Farmers rarely get a break. To operate a farm is a 24/7/365 job. Besides running their operation, the men and women who provide us with our food daily also spend time lobbying politicians at all levels of government.
On today’s show, Northumberland Federation of Agriculture President Allan Carruthers outlines some of the challenges local farmers face. He will talk about the carbon tax, legislation stalled in the Senate, and local efforts to keep good agricultural lands in Northumberland County out of the hands of developers. If you ate today, then you will want to hear this interview.
Next, you will hear from Adam McCue, associate director of operations at Northumberland County. He is Northumberland County’s recycling guy.
Last month, a major change occurred regarding the local recycling program. He will tell us about that change.
