Farming becoming more attractive "How ya gonna keep 'am end of his working life, he is down on the farm?" goes the probably more willing to old refrain, but apparently accept his son as an equal keeping them on the farm is partner.

In this lifev as an alternative to way many graduates return congestion, bustle, traffic, to the family farm after a pollution, crime and other period of ten to fifteen years, city-related maladies. , Study for Garden Hill Alex Carruthers, M.P.P., Durham, announces that approval approval has been given for a Orono Weekly Times, July 23. 1975-5 provincial grant under the Conservation Authorities Act of $1,480.00 to the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority Authority to carry out a planning study in the Garden Hill Conservation Area. Among the 1975 graduates from the B.Sc. (Agr.) program program at the Ontario Agricultural Agricultural College 22 per cent will "go farming". This compares with 3 percent who went farming in the 1965 class. These figures come as a surprise to O.A.C. administrators. administrators. Mike Jenkinson, Assistant Assistant to the Dean, said "The program was never designed as a preparation for farming, but rather a preparation for graduate study, research, government work and agribusiness. agribusiness. I can't predict if the trend to farming will continue . . . we never predicted the current increases." The O.A.C. faculty is extremely pleased with this recent unforseen development. A further comparison of the two graduating classes indicates indicates a decline in the percentage percentage of graduates who go on to graduate school or into high school teaching. A relatively Constant proportion go into government and industry. Mike Jenkinson explained that these variations are due to two main factors. Ten years ago a degree graduate could go directly into teaching. teaching. Now he has to take a year at a college of education. Not many graduates are willing to forego a year of wage earning when there are many lucrative lucrative jobs available. Ten years ago graduate study presented a more attractive financial option. The graduate stipend was not much lower than first year Salaries for graduates. This year the graduate stipend stipend is about 20 percent higher than the 1965 level, but first year salaries have doubled and tripled. A number of degree graduates graduates who have worked ten years or so are now returning to farming. Farmjng requires such a capital investment that it is virtually impossible for a young graduate to plunge in unless he can step into an established (family) operation. operation. Some graduates who went into teaching and industry industry ten years ago have how bought small farms which they operate on a part-time basis while continuing to work full-time. Some will eventually eventually build up to a full-time farming operation and retire early to run the farm. Other graduates intend to return to the family farm, but only as a partner, not as the "hired help". Many a father looks on his recently graduated graduated son as a young, immature immature boy and is not ready to accept him as a partner. But ten years later, when the father is older and nearing the Federal Agricultural Minister Minister Eugene Whelan recently announced new policies for the Farm Credit Corporation which will help more young farmers get into farming. F.C.C. will provide assistance to men under 35 who are operating part-time farms and who can prove that they will, within five years, move into full-time farming. This new policy is significant because it recognizes that part-time farming is a bona fide "farm style". In addition, the Ontario government has programs to guarantee loans to young farmers for land and equipment purchases. Unlike the degree program, the diploma program was designed as a training course ; for prospective farmers, and ■ consequently a larger percentage percentage of diploma graduates ; "go farming". Neal Stoskopf, • Director of the Diploma Program, said that about 50 percent of the graduates go directly into farming and an additional 20 percent eventually eventually go back to the farm. The same factors operate here, with the father more willing to accept his son as an equal partner when the son is older. Professor Stoskopf feels that the Farmers' public image has improved tremendously tremendously in the last decade as marginal operators have been forced out of farming and the successful ones remain.
