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. They want security fOr farmers,
