Who will terry the chal- lenge of producing food for the consumers of Ontario when we hang up the work boots for the last time? And where will we be able w cash in our chips (read "sell ow farmland") to get the lump sum we'll need to afford the rewards of our labors in our old age?

This would be a true grass-roots, feet -on - the -ground, farm entrepreneur! Givah the present high interest rates, high input costs, high energy costs, low commodity prices, the dangers posed to our quota systems in the GATT negotiations or the failure thereof, I doubt such a creature exists in the Ontario of 1990. At very best, there would not be enough of them around to buy all the farms beaconing available in the next decade. What about farmers' sons and daughters? Our forefathers dreamed of building enduring homesteads; an independent way of life with a high standard of living in the open air, good food aplenty; and then to take all of this and hand it on through the ages to one's children and grandchildren. To own land and pass it down to descendants was the vision that brought our farming ancestors to clear this country, moving out of feudal systems where land was always owned by another, and the years of your life were spent working the master's crops and caring for his livestock. Our advice to our children is to get out and get the best education possible. We buy computers so they'll have marketable skills, and teach them to aim for a good secure job in the city without worries of weather or crop prices. May I make a suggestion. Where families are concerned, let's replace the term "family farm" with "fa- rming families". Sometimes the entire farm operation can be ex- panded to include grown-up children and their families who wish to farm. This changes the unit into a more diversified operation, usually with more investment, a larger land base and/or quota and more labor available. Farmers who definitely wish to quit and need to cash out the value of their land for retirement can sell to farming families and keep the land in production. But it must be at a fair, competitive market value, and what is fair market value if it's located beside an urban area? And our farmers are getting older and closer to retirement. Check the average age of the farmers in your surrounding community. Most of them are crowding their 50s from one direction or another, right? Where will these people be in the year 2000? Who will replace them? We always think of the Niagara area or the big cities in the "Golden Horseshoe" when we think of city growth swallowing up farmland. The 1991 census may surprise us by showing that an amazing amount of non-farm development is conver- ting prime farmland adjacent to our own towns and villages in Huron County. Elmer Buchanan, the new Provin- cial Minister of Agriculture and Food is to meet with farm represen- tatives at Clinton this month. We'll be listening very hard to him describe the direction of his government regarding farmland preservation. Agricultural land must be defended from conversion to non-farm use, but any program contemplated must also take into consideration the fair value of this asset to the retiring farmer. Forget • from page 2 Jeanne in closing. I would urge you to begin setting out a program for farmers and the working people to begin thinking with, for their benefit and the benefit of their children. This citizen is tired of reading "woe is me" as advocated by the OFA the NFU and the marketing boards. Those so called leaders have proven to have all the bite of a rubber duck. When it comes to farming policies and far- ming finance, those are the men and women that dug the hole for this country's descent to third world status. Give us what should be, we can read what has been and what they plane to do, to the agricultural in- dustry, in bankers publications written by those with jelly back- bones and brains to match Thank you for the valuable space Madam Editor.
