AMY A CAN Sate PERR Y STAR -- Wed., December 3, 1980 -- 25 Durham re reps attend Federation meeting Durham Federation of Agriculture was represented by an eight man delegation at the Ontario Federation of Agriculture convention in Toronto November 25th to 27th. In addition to the provincial director, Mr. Merrill Van Camp, Durham East was represented by Gordon Barrie of Bowman- ville, Lawrence McLaughlin and Walter Wright of Black- stock. The Durham West part of the delegation was made up of John Noble and Grant Mustard of Uxbridge -and Brian DeGeer of Mount Albert along with the provin- cial director Richard Winter of Pickering. The theme of the three day convention was Opportunity. Ralph Barrie, president of OFA, in his address pointed out many of the challenges facing agriculture today and the opportunities for the improvement of the industry that their successful hand- ling presents. He called 1980 a good year for OFA. Membership is up by 6.5 per cent over last year. Among the major achievements he listed the Petty Trespass and Occupiers Liability Act which has finally been intro- duced after many years of pressing for it. Also on the major list was the provincial government program to pro- vide 25 to 30 million dollars in interest rate assistance to farmers on a more individ- ual level the field staff answered over 1000 requests for help on a wide variety of problems, and the property and legal department handled over 600 complaints with a success rate of over 75 per cent. Much of the time of this convention was spent on the political leg of the agricul ture triangle, the other two being production and marketing. It is a fact of life that political decisions have as much or more effect on the well being of the industry as the other two.
