The Rural Voice, 1995-01, Page 5Cover
Winter. The countryside takes on a cold beauty.
And for farmers it is a time to take stock of the
past year and plan for the future. There are
dozens of meetings and conferences. And there
is more time to read, so this month we have a
series of
articles, from
Mery Erb's look
at future
commodity
prices, to
encouraging
words on
computers, to
let you think
ahead.

THE MAGAZINE OF THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
The search goes on for alternative crops that will yield a
better bottom line for farmers willing to take a chance on
them. Two years ago we interviewed Gordon Scheifele of
Ridgetown College when he talked about the potential for,
among other things, evening primrose. Today there are
600-800 acres of the crop in Ontario. This month he talks
to Ralph Pearce about two other "weeds" that might
become valuable crops. Page 22
