The Brussels Post, 1980-02-06, Page 13Keeping families on the farm. It's. getting harder and harder to.farm the land. And when you do, chances are you end up further in debt. Farmers are subsidizing food prices with their low returns and that has to end. .The New Democrats know what it's like to produce on a farm because farmers and the NDP have always been close. That's why it's been calling for things like: a guarantee that farmers earn enough from their products to meet the cost of living and support their families: orderly marketing and planned production to soften the booms and busts: credit to foreign governments to buy our products: co-operatives to process, stockpile and distribute farm products; an income stabilization fund to insure farm incomes in the case of crop damage. And more: legislation to prevent takeovers of farm land by corporations and foreign concerns: co-operation with the ptoyinces about land zoning; support for the Crow's Nest Pass grain rates andthe extension of the rates to other western commodities to protect farm incomes. The high-interest policies of the Liberals and the Conservatives hurt Canadian fanners. Interest rates went up fourimes since the last federal election, The Conservatives did nothing but follow the policies of the Liberals. New Democrats will act to firmly control interest rates. New Democrats helped defeat the Conservatives' December budget because it would make fanners pay an extra 150 a gallon on gasoline from the excise tax increase. Ed Broadbent and the NDP believe that the family farm is the basic unit of agriculture.
