He cites wishing to spend time with his wife and five children, aged one to 11, as one of the reasons for his decision. He also suffered a setback when barns on a farm he planned to buy near New Liskeard burned down last month. "It's time for me to move on, but I hope to God somebody else does sur- face," he says, adding that he fears that the energy to tackle the farm financial crisis may be dissipating.0 CALL LINE HELPS FARMERS Staff at Agriculture Canada's Pesti- cides Call Line report that they an- swered close to 4,000 enquiries in 1986, and expect at least 6,000 this year. Farmers account for nine per cent of total enquiries. Those in agribusiness also call regularly. They often want to know which products are available to control a particular pest or have ques- tions about the compatibility of insecti- cides with herbicides or fungicides. The number of the toll-free line is 1- 800-267-6315.0
