Thank you.
Now I want to read another quote. I want to help my colleagues understand why farmers in the area might be somewhat concerned.
Here's another quote, and this is from Friends of the Rouge Watershed general manager Jim Robb, in a Toronto Star column from November 25, 2012:
Parts of the Rouge Valley have been occupied by farmers since the 19th century. But Robb says many farm operations are becoming bigger and more intensive, and therefore stand in the way of restoring the Rouge to a more natural state. “It's not a park; it's an industrial farm,” Robb said. “The interests of a few...are being put above the interest of the public and the interest of the environment.”
What do your farmers think when they hear a quote like that, saying that you're nothing but a bunch of industrial farmers and that your interests are somehow being put above the interests of millions of other people? How do farmers react to such a quote?
