"There is a lot more ignlpranee, The dairy industry realizes this and is trying to change it. Fifty years ago t ere was no problem but now it is time to make changes. Agriculture is not getting a lot.of respect. It deserves much more." i Mr. Daley noted that Ontario minister of agriculture, Dennis Timbrell "is starting an awareness program in schools. Its nbt much but is a start- ' • Although only three and a half per cent of the population are farmers. Mr. Daley said "competition is amazing. Recession heigh- teps competition and creates tension".
