Writer Alice Gibb checks this out and finds they are actually working on four very vital projects for our benefit. Machinery repairs have to be done and now is a good time when machine shops are looking for work and have the time to do them and when you have the time to take a look at your farm equipment. Better now than in the spring. See our feature on pages 24 and 25. We've added another page of new products and services available to farmers under the title of "What's New?" When we get new releases of this nature, we'll pass them on to you. A real selection this month. Trakehner horses, Grey Bruce Farmers Week, Wills, Part II; chain saw basics and some book reviews on commodity marketing. Farmers seem to be lucky, in some ways. They have a wealth of information at their finger tips, through OMAF, government releases, seminars, interesting meetings and knowledgeable guest speakers.
