Grain Stabilization Due to favourable growing conditions followed by an excellent harvest, Ontario producers enrolled in the 1987 Grain Stabilization Plan can now increase their grain tonnage registration by 25 per cent per crop. The Grain Stabilization Plan in- cludes the following commodities: corn, seed corn, soybeans, canola, barley, oats, winter wheat and white beans. Stabiliza- tion payments are made when the past year's market price of grain in the plan falls below the support price. The support price is calculated by using 95- per cent of the previous five year average market price, with adjustments made for cash costs. The Grain Stabilization Plan is a voluntary program funded one-third by the grower and two-thirds by the Ontario Government. Tripartite Stabilization for White and Coloured Beans Enrollment in the Tripartite Stabiliza- tion Plan for white and coloured beans has been extended to December 31, 1987.
