The Ontario Federation
of Agriculture is going to be
asked to petition the ministry
of health and other appro-
priate bodies to ensure the
province's doctors know the
proper antidotes for farm
chemicals. . •
A resolution, approved by
Huron Federation of Agri-
culture members at' their
monthly meeting. Thursday
at. Grey Central School,
Ethel, stated, "there seems
to be a lack of adequate
information available to local
doctors regarding treatments
and antidotes for many farm'
chemicals."
The resolution, submitted
by the East Wawanosh
federation, resulted from a
problem a farmer in that
township had with farm
chemicals.
Federation members also
approved a motion asking
that the Farm Safety Asso-
ciation be made aware of the
antidote situation.
Tony McQuail, a Lucknow
area farmer, presented a
resolution to members
raising concerns over 'the
issue of plant breeders'
rights.
Mr. McQuail told federa-
tion members that legislation
regarding 'these rights may
be introduced in the next
meeting, said the Canadian
said this legislation could
increase the cost of seed and
affect the type of , new seeds
being developed.
Mr. McQuail said in
Europe and the U.S., the
vertical integration of seed
and agricultural' chemical
companies is already proving
a problem for farmers.
Federation members
approved Mr. McQuail's
resolution asking that the
OFA carefully examine any
legislati/on on plant breeders
and "oppose it if it is
detrimental to the longterm
interests of Canadian
agriculture."
OFA president Ralph
Barrie, guest speaker at the .
meeting, said the Canadian
Federation of Agriculture
(CFA) also passed a resolu-
tion to protect the rights of
plant breeders at its conven-
tion in Winnipeg.
Mr. Barrie said among the
issues raised in the CFA
resolution were that farm:,
organizations have formal
input into determining the
regulations governing
breeders' rights and that
safeguards be built into the
legislation to prevent
monopolies controlling the '
seed industry.
Federation members
approved• a third resolution,'
presented by HFA president
Merle Gunby of Ashfield
Township.
The resolution asked that
the OFA request the federal
government to allow a
farmer, on the sale of his '
property, to add unto income
his previously claimed
capital costs allowance on his •
farm home, so that the owner
can • claim capital gains
exemptions' 'on the ' same
'home.
Mr. Gunby said he for.'
warded the 'resolution due to
the' rapid increase in the
value of farm homes in the
last decade.
