Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1988-04-13, Page 2020 - THE HURON EXPOSITOR, APRIL 13, 1Q88 Farm Family forum report released Farm families are concerned about more than just economic issues, according to a report released by Agriculture Minister John Wise. Although farm income, production costs and commodity prices topped the list of con- cerns, issues such as the environment, retirement, the transfer of the family farm to the next generation and farm safety are also of considerable importance to farm families. The Family Farm Forum report has been developed from replies to a questionnaire distributed to farm families nationwide to develop a better understanding of the family farm net only as a business but as a place where people live. "There is a growing awareness in the farm community of human issues, such as child care, stress and workload, that affect family farm life," Mr. Wise said. "This dialogue was intended to determine the im- portance of those issues, as well as the economic issues of concern to farm families." The Family Farm Forum report is a con- tinuation of an initiative that grew out of discussions Mr. Wise had at the 1985 Second National Farm Women's Conference. Delegates there stressed the need for a more effective partnership between govern- ment and the fanning community. The Family Farm Forum initiative began with an Agenda for Discussion - a question- naire developed after more than 300 farm families, farm organizations and others were approached for their views on the real concerns and priorities of the farming The Family Farm Forum report will be community. distributed to all participants of the study, More than 7,000 families nationwide including farm organizations, women's responded to the opportunity to give their groups and various levels of government. views on what they think are the major `The report will form the basis of ongoing issues facing the future of the family farm. discussions to address the main concerns The resulting report is based on an identified through this grassroots consulta- analysis of a sample of 1,800 replies selected tion," Mr. Wise said. to represent the distribution and concentra- Copies of the report will also be available tion of agriculture in the various regions of In the next few days through the regional of - Canada.
