Farming with all its short-
comings has much more to offer
than an eight to four o'clock job
does, James McGuigan told
members of the Huron Federation
of Agriculture at their July
meeting.
Mr. McGuigan, who is an
executive of the Ontario
F of A and. President of the Fruit
and Vegetable Growers Associa,
tion lashed out at farmers who
downgrade their business and in
doing so alienate their own
children from a farm life.
Discussing the cost of food, he
said that much has been said
about the capacity of the farmer
to produce more food on the same
land. He agreed this could be
done but at .a cost. If it means
more fertilizer for nitrogen, this
comes from oil and adds to the
cost with todays high fuel prices.
Phosphate is found in
inaccessable places and using

Applications for loans in the
amounts of $1,600., $1,600.,
$400., and $7,500. under The Tile
Drainage Act, 1971 were
accepted.
All approved accounts were
ordered paid including General -
$20,994.31 and Roads and
Bridges - $12,716.99 for a total of
$33,711.30.

more means higher -cost to get it
to the farm. Only potash is
available in sufficient quantity.
Increased use of fertilizer will
thus increase the cost of food
production and the cost to
consumers.
Chemical herbicides , and
insecticides too are derived from
oil, or coal, he said, and added 'It
all adds up to only one thing,
higher food prices.'
It's the same with irrigation,
very expensive and in the long
run the land, especially in arid
regions becomes salty and less
productive. Advances in plant
bre'6ding appears to have come to
an end. We run a high risk of
plant diseases wiping out an
entire crop, he said, and recalled
the corn plight two years ago.
The key to increased produc-
tion is profit. Already 10% of
eastern manufacturing milk
producers quit every year
MRS, JEAN BRIDGE
because of lack of profit, 'The
farmer must keep pace with the
income of the rest of society or he
will drop out,' he said.
Mason Bailey expressed fear
that with Huron county's
agricultural zoning some farmers
are losing because land that was
worth quite a bit of money before
zoning is now locked in agricul-
ture and this means a loss to the
owner. If society demands this
zoning, he said, the owner should
be compensated by society in
accordance with OFA policy.
