Agriculture minister Opposes Site 41 by Scott Anderson Staff Writer Ontario's Minister of Agriculture is opposed to the use of farmland for a landfill site in Tiny Township, he told reporters last week. On a stopover at a dairy farm near Wyebridge, Jack Riddell said he is opposed to the use of agricultural land for uses that cannot be 'Sustified."'

A Foodland Preservation act to protect farmlands facing the threat of such development will be in- troduced later this fall, he said. This act would keep good agricultural land in production, and land will only be taken out of pro- duction if there is good reason. Although concern was expressed that it was dif- ficult for farmers to find, and keep, good hired help, Riddell said there was no need to expand educa- tional facilities in the pro- vince. He said the post secondary schools were providing good, "'practical education," and that there were three jobs for every Excellent Topsoil, Fertilizer, etc. Effective September 15th Open Daily 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Closed on Wednesday Good Selection of Perennials available throughout year Senior Citizens - 10% Discount Monday, Tuesday throughout year Holt's Greenhouses and Garden Centre Hwy. #27, 4 miles south of Elmvale 322-2389 Don't miss The Barnboard's 6th Annual ; Seafood Extravaganza SEPT. 22nd waitin rechhe student concentrating in agriculture.
