OFFIRR deadline May 18 May 18 is the last day to mail applications for the 1986 Ontario Family Farm Interest Rate Reduc­ tion (OFFIRR) grant. The grant is based on farm loans with interest rates over eight per cent. Short term operating loans are also eligible under the 1986 program. Equity in the farm must be at least 10 per cent and not more than 75 per cent. Total family net worth - must be less than $1,110,000. Farm loan details require verifica­ tion by the lender. Eligible farmers who receive a grant should consider using the grant to pay down debt. For example a $10,000 grant applied to principal on a 13 per cent loan with monthly payments and a 10-year term would save $7,676 in interest charges.
