CFFO Says New Strategies Are Needed

The Christian Farmers' Federation of Ontario says it's time to change tactics to keep farming in the government's eyes.

According to the group, in the first time in over fifty years, rural Ontarians are not represented by the reigning political party.  CFFO officials say rural ridings did not play a role in the final result.

In the group's weekly commentary, the CFFO states there needs to be a new strategy because protests won't work.

The CFFO says all groups have to work as a team for the betterment of the industry.
