HCFA - Presidents Remarks.
March 1983 - Tony McQuail
Huron and Perth Federation held a successful Directors
Seminar in February. Ralph Barrie, OFA President, was a
speaker and the next day he put in a full morning at CKNX.
Afterward, I was driving Ralph out to the Howick-Turnberry
Annual Meeting when a pickup truck passed a feed truck on
the right shoulder and sheared off the front of Ralph's car. No
one was hurt and OFA members on their way to the meeting
gave us a hand getting there. We forgot to plug OFA's Farm
Family Group Life Insurance program. However, if we'd been
stopped about 10 feet further ahead my wife might well be the
beneficiary of our policy. I'm glad she's not but I am also glad
that our Federation has taken the initiative to develop good
group insurance programs for farmers and their families.
I have recently had the opportunity to read "Men of the
Soil" which traces the history of the Dufferin County
Federation of Agriculture. It is an interesting and informative
account, helpful in appreciating the problems which farmers
have overcome in the past forty years. I believe our history
can be a great aid in understanding the present and in setting
goals for the future. I think we in the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture would find a pamphlet of our history
valuable. If you know of the county federation's history please
take a few minutes and write it down. If you would enjoy
helping with such a project contact me or our secretary, Carol
Finch. Not only could such a history help us remember what
we have done, it can help remind us of what we should be
doing.
We are setting up a financial advisory service to help
farmers in our area who are having difficulty dealing with their
creditors or who would like some assistance in exploring their
options. This program will be operated with volunteers and we
are looking for people to help. If you would like help from the
financial advisory service you can contact Merle Gunby
(529-7610).
I hope your spring seeding goes well.
