[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 196830, member: 2830"] Interesting comments. We also got tired of all of the politics - and lack of programs at the local leverl - so wife ran for -and was elected to the board. She has been on it for about three years. Politics is a natural part of any elected body. In order to truly affect any changes one has to get involved and stay involved. Otherwise it becomes a meaningless exercise. So, if you are tired of it - imagine how many others are as well. Take a run and make your changes. Sooner or later - it is a matter of time - you will be voted out - but while you are involved you can make your time a valuable contribution. New programs under the new regime here: 1. Expanded youth program. 2. Heavy political lobbying at the provincial and federal level. 3. Local initiatives to assist producers to plan their marketing strategies. 4. Free advice on how to sell out the farm gate. 5. Stratgeies for vaccination that fits YOUR specific herd. 6. Continual consultation with a couple of excellend and involved veterinarians. 7. Mobile weigh scales for the small producer. Members get charged 10 bucks to weigh the first 30 animals - buck a piece for the remainder. The operators are volunteers - I know because I am one of the volunteers. Our expenses are covered buy the local org. 8. Annual seminars on better management practices for the new producer. 9. New and improved news letter that passes on ideas and legislation changes in a timely manner. 10. Group liability insurance at a killer price. And a bunch more that have escaped me at this time. All of the above and more for a 10 buck annual fee. All because a few folks decided to get involved. It works if you get involved - and you certainly pick up a bunch of great new ideas by meeting with folks every couple of months at the local get togethers. Bez! [/QUOTE]
