Farmers need better
prices - Bill Stewart
Farmers must receive better prices for
their products and consumers must be
made aware of this fact.
This was the message delivered by
former provincial agriculture minister Bill
Stewart at a farm appreciation seminar in
Goderich recently.
Mr. Stewart said young farmers aren't
satisfied "to live poor and die rich" and
are demanding a fair return on their
investments.
"Farm prices have to be high enough to
warrant investments in land, machinery
and tile drainage," the former agriculture
minister said.
He said Canadians are enjoying cheaper
food at the expense of farmers.
"An average hour's wage will buy
more food in Canada than eN,er before."
Mr. Stewart pointed out.
