The Rural Voice, 1998-02, Page 23reflect their interest in preserving aspects of rural heritage that are being lost in the fast -paced, rapidly - changing world of today. Wilma is a proficient and creative quilter and knitter, and her beautiful, useful handiworks are a reminder of the days past when folks were more resourceful in making clothing, bedding and gifts. In his spare time Arnie is restoring old tractors and has about a dozen Oliver 99 and W6's in Tike -new condition proudly parked in the drive shed next to the other machinery. But these souvenirs of the past are not gathering dust, for they can be seen drawing wagons down the road or on display at the local fair. One of the greatest contributions that a farming couple can make to the agricultural heritage of their community is to make it possible for the next generation to carry on the farming operation. Arnie and Wilma have encouraged and supported their son's interest in the farm since he was old enough to take an active role, and have made it possible for Randy and his wife Jennifer to assume much of the responsibility for the farm. By combining traditional farming practises the Woodhouses learned from their parents with their own experience, plus the new ideas that Randy and Jennifer brought to the farm from their college background, Arnie and Wilma have ensured that their dairy operation will continue to thrive for at least another generation. Friends, neighbours and family, including many of their grandchildren, gathered Sunday, December 14 ,at the Federation's Annual Dinner in Rocklyn for the presentation of the Agricultural Heritage Award. Presenting the engraved plaque, the Mayor of Euphrasia Township, Don McCausland congratulated the Woodhouses on receiving the award and noted that their achievements are an asset to the Township. In accepting the award the Woodhouses thanked the Federation, and stressed they were accepting the Award on behalf of the entire family, because without their support they would not have been able to accomplish so much.0 Maximize Your Forage!
