you read this column
it will be the year of our Lord
1975 and with all the concerns
I have expressed in the past
year, we are all grateful that
we were able to provide for so
many the food that is needed
to help keep us all healthy.
Our fond hope is, that we may
continue to do so for a long
time. We hope that society in
this new year will come to their
senses, and help us to conserve
land that is so sorely needed in
the future, not only to feed
those that are starving now, but
also to feed our own country
when the population increases
to the level that is predicted
for the next twenty five years.
We wish all of you, farmer and
non -farmer alike, a healthy
and prosperous New Year. We
wish for an end to the troubled
economic times and for an end
to the crop disasters that plaguec
this world in the last year. I
wish us all working together to
make this a better world to
live in, with Faith and Hope
and Charity.
We as farmers have faith and
hope, or else we wouldn't be
farming, for the farmer is al-
ways saying after a poor crop;
"Well, next year has to be bet-
ter, " Some even say that to be
a farmer you have to have
charity as well, for who else
will give so much for so little.
Did you know that Canada's
trade balance with the world is
as big as the farm exports?
Yes, thats true. We export about
750 million of farm products
and our favourable trade bal-
ance is aboutthe same. I am
proud to say that we, being
only five percent of the popul-
ation, make it possible for the
other ninety five percent to
have the high standard of living
we enjoy. A good deal of the -
credit for the efficiency of the
Canadian farmer goes to the
research work done by the var-
ious levels of government and
to the extension specialist from
the ministries of agriculture and
food, under the guidance of the
Agricultural Represenatives.
Credit should go to the Canad-
ian farmer for utilizing the
advice he receives, so while
the land is resting, many farm-
ers will go to courses provided
by those specialists, to be even
more efficient than they are
already
