Getting an interview with Dennis Timbrell, our
Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food was not
exactly the easiest assignment for our writer Bob
Thompson. Nevertheless, he was able to get a story
and some quick shots for an exclusive feature for
THE RURAL VOICE, starting on page 6.
We've also presented a two -fold story on plowing
matches. One article, by Alice Gibb, features
Duncan Carmichael who hosted the last Interna-
tional match held in Middlesex county in 1928. The
other story features Allan Scott and the match in
Middlesex county on his farm this year. We have a
collection of photographs taken from past plowing
matches. Do you remember hearing about the match
that never was - "Huron for Hospitality" in 1942,
cancelled because of the war?
Thought we'd like to mention who is responsible
for our Farm Follies cartoon we've been publishing
for several months now. It's Ann Nesbit who farms
with her husband John just north of Blyth. We
welcome her contribution (page 46).
More from John DePutter - an article about crop
analyst Conrad Leslie and his views; a submission
by Mary Eadie, Holyrood on her Junior Farmer trip to
the British Isles and parts of Europe.
And much much more. Hope you enjoy reading
this issue as much as we enjoyed putting it
to-gether.
