Farmers Can Cali on Farm Labor Pool for Help Local farmers who need crews for such jobs as picking tobacco, apples or just general farm maintenance work are able to draw from the resources of the Canada Farm Labor Pool in Bowmanville. By Carlene Klrby More than 1,200 people have' been placed on farms in Northumberland - Durham over the past three months by the Canada Farm Labor Pool. For five years tbis pool has operated out of a head office in Cobourg run by Leo McDonald, with a brancb office in Bowmanville for the past four' years, staffed by Mrs. Dianna Green and Joseph Cuddahee. Many of the workers in this pool, funded by the federal government, are referred to the office by Canada Manpower for placement, as the manpower office does not place farmn crews. Mr. Cuddahee said that bis route stretches from Highway 28 in Port Hope to Victoria County, and that the pool will send crews as far as Pickering and Ashburn. While a few farmers, such as the tobacco farmers ask for people with some experience with the crop, most of the crews receive on-the-job training. In the sunimer montbs most of the crews are made up of students, with a nuniber of the people involved ranging from age 14 into retirement. The farmers cail in when they feel that they need help and the Farm Labor Pool sends crews out for tobacco, apples, strawberries (when in season), hayîng in the spring, and even for help on beef farms with the feeding and cleaning. Some of the farms provide board for the crews when they are harvesting, and pay their crews anywhere from minimum wage, ($3 an! hour) to $33 a day for tobacco. Farmers provide insurance for crews, however each individual is responsible_ for his or her own OHIP coverage. Currently the pool bas a group of 48 laborers in from New Brunswick, wbo are boarded on area farms. These people will study the farming methods used in Ontario before returning home. one of, the greatest problems for the Canada Farm Labor Pool is automation. Mac Frew, wbo grows 265 acres of tobacco and employs' over 80 men just north of Port Hope, bas recently purchased a combine which can be run with just a driver. This machine witb one driver will do in one hour, the work of six men in three bours. With tobacco finishing for the season and apples coming up, the Pool located on Division- Street in Bowmanville will be kept busy for some months before the snow falîs. A worker can be placed on any number of crews throughout the year depending on each season.
