The grant structure for the submission of production records has been enhanced. A grant of $5 per sow equivalent will be paid for the submission of acceptable pro- duction records to a .maximum of $200 per year for finishing operations. A grant of $5 per sow equivalent will be paid to each eligible producer to a minimum of $200 and to a maximum of $500 for farrowing and farrow -to -finish operations. A sow equivalent is one sow or 15 market hogs. Since rodents continue to be a major pro- blem to the swine industry and interest has been shown in the Rodent Control Grant, this grant has now been extended on a yearly basis. A grant of $250 per year will be available on the completion of a 12 month program to control rats and mice by a professional, licensed exterminator. Rodent Control Grants will be paid for the calendar years 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990. Both of these grants are retroactive to January 1987. Some producers have enrolled in O. P.I.I. P. and haven't submitted produc- tion records to date. According to the in- itial guidelines, a producer must submit production records for the quarter of enrollment or the quarter following enroll- ment. Many producers were not aware of this stipulation and feel it is too hard to get on track again. To assist these producers, this recent change will be implemented. These producers can start submitting pro - FARM REPORT duction records`as of Jan. 1, 1988 and on submission of the records for Quarter 1, 1988, be eligible for any other grants as long as they continue to meet the eligibility requirements. If these same producers wait until a later quarter before submitting records, they will have to submit four full quarters of records before they are eligible for the other grants. If you have any questions dealing with tnese changes, please feel free to contact me at either the Walkerton or Markdale O.M.A.F. offices.
