Exeter Grand Bend Office Office 235-2420 238-8484 Adjusting to rural life is dif- ficult after living in the city say Larry McKillop, 16, London, Larry is one of three hundred students involved this summer in the junior agriculturalist program sponsored by the Ministry of agriculture. "It was really hard to adjust", said Larry after three weeks on Robert Broadfoot's RR 1 Brucefield farm. "There's always something to do in London but not out here" JUNIOR AGRICULTURALIST- Larry McKillop, 16, Lon- don, watches another load of barley come in from the field, Friday. Larry will be staying on the form of Robert Broadfoot, RR 1 Brucefield, until August 20 as part of the Junior agriculturalist program sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture. City youth finds difficulty adjusting to farm. living Finding something to do is not always that difficult, though, and Larry finds rural living much more irregular than the city life. "Some days you get up at seven and don't stop work until nine and other days you have nothing to do". Larry helps with chores on the 200-acre farm where 100 sows are the main farming operation. A typical day for Larry involves 11.2 hours chores followed by harvest work or farm maintenance, Eggs have to be gathered at 4 O'clock and the day's work is usually through by 6 unless the wheat or barley is being har- vested. Larry has also been helping out with the wheat and barley har- vest. The wheat crop at the Broadfoot farm an about 71 bushels to the acre this year but the barley yield hasn't been calculated said Larry. Bob Broadfoot sees the program as being two-sided. The program provides his own son and daughters, 17, 15, and 13 years old, with some association with people outside the agricultural community and an opportunity for someone from the city to see a rural community. Corlette Rutledge, co-ordinator for the ministry program, London, says the response to the program has been "really good," "I think they (students) learn an awful lot, depending upon the type of operation they're on", she said. "They also find out a lot about rural farm life." There were 64 applications from farmers to host junior agriculturalists this year but only 45 applications could be fulfilled, she said. The junior agriculturalist program was expanded this year from 200 students to 300 currently involved in the program. The program begins June 20 and ends August 20 with the student's wages shared by the MiniStry and host farmer. The ministry pays each junior agriculturalist $6.00 a day and the farmer pays $10.00 per day. The junior farmer returns $5.00 a day ,to the farmer for board. The junior agriculturalist program, formerly based on the rural-urban exchange format, is in its fifth year of operation.
