The 1986 resolution, dubbed the "Grenville" after the county of its origin, committed the federation to pushing for a marketing plebiscite among red meat producers and aroused protest from some commodity groups. Lynn Fielder, a delegate from Bruce County at the 1987 annual, said that the OFA had "skated for a year on the origi- nal resolution and it was time to show everyone that the OFA is not wishy- washy." Gordon Hill When the new resolution was de- feated, Varna area farmer Gordon Hill, a former president of the OFA, said that it is important that farmers work together, strong and united, because the OFA is vital to all farmers m Ontario. Roger George, newly elected first vice-presi- dent of the OFA, said farmers must be "concerned with the programs we share, rather than the products that divide us." EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS Doug Garniss of R.R. 4, Wingharn was elected as an executive director of the OFA. Garniss, a Morris township farmer, is immediate past -president of the Huron County Federation of Agri- culture and is regional director for Huron East Central (Morris, Hullett, (cont'd)
