WEBER'S GENERAL STORE Hydro increase Serious effect on farmers The 25.6% increase in rural Hydro rates is going to have a very serious and, in some cases, crippling effect on Ontario farmers," said Peter Hannam, President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, in reaction to a recent announcement by Ontario Hydro. "It is no help to farmers that this increase is blessed by the Anti-Inflation Board and,' therefore, presumably only reflects increased costs of production. Not only' does the A.,I. Board not grant farmers increased` prices to off-set their increased costs of production, but farmers, during the past year, have been taking a severe drop in net income. "But, even leaving that aside, farmers are, in fact, now paying too much for their hydro. Not only do they pay more than the urban rate, they. even pay more than their non-farm rural neighbours. There is no justification for this disCrimination. "And this 25.6% increase is greater than the approximately 20% increase urban hydro rates recently experienced, "What makes this so exasperating is that there is no forum for reviewing these rates. This is the only segment of society for which 'such a review forum does not exist and so Ontario Hydro increases are unilateral decrees "Farmers object very strongly to this arrogant and, insensitive way of doing business," Mr. Hannam concluded: NEW JOBS FROM COMMUNITY PROJECTS.
