"I can't visualize Ontario not having a dairy industry, especially when we have the numberone system in the world that everybody wants," he adds. Free trade may be threatening the industry, Pringle says, but he believes that the dairy industry will be stable for a few years at least. Nevertheless, he's not making any big plans to expand or build a new barn. Pringle also notes that milk produc- tion and marketing must be geared to meeting the changing needs of the con- sumer. "We have to be conscious of the consumer, and what he or she wants," he says. The Grey County Milk Committee is made up of eight members with two representatives from each of three zones and two at large within the county. Between five and seven meetings are held each year in addition to the annual meeting, which the 320 county milk producers are encouraged to attend. Pringle owns a 35 -cow dairy herd on his farm southwest of Chatsworth. He is also president of the Grey County Hol- stein Club.O
