n a6 tribune february 8 1989 editors mail farmer replies dear editor i wish to comment on regional chairman gary herremas response and councillor rick johnsons opinion published in the feb l edition of the tribune i have lived and fanned at the same pickering location since 1936 first as an owner and for the last 17 years as a tenant of the federal government i agree the farm buildings have depreciated since ex propriation because ottawa has refused to spend money on main taining these structures but an agricultural slum no more land is being farmed and more land is being farmed better than before expropriation its also producing more i ask you mr herrema what constitutes an agricultural slum councillor johnson i feel is a poor judge of agricultural land if he classes the area as
