Guest Speaker
"You enhance the unage of agriculture
by your contributions," Mr. Daily said in
praise of the award recipients.
Mr. Daily, who is the farm -business
editor for CFPL television in London; was
at the meeting to speak about the news
media and whether they help or hinder
the promotion of agriculture and other
agricultural concerns.
"Image is everything," he stated m his
opening remarks.
A good image, he said, is one of the
•
best ways to promote agriculture This
can be accomplished through appearance.
self -promotion or comrnunit\ involve-
ment. such as the award recipients. Mr
Daily said the news media will reportthe
positive and tne negative stories. As az.
example ot poor sell -promotion, ne cited
the fact there was no milk at the dinner
which was billed a feast of Huron Comi-
ty. "1'm always amused when I go to at
agriculture meeting and there's no milk.'

Another sore point 1.7 trio apathy sus -
rounding agricnitura i 'organizations
It's a shame there s only 65 people in
the room when there snould be 500...but
this is common air over (the province` ••
Mr.`Daily noted
According to Mr. Dail}, some of the
problems•with agricultural reports in the
media are rack or issuance. n: stories.
statistics are not put in context and fac-
tual errors. Air unbaianceu story could
result Iran. u reporters lack .of
agricultural experience or personal.bias
which enters a store. Agricultural related
statistics can be misleading if they are
not put in context ii -e. there are no other
statistics to compare there with;. Basical-
ly, Mr. Daily said, statistics can be us-
ed to prove ,lust about anything you want,
He then .referred to a study which said 40
per cent of media reports have one or
more factual error:;. The mistakes could
be s mtsspelled name or an incorrect
figure
To combat inaccurate, or biased
agriculture report: , Mr. Daily suggested
that one ot the hest ways to respond is
to write a letter to the editor. Or, ask the
editor if you can write a guest editorial.
You don't have to be a farm leader, Mr
Daily said, it just takes an articulate
individual

PARENTS 'NIG=lT and OPEN HOUSE
Touching on some agricultural related
problems, M:. Daily said tnat marketing
boards are the single most thorny issue
For most of you the issue 1.1 black ana

is grey to me, One example ne used to
show the conflir: whit' surround'
marketing boards are cattle, owners. Hi

sumers The. despite government ap-

You may not like the ,government., Mr
.Daily' said, out you elected tneri, - who
are you going to believe:,. Provigu or the
government. He adaed tnat the intent of
the supermarkets is 'dubious since the
U.S, markets are tied t0 the manufacture
