SUMMARY:Farmers Matter to Host Election Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Farmers Matter encourages farmers to engage politicians, l
 earn platforms and vote for the party that best supports agriculture\n
 Farmers Matter will host an election version of its Town Hall meeting 
 out of the Stratford Rotary Complex in Stratford, Ontario on Thursday 
 April 21, 2011 from 1:00p.m. to 3:00p.m.\nFollowing on the heels of la
 st November's phenomenally successful Town Hall Meeting with the Honou
 rable Ralph Goodale and the Honourable Wayne Easter among local MPP's,
  farm organization representatives, and over 800 audience members, thi
 s meeting will do what Farmers Matter does best: raise awareness as to
  the importance of Canadian agriculture.\nWith 22 seats up for grabs i
 n southwest Ontario, Wayne Easter, Liberal Agriculture & Agri-food Cri
 tic, will be at the Town Hall to present Canada's Liberal Party agricu
 ltural platform.\nThe Town Hall will offer attendees the opportunity t
 o ask Mr. Easter questions concerning the Liberal party's direction re
 garding risk management programs, inter-provincial trade, food safety 
 and labeling, and the sustainability of Canadian agriculture. Perth-We
 llington Liberal candidate Bob McTavish will also be attending, along 
 with fellow Liberal candidates from adjoining rural ridings. Farmers M
 atter is encouraging farmers and consumers alike to sign their on-line
  pledge (www.farmersmatter.ca/petition) indicating they will vote for 
 the party that best supports agriculture.\nFarmers Matter was created 
 in July of 2010 in order that producers could voice their concerns and
  ideas for policy change that will support the sustainability of Canad
 ian agriculture as well as offer solutions to short-term risks current
 ly affecting their respective industries. Furthermore, they are lookin
 g to develop symbiotic relationships with the consumers who purchase t
 heir products by ensuring a safe, affordable and consistent supply of 
 Canadian grown meat and produce.\n\nFor more information visit https:/
