Ag. programs highlighted at legislature
Each participating pro-
ducer will have his own
account in the fund. If there
is a balance in his account at
the end ckf the three-year
plan, he'll get a refund which
will include any interest
earned on his money.
The Ontario Government
will continue to contribute
two-thirds of the fee. If a
federal plan is introduced
during the next three years,
the Stabilization Commission
will simply pay back to
farmers whatever money is
in their individual accounts
and let the federal program
take over.
For 1979-80, there will be
four stabilization plans: corn,
soybeans, white beans, and
winter wheat which is new
this year.
Crop insurance is another
program aimed at the boom
and bust problems of agri-
culture. The farmer pays half

This week the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food Est-
imates have been before the
Resources Development
Committee. The Ml 'ster
during his comments high-
lighted the programs the
Ministry has undertaken and
supported throughout the
year.
In regard to income stab-
ilization, Ontario instituted
its first stabilization program
in 1977. In 1978 the Ministry
introduced the three-year
plan. Based on the exper-
ience gained with these
plans, as well as the exper-
ience in the cow-calf program
an amended three-year plan
will be introduced.
Under the new arrange-
ments, the producer will pay
a fee equal to one-third of the
total possible payout and, if a
year goes by and there's no
payout, the fee for that year
will be applied against the
fee for the next year. In some
cases that could mean there
would be no fee collected in
the second or third year.
the premium and the federal
government pays the other
half, with the province carry-
ing the administration costs.
The Tile Drainage Pro-
gram is to be continued,
whereby the farmer can get a
ten-year loan from his muni-
cipality to finance up to 75
per cent of the cost of his tile
drainage installation.
To take account of inflation
and other factors, the qual-
ifying value of farm produce
has been raised from $2,000
to $4,000 under the Farm Tax
Reduction Program. The
1978 program rebates half
the municipal property taxes
paid by farmers who produce
$4,000 worth of agricultural
goods annually.
March 31, 1979 saw the
end of the twelve-year Cap-
ital Grants Program. A new
program of grants-the five-
year Ontario Farm Product-
ivity Incentive Program-has
been announced, aimed at
retaining soil productivity
and reducing erosion. Farm-
ers who did not use their full
entitlement under the Cap-
ital Grants Program may
apply for grants to assist in
the building of livestock
barns, milk houses, poultry
barns, silos, greenhouses,
tobacco kilns and maple
syrup facilities. To qualify, a
farm must produce $8,000
worth of agricultural goods
annually.
The Minister of Trans-
portation and Commun-
ications, James Snow, an-
nounced a new, mandatory
bus inspection program, to
become effective in Ontario
on October 31, 1979.
Under the new regulations

vehicle with dual wheels or
tandem rear axles designed
to carry ten or more pas-
sengers, other than those
fitted with a truck or delivery
body.
It includes all buses oper-
ated by or under contract to a
muncipality or other transit
authority; buses licensed as
public vehicles under the
Public Vehicles Act; and
vehicles used for the trans-
portation for compensation of
persons in wheelchairs,
regardless of the designed
seating capacity. The new
inspection program covers sports organizations and special brake inspection
