Farm Credit Corp. seeks lower interest
The 25th anniversary annual report of
Farm Credit Corporation has been tabled in
the House of Commons by the Minister of
Agriculture, John Wise.
Mr. Wise described the past year as a
difficult one for the corporation and the
farmers it serves. Loan demand dropped
from 5,738 loans valued at $758.0 million in
1983-84 to 2,316 loans for $258.7 million. The
Minister pointed out, however, that FCC
made several important adjustments to its
programs to maximize its assistance to the
farming community.
"One of the most beneficial steps faxen
during the year was to reduce the interest
rate on loans made by the Corporation
between April 1, 1981 and December 8, 1982.•
These loans carried interest rates between 14
and 163/a per cent with terms of up to 30
years. The' reduction brought the interest
rates down to 123/4 per cent for close to 6,000
FCC clients," said the Minister.
"The Corporation also expanded the
mandate of its Appeal Boards so that they
could provide third-party analysis of FCC
loans under foreclosure. As well, the
Corporation participated in the Debt Review
Board pilot project in the Ontario counties of
Bruce and Grey."
Adjustments were also-made to FCC's
lending programs so that farmers could
choose interest terms of five, 10 or 20 yearb.
Previously, only a 10 year term was available.
The fact that almost three quarters of the
loans approved during the year were for five
year terms demonstrated a positive response
to this flexibility. During the year, the
Corporation developed the Shared Risk
Mortgage program, which was introduced on
April 1, 1985. This new program facilitates
the sharing of interest rate changes between
FCC and its borrowers and provides farmers
with additional flexibility in financing their
farm operations.
The number of accounts in arrears
increased by 22.1 per cent from 9,867 to
12,050 while the amount of arrears increased
by 51.7 per cent from $107 million in 1983-84
to $162.3 million this past year. These figures
show the seriousness of the situation some
farmers are facing. At the same time, the
level of arrears highlights the Corporation's

commitment that farmers be given every
possible chance to restore the viability of
their operations. The Corporation also assists
farmers in difficulty through measures such.
as reamortization of arrears, partial releases
of security, new loans to consolidate debts
and a counselling service that examines, with
borrowers, the alternatives that may be open
to them.
Farm Credit Corporation's financial per-
formance reflected the difficult economic
conditions in the farm sector. An increase in
the piovision for loan losses resulted in a loss
of $30.2 million. However, this compares
favorably with the loss of $53.4 million in
1983-84.
"I would expect the Corporation to
continue to improve its financial performance
but this will happen gradually as FCC clients
recover from the financit4 problems they are
experiencing," said Mr. Wise.
Exportlehleb, the Soviet agency responsible
for the importing and exporting of commodi-
ties, have developed a mutually beneficial
commercial relationship.
Canada is currently supplying grain under
a five-year, long-term agreement. Signed in
May, 1981, it calls for a resumption of
negotiations before the expiry. date of July 31,
1986.
"It is important that we maintain good
commercial relations with the Soviet Union,"
Mr. Mayer said. "The Soviets are the
Canadian grain farmer's largest customer."
Since becoming Minister responsible for
the Canadian Wheat Board, Mr. Mayer has
met with several Soviet officials. These
include Mr. V. N. Sushkov, Deputy Minister
of Foreign Trade and Mr, Vitaly Vorotnikov
during the senior Politburo member's recent
visit to Ottawa.
4-Hers travel
to Kentucky
On July 7, 20 4-H members and two
chaperones from Huron County will be
travelling to Kentucky. 'They will be the
guests of Jessamine County 4- H members for
one week.
Plans for the group include tours of caves,
Llmcoln's birth place, and race horse farms.
They will also be seeing an outdoor play and
taking a ride on a River Paddleboat.
The "Friend of 4-H Fund" is providing
some financial assistance for the trip. The
fund is supported by local businesses and
organizations. Huron County will be hosting
the Kentucky delegates in the summer of
1986.

Canadian Wheat Board Minister Charles
Mayer is visiting the Soviet Union this week
at theinvitation of Mr. V. M. Ivanoff, Deputy
Minister of Foreign Trade.
The Soviet Union is Canada's largest grain
customer, accounting for about one-quarter
of total Canadian grain exports and one-third
of total wheat exports in 1983-64,
/ Mr. Mayer's visit marks the opening of
discussions on a new grain sales agreement
between the Canadian Wheat Board and
Exportlehleb. While in the Soviet Union, Mr.
Mayer will meet high-level Soviet officials
from the agricultural and industrial sectors.
He will also visit grain-growing areas, the
major industrial center of Minsk, where
tractors and other agricultural equipment are
produced, as well oo the port of Leningrad.

grain, mainly wheat, to the USSR. Over the
