One important one being the Co-Conference in Ottawa, last February, where 1200 farmers from across Ontario gathered together to express their dissatisfaction in the Food Strategy Conference the next day, and studied at the work- shops, and at least ten of the Federations recommen- dations were adopted.

The answers received will be summarized and published in a later edition, letting members know how the rest of the farmers feel. The next topic for discussion will be the government subsidies. That will appear in your Novem- ber Management Digest. The government compu- terized service to farmers, Can Farm, has recently been cut from the Federal budget.
