Officially with this issue, THE RURAL VOICE is under new
management - gunby brown publishers, and that's us - Sheila
Gunby and Beverley Brown. We've been with the editorial board
of THE RURAL VOICE for several years under the able
management of McLean Bros. Publishers Ltd. of Seaforth and
look forward to continuing in our new capacity. The magazine will
bea "people" magazine, a magazine with something unique --not
found elsewhere; a magazine delving into the news affecting
people who really matter, people in the agricultural industry.
First we'd like to say thanks. Thanks to you, our readers who
responded to our readership survey in the spring, telling us what
you liked about THE RURAL VOICE and what you wanted to read
about in future issues.
Thanks to you, our advertisers for your continued support. We
feel THE RURAL VOICE should serve the whole agricultural
community, including agri-business which depends on the farmer
and on whom the farmer depends - two segments of the same
industry.
Thanks to readers belonging to our newsletter organizations,
the Federations of Agriculture in Huron, Bruce, and Grey
Counties and the Perth County Pork Producers. Your support is
greatly appreciated.
We have a good issue for you: John DePutter writes about the
Kondratieff wave, about the cycles in business, a theory
recognizing that no market (land, corn, interest rates or inflation)
is a one-way street. See page 12 •
Teamwork. Years ago, farmers relied on their next door
neighbours for help. They still need them to -day. Now they also
rely on a team of professionals to aid them in their farming
operation. Look for Herb Shoveller's story on page 6 .
Plus more: a look at a sheep operation in Bruce county, another
story on how a newcomer views farming, and financial analysis
part II by William H. Bearss, Royal Bank of Canada.
We'd be pleased to hear from you. We invite you to send letters
to the editor or suggestions for articles we might include in
upcoming issues. We want you to be part of THE RURAL VOICE
magazine.
