Education and knowledge are passwords in farming today and
our feature story on animal health technician Chris Lipohar
touches on that point. Chris, a graduate of Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology has a rewarding but demanding job
working in a research laboratory at the University of Western
Ontario, doing research work with animals.
On the subject of education, Centralia College offers an array
of courses in continuing education available to farmers or any
interested person - - see outline on page 29.
Back to health, just what shape are farmers in? A recent study
on 106 dairy farmers in Wellington county shows farmers are
more fit than urbanites, but maybe that's not saying too much.
And do you know of any farmer that doesn't have back
problems?
Brenda McIntosh, a member of the Huron Federation
executive who is also on the Farm Credit Corporation Advisory
Board presented a thought-provoking talk to the Seaforth
Institute recently - - about farmers, farming, marketing boards
and farm organizations. We managed to get hold of a copy and
printed it on page 9. She brings up a lot of valid points and
we thought you'd be interested in reading it.
And more. Rabbit recipes in the Rural Living section, lots of
news and advice and a list of books all about farming that you
might like to read when you get snowed in this winter.
