The group was also given an opportunity to tour cities and outlying communities as well as the rural districts. While on the farms they did basic chores along with the host families. Each stay varied from a week to 10 days. Cultural exchanges have a special signifi- cance for participants who gain new ideas and learning experiences. They are also an opportunity to gain first hand experience of the lifestyles of the people in host countries. That is how Jim McNichol and Jeff Allan, both of Seaforth and members of the Zone F Junior Farmers group suns up their recent trip, to Australia and New Zealand. The pair along with 16 other members of their zone, which encompasses the counties of Huron, Perth, Bruce and Grey, recently returned from a month-long trip to the two countries. The group left on January 13 and returned on Feb. 13. In that period they spent two weeks in each of the countries. All in all there were an estimated 45 partici- pants from around Ontario involved in the exchange. The pair estimate that the trip cost each individual between $4,000 and 54,500 in personal funds to take the trip. However, they do not regret the cost, but admit, jokingly, that they could not take too many similar exchange trips. In spite of the cost, ' g anti ant the absorbed totally by each p pair value fheir trip and the information they gathered. The .trip, which was organized by provincial Junior Farmer director, Bill Armstrong, was designed to give partici- pants an opportunity to see farming practices in other countries through a billett system. The participants were billetted on different farms with varying film opera - "We gained a lot of new friends," Mr. McNichol said, referring to other benefits from such a trip. "We also learned about what other people have to put up with," Mr. Allan added, explaining that Australia has a had a severe drought for the past three years. 41 The pair also agree That after seeing what other people have to cope with they have a greater appreciation of Canada, in particu- lar our favourable climate conditions. They explain that while they were in Australia, daily temperatures soared in the 40°C range. They add that there was another positive aspect to the trip. It seemed to get our zone group closer," Mr. McNichol said, as he described closer relationships established between zone members during the trip. Both feel that the visit was the best way to learn about the farming and cultural aspects of another country. They would also give consideration to another, similar trip if the op ortunity arose. opportunity According tothepair, approximately 75 aPP Young Farmers from Australia and -New Zealand are slated to make a similar exchange trip to Canada in July of next year. They will be met by their Ontario counterparts in Vancouver and touywlth the group from the west coast tbi ttakio. They explain that enthusiasm for such a trip gained momentum while the Junior Farm- ers' group was on its exchange trip.
