We have just learned 
that the Class 1 farmland we have fought so hard to protect in Melancthon has 
been sold to Canadian investors who say the land will continue to be farmed! 
Bonnefield Financial now owns Highland's potato fields. We're going to look 
further into this company, but at this point, we must take the president's quote 
at face value: "Here we have Canadian investors, supporting Canadian farmers to 
ensure that oneof our most precious resources – farmland – continues to 
be used for farming." 

This news, however, does not stop our efforts to 
change Ontario's Aggregate Resources Act. Ontario's prime farmland and source 
water must be priority. ‪#‎FoodAndWaterFirst‬
