Alternate Energy and the Family Farm Symposium
Join us on Tuesday, November 16 for a public Symposium to discuss "Alternate Energy and The Family Farm". The Symposium will feature Don McCabe, OFA Vice-President followed by a panel discussion moderated by Martin Vanderwoude from KICX 106.
At this symposium, we wish to show the vibrancy of the agricultural community from the prospective of the local producers, the local farm supply dealers, the interested political leaders and the community leaders.
We also want to bring into the discussion, other interests such as suppliers of microFit stations, the developers of larger solar Fit facilities and the local community voice.
We believe that with discussion and openness, our community can be a model for co-operation between the agricultural, food producing interests and the movement into green energy and as such show the provincial government that local organizations can successfully offer concrete possibilities to society.
Join us at the Simcoe County Museum, Hwy 26 in Midhurst; Tuesday November 16, 2010 beginning at 6:30 pm. To reserve a seat, please call the SCFA at 705-726-9300 Ext. 1224. Download the flyer.

Resolution by the Simcoe County Federation of Agriculture
Resolution
Whereas the Preservation of farmland is important to farmers,
Whereas we consider large scale solar energy developments on good farmland inappropriate,
Whereas there are concerns of soil erosion, baked soil, disrupted carbon and nitrogen fixing, uncertainties of lease agreement details, and un-bonded construction projects,
Therefore Be It Resolved that the Simcoe County Federation of Agriculture request the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to prepare an assessment, such as was done for the Wind Leases, listing possible risks and liabilities.
