Survey of Harassment
and Unjust Practises of Creditors
It has been brought to the attention of the Bruce County
Federation of Agriculture that farmers are suffering from
more than financial difficulties. They are being harassed.
This means that undue pressures are applied to individuals
by their creditors which affect their emotional or physical
ability to run their business.
The Bruce County Federation of Agriculture recognizes
the position of the creditors but questions some of the
methods employed by individual personnel. We feel that
these practices are unjust and intend to investigate them.
To do this, we need your help. The following questionnaire
is important so please fill it out, and whether you wish to
sign or not is your choice.
