St. Thomas. Dennis England, Huron
Park, spent the past week with them.
"What do you mean when you say
farmers are different?" said our
house guest. "I read your column
every week and 1 do not understand
why farmers should be treated dif-
ferent from anybody else.
"Why should taxpayers be subsidiz-
ing them'.' If they can't stay in
business without government help.
then let them go broke like any other
businessman." -.
She hasa point, of course. Why
should farmers be getting so much
government largesse when other
businessess are going belly up'.' It is
almost impossible to get an accurate
figure what with the various loans and
subsidies in so many programs but it
has been estimated that every farmer
in Canada is getting around $8.500 a
year from senior governments. pro-
bably' more in hard-hit areas.
I know some students qio would
give their jawbone and talk/with their
hands to get a loan that Targe.
How do you argue with people when
they show disgust at the handouts
given to agriculture?
It is not easy but is possible.
The old arguments about big loans
to big business holds some water.
Ford and Chrysler came to govettn-
ments, hats -in -hand, for help and they
were offered help. A few other in-
dustries are 'being propped up by
governments and farmers are in just
as great a need. If others gel it, why
not farmers?
But there is another, greater reason
for helping agriculture. Only now are
some members of government realiz-
ing it. Only now are some churches
and social organizations realizing it.
Food is life -engendering. Food is
not just another consumer product
like toilet paper or facial tissue or
,footballs or T,shirts or shoes. Food
gives us life and energyy. Food allows
us to live healthy, prosperous lives
with a standard of living among the
highest in the world.
Food. therefore, is different from -
any other product.
And farmers are different. -
It is not just another business ex-
perience for them. It is a way of life.
It is. to lovers of the land, a calling
which is just as important as a call to
serve God. It is, in fact, almost as
sacred to some farmers because they
feel they are stewards of God's land.
1 have never been a full-time
farmer. In our little hobby farm
where we now keep only the old.
buckskin mare, the thrill of leaving
her. munching on hay at night is
-unforgettable.
When that old horse nuzzles me and
snorts a welcome in the t4iorning at
feeding time, I feel closer to God than
I have ever felt in church. Magnify
that feeling many times for a full-time
farmer whose stock is contentedly
feeding in a barn full to the roof
rafters and you will get an idea of how •
farmers feel about their way of life.
To deprive people 01 their calling.
to callously allow them to be forced
off the land, is unconscionable. Even
more tragic is the fact that many all
ready forced out of business are the'
young, -innovative farmers who will
be sorely missed imyear-s taeome.
Senior governments have decide•
to help and I do not think too many
people in Canada will begrudge the
help.
This 'is what I said to our house
guest last weekend and 1 think she got •
a glimmer of understanding before
she left for her big -city home. She has
never. in her entire life, set foot in a
farmyard. She has always lived in an.
apartment. Her biggest garden has
been a window box on a balcony. In
54 years, she has never owned even
a cat and knows nothing of the
warmth of raising animals. Her best
"crop" consisted of eight geraniums.
-It took some explaining but I think -
. she• understood. Too had all- city
dwellers could not get the same. ser-
mon. Too bad for farmers.
