2 THE RURAL VOICE
EDITOR'S DESK
Most farmers are likely to get
discouraged sometimes, wondering
why they work so hard and temporar-
ily losing sight of what rural life really
means. 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
