Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of the constitutions and bylaws, committee minutes, financial statements, and membership lists for the Canadian Farm Writers' Federation as well as the federation's subsidiaries and partnering organisations. Constitutions clearly set out the objectives and mandates of these organisations as well as the social context in which they are needed. Membership lists include the titles and home organisations of members by year and can act as a reference point in reading the Federation's correspondence.

The committee minutes cover logistics of organisation and unification, include an address on the economic successes and failures in the industry of farm journalism and a projection of the challenges lying ahead, tensions between farm journalists, media outlets and governments with regards to the coverage of agricultural news for both rural and urban populations, lack of mainstream attention for excellence in farm journalism as well as specific contemporary concerns in agricultural economics, ideas and attempts to grow the field including scholarships, conventions, hall of fame, tours, trips, partnerships and workshops.
