PL NTERS On These Used Help for young farmers asked by Huron .Federation Some farmers have applied to lease land through ARIDA and after much delay find that AHDA will not assist them in procuring land, or will not pay enough for the land, that the farmer can enter a contract of lease without risking con- siderable additional capital. Is there not some way that the farmer could be given this in- formation at an earlier time in negotiations. More clarifications as to who is qualified to purchase through A R D A would be helpful, Can a man who has a viable farm at present add to his holdings in this way? Or is this program intended for those who require land to bring their operation tip to the point of viability. It appears that there are many people who are not clear on this point and that specific guidelines should be laid down. Also I would like to bring to your attention the concern of many farmers as to the length of time that is taken to process an ARDA transaction. Some transactions are known to have taken as long as a year and a half to finalize. Could there be some way of speeding up this process?" taiwww,,,,,,,,,,,,,,„„„„,„„„„„,„„„„„„,.,„,,,„,„,,,,„„,„,..„„.„„„„,,„„„„,.„„,„n„,,,,i JIM'S ABATTOIR F... 1 1 Custom. ff, Butchering .. ff. .ff and Complete FL, Processing, BEEF KILLING Shop at home Better job in marketing In a brief address to the executive members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in Clinton recently, Ontario Federation president Gordon Hill of Varna said "it would be much easier if farmers income came completely from the market place rather than help in sub- sidies," During the meeting, all com- modity groups of the Huron Federation presented their an- nual briefs to the area members of parliament, Continuing Hill said, "We need to do a better job in marketing and in organizing ourselves. The average income of ' farmers should be increased by one thousand dollars per year,' but this would cost more than 450 million dollars." On marketing, the Ontario president said, "We need our provincial boards to get together nationally." We have seen a great achievement in all provincial agriculture ministers agreeing to a wide reaching document." Hill who was forced to leave the meeting early due to com- mitments on the provincial level, praised the Huron F of A for originating the meetings with MP's. He said this is one way to let the government know what each committee would like to see implemented in farm policy. Other counties are following in Huron's footsteps," Attending the meeting were Huron-Bruce MPP Murray Gaunt and Robert McKinley, Huron's representative in the federal parliament. Huron MPP, C. S. Mac- naughton was unable to attend due to other commitments, Snowmobile club holds meeting The first meeting of the South Huron Snowmobile Club was held at John Elder Enterprises on December 29, 1971. Officers are as follows: President, Beth Passmore; Vice President, Allan Knight; Secretary, Ralph Geiger; Press Reporter, Marlene Stewart. The leaders are Maurice Love and Kevin Delbridge. John Elder discussed care of the snowmobile and safety. The next meeting will be held January 13 at South Huron District High School. Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd. Grain • Feed • Cement Building Supplies Cool 228-6638 One problem that appears to be hampering the farm industry was brought to light in three different briefs presented by commodity groups of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in their annual 4. meeting with area memberS of parliament. liurortpresident Mason Bailey, vice-pre, ident Mervin Smith and cream committee chairman Lloyd Stewart emphasized the lack of opportunities for young men who wish to work at the industry of farming. Bailey in his opening brief said, "The high cost of establishing a profitable farm enterprise is discouraging young people from entering agriculture. The limited credit for starting a farming enterprise is not much use to most young people. Unless something significant is done by government soon to overcome this difficulty, agriculture can easily fall into the control of wealthy corporations." Mervin Smith on the same subject said, "With the average age of farmers around 55 years of age, it is imperative that there be a program to assist farmers'sons to get started, This could mean many farmers could be assisted by being able to work with the same machinery as their sons and help to keep the high cost of capital somewhat lower," "Under the present plans it seems that it has to be a part- nership or corporation of some sort. Many farmers have sons ready and willing to farm but are not in a financial position to set them up." The Huron cream committee brief echoed the same ideas on the problems encountered by potential young farmers. . Chairman Lloyd Stewart said, "No matter what line of farming a young man wishes to go into, whether it be cream, dairy, beef etc., the government does not provide help to get started far- ming. They do offer help to an established farmer through loans, but to a young man who wishes to carry on the family farm the borrowed amount would be so great, he could never hope to rise above it." Considerable discussion developed on ways to make the job of getting started easier for the young farmer. Huron-Bruce MP Murray Gaunt suggested that an ex- tension of the ARDA program to allow young people to participate could be one avenue, ARDA now has a limit of $15,000 for purchase of 100 acres of land without buildings. Gaunt added, "ARDA doesn't like to buy land with buildings because of the problem of maintenance." During the discussion, one member who said the Farm Credit Corporation has a limit of $40,000 on one farm added, "They seem to be more interested in security than the farmers ability to pay back," On the same subject Huron's director to the OFA Vince Austin said he welcomed the opportunity to speak on behalf of faraters with regard to leasing and pur- chasing land through ARDA. "I believe there is some confusion as to the purpose and intent Of this program and that classification on several points could be beneficial to all con- cerned, How does a pork producer survive financially in these days of low prices and rising costs? Louis Longo, a well known Connecticut dairy farmer speaking at the recent Ontario Silage Conference, says "Far- mers must work smarter not harder" under todays conditions. Planning, cost control and quality improvement are more important now than ever before particularly since more operations are paying off new barns, feed storages and equipment and other fixed overhead items. These factors have been taken into account in planning a two- day short course for swine far- mers. Offered by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, the course will be held on Wednesday, January 19 and Thursday, January 20, 1972 at Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, Huron Park, Ontario. Sessions begin at 9:30 a.m, and end by 4:30 p.m. each day. A partial list of the topics to be discussed include: The pork industry — what makes it tick?, What's happening in the market place?, Swine reproduction, A.I. for swine, Setting up a breeding program, Evaluating ventilation, Kin Lottery II tickets may be purchased from the following authorized sales outlets. • H O M. J. Geiser ARDA plans land use study The Hon. Wm. A. Stewart, Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food, and the Hon. Jean— Marchand., Canada Minister of e: Regional Economic Expansion, announced recently plans by ARDA for an agricultural land use study in southern Ontario. The findings of the study would provide guidelines for for- mulating public planning policy with emphasis on the preser- vation of suitable agricultural land for future food requirements. The specific ob- jectives of the research are: 1. to assemble the information available in a form that will be useful to decide which areas should be committed to agriculture, 2. to identify the key factors affecting agricultural land use and the directions of change over the next 20 years, 3. to determine the interactions between agriculture and the environment, and 4. to suggest priorities and identify the policy issues and their means of implementation. Although Ontario still has surplus agricultural land to fill present food needs, urban and industrial demands for land are increasing in parts of southern Ontario. Since land converted from agriculture to urban and industrial uses cannot be retrieved, plans must be in- stituted now to preserve agricultural land required for future food production, This study will be undertaken by a team of researchers from the University of Guelph and will be completed in about 6 months.
