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 VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL Jury 8-19, 1985 9 a.m. - 11:30 am, ZION MENNONITE FELLOW SHIP For Information Call 887-6603 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. uron xposttor Let It work for you. 527-0240 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. Canada has become a preferred supplier of grain, mainly wheat, to the USSR.
