Clinton News-Record, 1977-03-24, Page 17.r Farmer says `.B.S. to saving farmland Trying to save farm land is a "bunch of B.S." the Huron - Perth Shorthorn Club told local members of parliament recently-. „ "We are fed up with all this B.S. that we should save farm land, we feel it should be sold to the highest bidder," Frank Falconer, representative of the club said. "I feel myself there is too much land" he told Bob McKinley, *Huron MP, Murray Gaunt, Huron -Bruce MPP, and . Jack Riddell, Huron'-Middle.sex MPP. The Shorthorn club's presentation was part of an afternoon of briefs by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture and affiliated ti commodity groups to Local members of parliament at Clinton. Mr. Falconer said farmers should not have to carry the burden of saving farm land when urban people aren't even concerned. "Town people, simply don't care for us," he said. "They won't even slow down to let us crossthe road." MPP Jack Riddell disagreed saying it was important to keep a viable farm industry in Canada. He said if farm land wasn't r 1111 protected, Canada could find herself dependent on other countries for food imports. "Surely we do not want to find ourselves at the mercy of countries that can produce food cheaper than we can now. We could soon find ourselves paying a lot more." The proposed reform of property taxation also came under fire at the meeting by various commodity groups. Bert Elliot of the Huron County Cream Producers said `land should be taxed for education, but people should pay for services t0 people". "If the government paid all land taxes, we would lose control of our land, and would soon be told what to grow, and where to grow It," he said. MPP Murray Gaunt said the Blair Commission's recommendation tat the government pay 90 pereerit of the land tax and the farmer pay 10 percent "is no better than the original proposal." "I don't think the Blair Commission has resolved it at all. The Federation and members have to be pressing from now on to make sure the government doesn't come in with it. I think we should oppose it right down the line," News of Hensall By Hilda M.
