BILLION SPECIAL CANADIAN GRAINS PROGRAM
A Helping Hand
for Grain fermers
The Special Canadian Grains
Program is assisting farmers
with $1 billion. This initiative,
announced by Prime Minister
Brian Mulroney, is the largest of
its kind ever undertaken by any
Canadian government on behalf
of farmers.
It is a national program that
responds to a national need. It
will help offset low grain and
oilseed prices resulting from
the subsidy war between the
European Community and the
United States.
The first $300 million will be in
the hands of grain and oilseed
farmers this winter. Another
$700 million will be paid out in
the spring.
The details of this historic
program are as follows:
IYou will benefit if, in 1986,
■ you grew wheat, barley,
oats, rye, mixed grains, corn,
soybeans, canola, sunflower
seeds for crushing or flax.
Pedigreed seed, high moisture
corn, high moisture barley and
farm fed grain are also covered.
2 The first cheques are
■ being mailed directly to
Western farmers based on
Canadian Wheat Board permit
book data.
3 If your crops are not
■ included in permit book
data, or if you are a qualifying
producer who doesn’t receive a
cheque, you can pick up an
application at the following
places:
• Offices of Members of
Parliament
• Grain elevators
• Grain producer organizations
• Agriculture Canada offices and
research stations
• Farm Credit Corporation
Offices.
You can also have forms mailed
to you by contacting the
Administrator,
Special Canadian Grains
Program,
Agriculture Canada,
Ottawa K1A 1J3.
Phone (613) 957-7078.
APPLICATION DEADLINE IS
MARCH 31st, 1987.
The Government of Canada is
committed to ensuring that
agriculture remains a strong
and vibrant part of our country’s
economy. The Special Canadian
Grains Program is a part of that
commitment.
