Farmers must join decision makers
The following is an address
to the annual convention of
the Ontario Federation of
agriculture by retiring
president Peter Hannam.
"Farmers must become
involved in the decision
making which shape social
and economic policy. We
must continue to get out and
tell the consumer, the
politician, the civil servant,
the businessman and all
those who influence policy,
just how important farming
is to this country. The
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture has become a
powerful voice for Ontario's
farmers. We must be
organized, we must be well
financed, we must have the
research and we must have
the skills to make our voice
heard.

Pride 2206 is a stand -out
Once in a while a seed corn
hybrid comes along whose consis-
tent performance makes it stand
out from the crowd. A dual pur-
pose variety. Pride 2206 is a good
example.
One of the most widely recom-
mended varieties on the market
today, Pride 2206 has become a
consistent best-seller.
Its high level of seedling vigor
gets this outstanding single cross
off to a good start.
2206 is a medium tall plant with
excellent stalk strength, while its
exceptionally high yields have
made it highly desirable as a dual
purpose variety in the 2850 CHU
areas.
Doug Lightfoot of Crediton.
Ontario has good experience with
2206 and praised the variety's
'excellent standability' in yielding
over 150 bushels per acre.
J.P. Klassen of Port Rowan.
Ontario had a yield of 191.4
bushels per acre and commented,
"This hybrid offers excellent yield
and test weight plus easy com-
bining."

continue to be a problem.
Even the decision as to what
to produce and when is being
taken out of our hands.
Decisions at Queen's Park,
or increasingly by urban -
dominated municipal
councils, now dictate
whether or not we can
produce livestock, whether
or not we can expand; and
even the hours we can work
in our fields.
As the pressures from
change grow in the 1980's,
there will no doubt be at-
tempts by some few farmers
to operate in a way that we
cannot condone. We must be
cautious that those few do
not spoil the industry for the
rest of us.
We, as a total farm
community, must be con-
cerned that farming prac-
tices do not cause un-
necessary pollution and that
our record remains clean;
that the food we produce
continues to be wholesome
and safe for our customers
as it has been for decades;
and that all our farming
practices are responsible
practices, yet practical and
based on common sense.
One of the discussion
papers at this convention,
replacing the Code of
Practice, proposes that we
become involved in defining
what acceptable farming
practices are, and in
mediating complaints
against farmers. The
alternative to us policing our
own industry, will be more
and more controls imposed
on us by people more con-
cerned with recreation,
housing and various side
issues than they are with the
production of food. If we can
prove our responsibility,
then we will be listened to
more seriously when we hit
hard on the problems facing
farmers.
We must attack inflation,
because it is crippling us
with increased costs. We are
predicting that the inflation
rate may well be over 10
percent and in addition, we
will be paying 25 percent
more for drainage tiles, 12 to
18 cents more per gallon for
gasoline, diesel fuel, and
heating oil, and at least 15
percent more for fertilizer.
Prices in the future will go
still higher, but there is little
corresponding prospect of
prices for our products
keeping pace.
We must object to the
damage that unprecedented
high interest rates are
causing in our industry, and
we must demand that
alternatives be found, or that
the agriculture industry is
shielded from the full impact
of these senselessly high
rates, just as farmers in
other countries are.
We must continue to find
more markets for our farm
products. This involves
continuing to fight for fairer
trade rules, to undertake
programs to have our food
replace imported food and to
increase our export market
efforts.
We must ensure farmers
will have assured supplies of
fuel at reasonable prices.

November 22 the
McGillivray girls' volleyball
team fought to victory to win
the McGillivray School in-
vitational volleyball tour-
nament. Adelaide, West
Williams and East Williams
fought McGillivray but to no
avail, McGillivray came up
undefeated.
The East Williams girls'
volleyball tournament was
held Saturday, December 1.
In the finals, McGillivray
girls were challenged by
Colborne School, Strathroy,
last year's winners.
McGillivray rose to the
challenge and defeated
Colborne 15 -12 in the final
game to win the cham-
pionship. Hurrah for
McGillivray girl's team,
their parents and coach Mrs..
Freer.
The area five volleyball
tournament was held at
Adelaide for the girls and at
East Williams for the boys,
Wednesday, December 5.
McGillivray boys finished
second when they lost to
East Williams in the
championship game.
McGillivray girls came out
on top by defeating Adelaide
fifteen - four in the final
game.
All of the players deserve
congratulations for their fine
spirit and play, but special
recognition goes to Martha
Mollard, Brenda Bullock,
Debbie Hughes, Cheryl
Lynn, Christine Markus,
Shannon McCallum, and
Lynne Rowe.
McGillivray's Christmas
concert is at 8:00 p.m. on
Thursday, December 20. The
concert will feature

oil in the key industry of
agriculture, will cripple
producers and will
jeopardize this country's
food supply.
There are many
challenges facing farmers in
the next decade. We must
take a positive attitude that
these problems will be
solved. This Convention will
make decisions that will
shape our industry all
through the 1 ! :0's.
I am confident that we will
face this heavy respon-
sibility head on and do
everything in our power to
make the food industry in
Ontario the most important
segment of our eceonomy.
