Given this growing concern over our resources, both on the part of farmers and the general public, and given that National Soil Conservation Week was observed in April and National Forestry Week is scheduled for May, The Rural Voice focuses this month on conservation, a subject that ranges from conservation tillage to agro-forestry and the Great Lakes clean-up. In honour of spring and lambing season and a growing agricultural sector, we also look at the sheep industry. Mary -Lou Weiser -Hamilton interviews Judy Miller, a Grey County shepherd and sheep shearer in partner- ship with her brother, Doug, and Andrew Dixon of Ailsa Craig remem- bers the sheep flock on a traditional farm. Those memories include a lively tale of a young boy's encounter with a justifiably bad-tempered ram. And despite its being the busy season when farmers and agribusiness personnel are working double time, there have been a number of meetings and news events. Plus we have gardening information in our Rural Living department, a contribution from 17 -year-old Jo Anne Wilhelm in our Notebook department (her speech for a 4-11 contest about farm life), and some timely advice in our regular advice section.0 GIC as o1 April 28, 1987 BEST RATE /ZEDIVESTMENTS FINANCIAL CENTRE GODERICH 524-2773 1.800.265-5503 AGR/ SERV/CES • FEED AND FORAGE ANALYSIS • SOIL TESTING • WATER TESTING • MANURE ANALYSIS • PLANT TISSUE ANALYSIS • MICROBIOLOGY RESULTS GUARANTEED IN 5 DAYS OR YOU DON'T PAY!
