joining an ,organization.Th remedy for farmera, is
qu' simple. All the National
F rimers' Union has ever eked
is a cost of production plus a "
pr 't, thereby eliminating the
lows d highs in prices of farm
products, would assure a
continuous supply of produce
and be better for consumers
and producers.
-Nick Hill, Huron County
planner as guest. of Local 335
,gave an interesting outline of
he Huron County Plan at
Brookside School on April 8,
and answered many questions.
Mr. Hill - assured those
present that the official plan
recognizes that the mostkimpor
tent land use in Duron County
' is agriculture: This . concurs
with the N.F.U. land use policy ,
as presented' to the Huron
County Development Commit-
tee on March 26 in Goderich,
Mr. Hill alsoo stated that On-
tario Hydro cannot build a
nuclear plant, without An arnen'-
dment to the Plan: District 5. of
the N.F.U. have - vofed to op-
pose a nuclear plant south on
Lake Huron. -
Somepoints of the land use
policy of the N.F.U. members of
Huron County are to promote a
"Land use" program that will`s
ensure good productive land in
Huron County is not devoured,
but, is fsreserved ' for future -
generations.
B. 7
Where particular areas are.
especially favourable to
rowing unique crops' it iay
even be necessary to have 'zero
growth of urban development.
Mr. Hill said that later in the
fall' public meetings will be
held pertaining to the official
plan in Ashfield Township, rt is ...0
vitally`important that everyone
participate in these meetings.
, "We must put land use in its
proper perspective, whether,it
is for production of fod,
recreation or urban develop-
ment"; he said.
Barring exceptional scientific
break-throughs farm union
members believe that the foun-
dation of food production will
continue to be farm land. -
