District 6, Region 3 of the
National Farmers Union at their
last regular Board Meeting,
discussed in detail the reasons for
resignations of three Local
Presidents within the District,
Number 26 of the consolidated
policy statements under "Land
Tenure" which caused some of
the disatisfaction was thoroughly
re-examined and found to have
been misunderstood. No, 26 reads
as follows.
"The NFU, traditionally the
pioneer in new farm policy
development, should take the
lead in introducing new concepts
of land tenure including
revaluation of the principle of
private land ownership com-
pared to public ownership with
tenure secured by leasing
arrangements that would provide
long term security of tenure and
transfer from one geheration to
the next within the family,"
A resolution from the floor
passed the following day which
stated: "Be it resolved that the
convention instruct the National
Board to structure a committee
that can spell in detail for con-
sideration at our next convention
the new concepts in land tenure
as is in section 26 of our con-
solidated policy ownership."
The NFU's main concern is to
keep farm land for farmers and
out of reach of speculators, also
to provide opportunities for
young people wishing to farm,
but at todays ever increasing
Move Snow
The Easy Way prices are unable to do so.
The increase in membership
dues from $25.00 to $100.00 was
also of concern for some locals.
After debating the issue for
hours and voting down a-
mendments of $50.00 and $75.00
the constitutional amendment
of $100,00 membership passed
with 96 votes more than the 2/3
majority required for a con-
stitutional amendment.
Again the NFU has been
successful in its efforts to aid
farmers through a period of
distressed prices.
According to Denise Van
Breda, director of district 6,
region 3 of the National Farmers
Union, members of the
organization have been actively
taking part in presentations to
both federal and provincial
governments in an effort to aid
beef producers and request
stabilization for all commodities
including rate of inflation clause.
