News Huron federation plans to join plan to refuse municipal sludge Susan Hundertmark In yet another method to raise a stink about the cur- rent farm income crisis, Huron County farmers will be joining Perth County farmers in refusing to accept municipal sludge, which they have traditionally spread on their fields. "The intent would be to encourage this to be a province -wide action - that's the only way it becomes meaningful and effective," says Huron County Federation of Agriculture president Nick Whyte. The Perth Federation of Agriculture recently suggest- ed the move after the provin- cial budget failed to provide answers to the .farm income crisis and has involved close to a dozen federations across Ontario so far. By not accepting sewage sludge from municipalities, farmers could get municipal councils involved in the farm crisis protest. "What we're looking to do, with some level of despera- tion, is finding ways to bring pressure on the provincial government," says Whyte. "It's a little like the snow- mobiling issue - it's a ques- tion of looking for focal points," he says. Earlier in the year, local farmers blocked snowmobil- ers' access to the trails on their land as part of their protest about farm income, with hopes that snowmobil- ing enthusiasts would add their voices to the protest. Whyte says Huron farmers will be discussing local action at the next federation 'meet- ing Monday, April 24.

"There's no doubt that will be the next protest in the Huron -Perth areas and their surrounding urban centres. We can't expect farmers to leave their fields to protest right now so the easiest thing is denying urban centres the use of farmland for spreading their sludge," says Hill. Hill adds that possible future farm protests also include the disruption of the shipment of liquor to LCBO stores and a picket on the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor and Detroit, an idea which has already received approval in a resolution by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. "We'd hoped we'd never have to do any of it but as each week goes by with no help from the government, the discussed possibilities come closer to the top of the pile," says Hill. "Never have I seen farmers' resolve so strong," he says. Easter food bank donations top one ton in Seaforth Spsan Hundertmark - More than one ton of food was collected last week by the Seaforth and Area Food Bank. "The donations were better than usual. It was a busy week but a good week," says Angeline Swart, of the Seaforth Food Bank. Donations included 850 pounds from Curves in Clinton, five boxes of food from Town and Country Homemakers, which held a food drive last week and a vanload of food from St. Anne's secondary school in Clinton after a 24-hour fast by students. "It took us an hour and a half to unload the van - there was a lot," says Swart. Also a load of food was picked up from the Seaforth Agricultural Society after a luncheon held at the Ag and Water Festival last week, which had leftovers of bags of apples, onions, turnips, tomatoes and peppers. Saturday's food bank display at the town hall also resulted in a bucket full of food and a $51 donation. Swart says Easter can be a busier time of year at the food bank. "We all like to do something special for our families during the holidays and people in need are no differ- ent," she says. She says numbers in April have been higher than the last several months with 73 families and 240 individu- als using the Seaforth food bank.
