Keeping records is a tedious
job, disliked by most farmers.
But it has to be done if one is to
manage a viable farm business
today. By enrolling in the
Canadian Farm Management
Data System (CANFARM ) the
farmer gets his records done
faster and easier than any other
method.
A modern computer performs
the arduous tasks of adding,
subtracting, balancing and
calculating his financial
transactions. It gives him most
of the information he needs to
manage the farm. It leaves only
the simple recording to the
farmer.
Some farmers want only the
simplest kind of analysis for the
farm as a whole. Other farmers
may want a very complete and
comprehensive analysis of their
business and its components,
including a given pen of hogs, or
steers.
This record system will serve
both of these groups, as well as
the large group that falls
between these two extremes. By
providing a number of
alternative options, a farmer will
be able to select the most
suitable record system for his
purpose, and can progress from a
simpler to a more complete
option as his needs and
experience increase.
CANFARM is available to
farmers in all parts of Canada.
However, to facilitate the
orderly implementation,
enrollment during 1970 is
limited to 5,000 farms. The
Provincial Departments of
Agriculture are training their
farmer contact agents (farm
management specialists or
district agriculturists) in the use
of CANFARM so that interested
farmers can be enrolled and
begin using the system during
1970.
Universities, provincial and
federal departments of
agriculture and the Farm Credit
Corporation planned and
developed this standard farm
record system for all areas of
Canada.
The Canada Department of
Agriculture provided most of the
resources for development.
Other funds, professional staff
and computer time have been
contributed by the agricultural
Economics Research Council of
Canada, the Universities of
Saskatchewan, Guelph and
Laval, the Farm Credit
Corporation and various
provincial extension services.
While enrollment in
CANFARM is virtually closed
for 1970, farmers wanting
further information, or wishing
to get their names on the waiting
list for next year, should contact
their local farm management
extension specialist, their
agricultural representative or
district agent of their Farm
Credit Corporation fieldman.
Don Pullen, Huron's
Agricultural representative
reports 31 farmers from the
county are enrolled in
CANFARM.
Farmers record all necessary
transactions in appropriate
columns on a simple journal.
Every entry is identified by a
code. The code indicates what
the item is, whether it was
purchased or sold, and the
enterprise or account with which
it is associated. The information
is then mailed in to a processing
centre, coded on magnetic tape
and processed with a large-scale
computer.
Processed reports are
, generally mailed to the farmer
within ten working days after
the data arrive. The individual
may receive monthly, periodic
and annual reports. The reports
received depend upon the
option, or type of records
selected.
Monthly reports include an
Extra lead
at roadside
Farmers may be able to
combat roadside lead pollution
from cars, trucks and buses by
fighting back with fertilizers,
lime and soil organic matter.
Scientists at the Canada
Department of Agriculture have
confirmed earlier research
reports that exhaust from cars,
trucks and buses is polluting
roadside soils with an extra dose
of lead.
The specialists at the Soil
Research Institute have also
established that roadside plants
absorb some of this lead, in
some cases at levels which some
experts consider excessive.
And they have learned that
this plant uptake of lead can be
reduced by: •
• raising the soil pH to make
it less acidic (by adding lime).
• adding phosphate to tie up
the lead into harmless
compounds the plants can't
absorb.
• adding soil organic matter
which also ties up the lead in
unusable compounds.
The experiments were
conducted by Dr. A. J.
MacLean, Dr. R. L. Halstead and
Dr. B. J. Finn of the Soil
Research Institute.
They sampled plants and soil
from both the east and west
sides of a highly-travelled
Ottawa city street.
Both the plants and soil
closer to the road had more lead.
Other researchers have
reported that lead concentration
is higher in urban than in rural
soil and plants,
The report of the research is
contained in a recent issue of the
Canadian Journal of Soil
Science.
itemized listing of the receipts
and expenditures for each
enterprise or account, a
statement of the current status
of each credit account, and a
summary showing the totals for
all enterprises and accounts,
These monthly reports show the
figures for the month and for
the year to date.
Annual reports include a Cash
Income Statement to assist in
the preparation of the Income
Tax and other returns. They also
include an Accrual Income
Statement and depreciation
schedules on both the straight
line and diminishing balance
methods. In addition, they
include an owner's equity
statement and a financial
analysis of the business as a
whole.
The most demanding and
perhaps the most useful part of
the system, however, involves
the analysis of each of the
enterprise and service accounts.
