Neil, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture is the President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture for Durham East. He spoke on "Agriculture in Crisis" and dealt with problems facing farmers of today. He showed a movie entitl- ed, "Behind the Barn Door", which was humorous but as well, explained some of the farmers concerns. For example, the need for Day Care for rural areas, pro- blems of free trade, getting reliable workers and a decline in the numbers of enrollment in the Agricultural field. Afterwards, a question and answer period followed. The Unit members wish to thank Neil for his informative talk..which tied in so nicely with the Theme for this year..Creation in Crisis.
