But they need only to turn to the kids in the neighbourhood. The young people know. And this month in the pages of The Rural Voice they tell us all. They tell us about their joys, their sorrows, their wishes, and their love of land and family. They tell us funny stories and they also grapple with the hard issues like technology and environmental degradation. Most of all, they tell us about their hope and energy. At The Rural Voice we thank all of the entrants in our I1 th annual competition, and we think you will too. They're all winners, and in the coming issues we'll be featuring some of the work we couldn't squeeze in this month. I'd also like to draw attention to our newsletter pages this month. The Bruce County Federation of Agriculture's "Opinion" series again addresses a vital issue: BST and the dairy industry. The BCFA asks some pointed questions that dairymen everywhere should be thinking about. And the Rainy River Federation of Agriculture, following Bruce County's lead, has completed its own survey of the attitudes of farmers to agricultural policy questions. Communication among farmers across Ontario, and Canada for that matter, is essential, and every effort toward evaluation and consensus on the issues can only be positive.0
