Neglect threatens productivity BY JACK RIDDELL Canadian complacency about the future of agriculture is jarred in this revealing book about the economic and environmental dangers of neglecting our most important resource - land. In this book Gary Fairbaird, commissioned by the Agricultural Institute of Canada, explores the problems and offers some suggestions to improve our future prospects. Productivity of land currently being farmed may be in jeopardy unless proper conservation methods are employed. This is effectively illustrated in the prairies, where organic matter which took 10,000 years to build up has been depleted by almost one-half in some areas, in only 70 years. Other factors which determine our land's productivity are erosion and farm practices such as summer fallow, which increase the extent to which erosion takes place. Concentrations of potato crops in the Maritimes and modern agricultural technology have been the soil's worst enemies. 39.

Lovingly remembered by Bill, Marie, your grand- children and great grandchildren --21 nx QUEEN'S PARK Fertilizers and pesticides both harm and help agriculture. Organic farming is an alternative, but also has its problems. The author suggests that more research is needed in pest control. If we curtail such research now, our options in the future may also be limited. One of the most insidious problems at hand is that of land use. Urban growth is gradually encroaching on rural land. Once housing and other developments are established on such land it is lost to agriculture forever. Why be concerned? "In 1930 federal authorities estimated that the nation had 142 million hectares of potential agricultural land. With that, one economist calculated Canada should support 250 million people. Today, however, we have less than one-half that amount of farm land in production supporting one- tenth of that potential population." After closer study scientists have found that Canada has only 42,000 square kilometres of Class 1 farmland. Class 1 soils have no significant cropping limits. Class 2 soils are limited in the types of crops they can support or require special conservation practices.. Class 3 soils have moderately severe limits, and Class 4 soils have severe limits. Class 1, 2, and 3 soils are considered prime foodlands. Almost all Canadian cities have sprung up on productive agricultural areas and present expansion consumes even more good quality farm land. "Over a third of Canada's Class 1 land is within two hours' drive of the centre of Toronto, and more than one-half is within one hour's drive of some major metropolitan centre.`' Climactic conditions as well greatly affect the productivity of soils in various regions in Canada. Urbanization is posing a threat to the Niagara fruit belt, the best in Canada for growing fruit such as peaches, pears, and cherries. There are many 'underlying economic forces contributing to these problems. Solutions will not be easy. The future of agriculture in Canada is in our hands. We must act now to make farming economical, provide farmers with a stable income, increase agricultural research, and turn research discoveries to practical use. Our urban society must begin to develop a conservationist' philosophy. A better understanding could be gained of agricultural issues through education. "The costs for such efforts can be steep, but as previous chapters have made clear, the profits for society as a whole are large." We have a long way to go. We must take that first step.

Cattlemen say they have been betrayed by government "Every cattleman that I have talked to in the past few days feels that he has been betrayed by the Federal Government", said Gerhard Schickedanz in response to press reports that Ottawa has offered the EEC an additional 17 million pounds of quota for ex- port subsidized beef. The exports subsidy has been documented and acknowledged by the Federal Govern- ment as being $.38 per pound on product valued at approximately $1.25 per pound in the Canadian market. While no official jstatement has been made by the Federal Government on revising import quotas, the media stories have not been denied. "In December, our Federal Government made a commitment to our industry by using the Beef Import Act to limit beef imports in 1985 Festal Singers to perform 47.

If the media reports are true, they have reneged on the commitment. They have pulled the rug, from under our feet and we are very upset," said Schickedanz. He went on to say, "A month ago I wrote to every Ontario MP explaining the situa- tion and seeking their support for the original commitment. I have received many sympathetic responses from MP's and 1 want to thank them for the support which they gave us on this issue.