It shows the details for the
specific enterprise and provides
per unit comparisons with the
averages for similar enterprises
on other farms.
Asking for
easy change
The rollover provision of the
Benson White Paper on Taxation
could be an incentive to commit
murder.
This was one amusing
illustration as the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
explained its suggested changes
to the White Paper during a
day-long workshop conference
at Toronto.
The OFA is pressing for the
provision to allow an orderly
transfer of the family farm
between generations without
waiting for the death of the
fpaarrm.en t. The White Paper
stipulates waiting until after
death before transferring the
John Roberts, M.P., a
member of the Taxation
Committee, told the conference
that very few farmers have
written to the government to
suggest changes in the White
Paper Proposals.
Malcolm Davidson, a member
of the OFA executive, warned
that farmers must abandon their
role as a "silent minority" if
they wish to gain any changes in
the tax proposals. He stated that
deliberate moves must continue
to bring alternative proposals to
the attention of the government.
The OFA has circulated over
2,000 copies of their suggested
changes to the White Paper
across all of Ontario. The
Federation wants all farmers to
write to their M.P.'s about the
White Paper. Mr. Davidson
stressed that farmers across the
province must become involved
in the change of the tax system
without getting caught up in the
hysteria which has gripped many
segments of society concerning
the taxation proposals.
He pointed out that the OFA
supports the objectives of the
White Paper, the establishment
of a new tax system, but
disagrees with a number of
proposals put forth to build the
new system.
Other speakers at the meeting
included Don Coxe of
Co-operators Insurance
Association of Guelph and David
Davis, a tax specialist from
Toronto.
The Federation warns that a
capital gains tax on top of estate
tax, succession duties and rising
inflation will make it impossible
to continue the family farm.
collective bargaining to replace
the .commodity marketing
boards. The Federation believes
that the best way to determine
the value of the NFU plan is for
the union to use it on one or.
two commodities and to allow
farmers to assess its merit after a.
fair trial period,
Mr. Hill says that it is easy for
the NFU to stand on the
Sidelines and do nothing but
.criticize. He explains that
farmers should understand that
the new national marketing
legislation deals with only
inter-provincial and export
trade, leaving marketing within a
province very much a provincial
affair.
The Federation leader calls
on au farmers to build a better
marketing system to prove its
effectiveness before destroying
what has been built over the
years through the joint efforts of
thousands of farmers and the
OFA.
To concentrate
members drive
The membership body of the
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture passed a resolution
in a meeting last week, which
orders the executive to
co-ordinate a concentrated
Individual Service Membership
drive on a province-wide basis.
To date, each county has been
operating independently in
promoting membership sales.
James Boynton,
secretary-manager of the 0 ntario
Hog Producers' Marketing
Board, told the meeting that
involvement by farmers is
bringing on a growing powerful
impact for the OFA across the
province.
Federation President, Gordon
Hill revealed during the meeting
that milk producers are the first
to begin purchasing Individual
Service Memberships through a
commodity check-off.
He explained that milk
producers can now direct their
board to pay the OFA their
membership fee in one payment,
in monthly payments, or a small
amount per unit of production.
It was revealed that farmers
producing other commodities
vill soon be able to purchase
their memberships by this new
method.
During the meeting, the OFA
Piesident challenged supporters
of the Federation at the local
law] to start meeting challenges
from other farm organizations in
a more aggressive manner.

Claims attempts made
to destroy marketing
Gordon, Hill, President of the some time for voluntary Ontario- Federation of
Agriculture, challenges the
National Farrnera' union to put
into action their claims about
voluntary collective bargaining,
He suggests that the NFU start
With soybeans. If that proves
successful, he says that corn
could be the next commodity to
work on.
T OFA President warns
that farmers must be aware of
attempts by the NFU to destroy
orderly marketing programs
without having any practical,
proven alternative to offer as a
replacement.
Mr. Hal points out that
threatening actions are being
taken by NFU members and
their sympathizers against the
Ontario Milk Marketing Board,
the Ontario Hog Producers'
Marketing Board and other
marketing groups. A petition
against the OMMB is being
circulated by NFU members in
Eastern Ontario.
The Federation recognizes
that marketing boards have not
yet solved all marketing
problems. But Mr. Hill
emphasizes that progress to date
indicates that the marketing
legislation must be strengthened,
not destroyed, in order to build
even better marketing boards.
