consider developing a land
ba tdetermine how much
nkoc.
land is being , used and
should be preeervcd for agri-
culture and how much 'is
available for industrial and.
urban growth.
The resolution represented
as close a saw -off as possible
between industrial concerns
and agriculture. Farmers in-
dicated right' from the outset
of the meeting that they were
not enthused about the pro-
spects of industrial develop-
ment; Many claimed: any

Lowed to invade agricultural
areas the invasion seems ,to
continue unchecked, until the.
agricultural areas are
severely restricted or gone.
' Adrian •Vos, a farmer from
Blyth, told the . group he
objected to the assumption of
many :people' that farmers.
wanted industry in Huron -
County, He said *he under-
stood the purpose of the
session was to. :'review `what
the county alrady had and
what it wanted, He said not
all the people at themeeting
wanted industry. .
Merle Gunby, president of
the Huron Federation of
Agriculture, told the ''group
industry , and agriculture
can't survive side by side He
warned that . the "farming.
community breaks down in
the face of -urban expansion
citing' the Niagara fruit belt
as an example. He said"any
relationship farming ,.and
industry had when an area
first began, to 'be developed'.
"simply 'breaks down with,
time.''
