The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) and the Christian
Farmers Federation of Ontario
(CFFO) appreciate the work of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA)
in securing the fee increase
requested through the Farm
Business Registration process for
Ontario’s General Farm
Organizations (GFO).
“This will make it possible for
OFA to continue to work effectively
on behalf of Ontario farm families,”
says Bette Jean Crews, OFA
president.
“It is vitally important for farmers
to have properly-funded
organizations that work for the
betterment of both family farms and
the rural community,” Henry
Stevens, CFFO president said.
The original fee of $150 was set
when the legislation calling for a
Farm Business Registration fee to
fund Ontario’s three GFOs was
approved in 1993. These
organizations have seen significant
operating cost increases since that
time and more complex issues to be
addressed on behalf of Ontario
farmers.
Ontario farmers responded when
OMAFRA asked for an indication
of farmer support for a fee increase.
An estimated 80 per cent told
OMAFRA that they supported the
proposed increase to $195 per year.
With that increase, OFA and
CFFO will be able to work on such
things as additional savings on
energy costs for farmers, improved
safety nets for farmers, more farmer
revenue opportunities with the
Green Energy Act, tax savings, and
expanded product and service
partnerships providing farmer
discounts.
OFA, CFFO appreciate
work of Ministry in
securing fee approval
wish everyone the best of the season &
a very Merry Christmas and
a Happy, Prosperous New Year!
