F arm Sustainability vital Continued from page 14 We are pleased to have Noel McNaughton come and describe this approach which can take farmers from crisis management to planned profit." McNaughton grew up on a farm in Alberta and has been running Holistic Resource Management workshops on the Prairies. He said "If quality of life and sustainability are important to you, Holistic Management will show you how to achieve both. TUESDAYS THURSDAYS FRIDAYS 887-6461 "Profit is essential in running a business, but it isn't enough by itself to provide a fulfilling life for the people involved. It is also clear that a profit made at the expense of the ecosystem is false economy. Holistic Management includes both these critical issues, and still'allows you to plan a profit."
