While admitting there are more farmers in his provin- cial goveroment than there are in Ontario's, Saskatchew- an Minister of Agriculture Gordon MacMurchy said if farm organizations feel strongly about legislation on an issue, "they can tackle 'the government and sell it." Mr. MacMurchy, speaking at a lucheon-press confer- ence on Friday, said Ontario farm organizations should put "pressure on govern- ment" to solve the absentee ownership of the province's farmland. He said farmers could also seek out other groups like the Chamber of Commerce, trade unions, etc., to lend Libby's 48 oz. unsweetened GRAPEFRUIT JUICE their Aupport to the cam, paign against absentee ownership. Tony McQuail, second vice-president of the federa- tion, in responding to Mr. MacMurchy, said, "1 think in Ontario we are going to have to persuade some other groups to lend weight to this issue." Friday morning, before the noon hour press conference, Huron Federation of Agricul- ture members took Mr. Mac Murchy on a tour of three area farms-- Con Eckert's dairy farm north of Seaforth, the Jim McIntosh farm at: R.R. 4, Se'aforth and Law- rence Taylor's, cash crop, operation near Londesboro. Following the luncheon, Mr. MacMurchy said his government was still under pressure to solve other land problernsin the province, in addition to non-resident ownership of farm land. He told the audience in the 1960's in Saskatchewan there was a significant decline in the farm population, which still delivers 60 per cent of the Saskatchewan economy. YOUNG FARMERS To encourage young far- mers to go into blisines, the government devised two pro- grams- the Land Bank and Farmstart. Under the Land Bank program, a three-member independent commission' buys farmland to lease back to young farmers so they' can get a start. A farmer, ap- proaching retirement age, can sell his farm to the Land Bank Commission to be eventually transferred to his son or to be put on the market for lease. Mr. MacMurchy . said a younger farmer can lease land for five years, with an option to purchase it, or can continue to're-lease the land every five years until he reaches retirement. - He said currently about one million acres of Sask- atchewan farmland is owned by the Land Bank Commis- sion and 2800 farmers are leasing this land. This pro gram has cost the Sask- atchewan government about $1,25 million and there is now a backlog of 500 from farmers wishing to sell to the commission. Farm start, the govern- ment's second program, provides capital for a young farmer who wants to •divers- ify his operation. Farmers with net incomes of $18,000 a year and below can qualify for loans of up to $150,000. 1.09 1.59 3.29 3/.99 Plus deposit 1.59 1.59. 1.35. to, osviemomookevome", %%IAN It How Fast Are We?

Programs like the Land 13anke and Farmstart have helped reduce the decline in farmers from a 2. per cent annual rate in the. 1966-71: period to .a .6 per cent decline in the 1976-78 period, the minister said. STILL PROBLEMS Even with these programs, the minister said the govern- ment still has a number of areas.to tackle. One problem is farm size, and he said the government still has to ad- dress the issue of farm ownership. While non-resi- dent ownership has been studied, and legislation passed, there are still people speculating in farmland. He added the government also plans to ask for legislation of the use of farmland. A Post Classified will pay you dividends. Have you tried• one?
