The Hallahans, who own and Corn lodging problems in harvesting Continued from page 1 soybeans at present. Root worm infestations had led to some corn falling over during the heavy winds and wet weather and farmers were worried about getting the corn before it was completely lodged. They planned to turn to corn and let the soybean fields dry longer. Mr. Wheeler reported the same problem in his area. Moisture in corn also seems to be high in the 28 to 35 per cent range, he said (corn is dried to 15.5 per cent moisture for storage). Many farmers were more worried about getting the crop off however, because extra drying costs would be offset by the increase in yield as the stalks don’t get beaten down any closer to the ground. Farmers are still left with work ing under terrible field conditions, however, Mr. Wheeler said. Every of Farm tax rebates on way to farmers More than 160,000 applications for the 1990 Farm Tax Rebate Program have now been sent out to owners of farm property by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. An additional 5,000 applications will be delivered as soon as appropriate mill rate information is received. The Farm Tax Rebate Program will provide approximately $151.0 million in municipal tax rebates to eligible owners of farm properties in agricultural production in the province. The program rebates a portion of property taxes on farm land and outbuildings because agriculture is land intensive. To be eligible for this year’s 75 per cent rebate, farm property must be used as part of a farming operation with a gross production value of at least $7,000 in 1990. Property owners can expect to receive rebate cheques six to eight weeks after applications are return ed to OMAF. In the event of a mail strike, those who have not received appli cations should call (416) 326-9900. As well, completed application forms can be dropped off at OMAF’s county agricultural offices. Dead line for Farm Income Assistance Oct. 31 The application deadline for all components of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food’s Farm Income Assistance Program is Oct. 31. “We estimate that approximate ly half of the applications have been received by the ministry so far. With the deadline less than a month away, we are urging farmers to fill out their forms and forward them to us now,” said Roily Stroeter, director of the farm assistance programs branch. The Farm Income Assistance Program is designed to reduce the cash flow burden resulting from high interest rates and weak com modity prices. It has several com ponents, including interest assis tance, grains oilseeds, fur, and horticultural crops. Farm business with a 1989 gross farm income of at least $15,000, which paid at least $5,000 in farm interest in the fiscal year ended during 1989 are eligible for the Interest Assistance Component. Farm businesses which produced and harvested any of the eligible crops are eligible for the Grains and Oilseeds Component. Ontario- licensed breeders of ranch-raised mink and fox are eligible for the Fur Component. Fruit, vegetable and tobacco-producing farm busi nesses are eligible for the Horticul tural Component. Eligible producers who have not received an application form or need information can contact the Farm Assistance Programs Branch at (416) 326-9895 or their local OMAF office. rain now seems to pond on top the saturated soil.
