This new erain farmsafety nets is being welcomed by Ontari +} farmers, and farm .organizations alike who stand to gain greater control over how funds for adaptation are distributed. "Ontario's Agricultural Adaptation Council (AAC) is pleased that its mem- ber cornmodity groups have agreed in principle' that the existing council is the. most efficient vehicle for distribution of the funds earmarked for research and development," AAC chair Boger George said in' a recent phone inter- view. The funds Will be administered by the AAC, but project selection will be determined by the, various commodi- ty groups. The AAC was .officially formed in January 1996. to _Dandle the ,$28 million allotted to Ontario's agriculture and agri-food sector over four years from the Canadian Adaptation and Rural Development Fund. The non-profit coalition brings together 47 Ontario faun and rural organizations, including the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the provinces largest gen- eral eneral farm organization. q'Agriculture and Agri ,Food Canada and Ontario faun groups have reached a unique agreement based on the belief that the province's farm and rural orga- nizations have the knowledge and abili- ty to helpdetermine the most effective allocation of government funds," said George when Minister of Agriculture Ralph Goodale. presented the first $7- million installment. The council will administer funding for innovative projects designed to fos- ter increased long term growth, self reliance, employment and competitive- ness for Ontario's agriculture, food and rural communities. George says the council is well placed to handle the research and development funds and ensure worth- while projects are directed to the proper sources of funding so that the sectors adaptationefforts are not being dupli- sated. "This is clearly the most efficient way of doing business," George said. Ken Bohill, of Abigail's Folk Art and Bird Houses, reported °business as `good" during. his partk ipation in . . the Craft Festival this past weekend.. Bohill and his wife Gail, of Fisher- men's Cove, came. up with the idea' of Custom °designed birdhouses because "it was unique". His granddaughter, Lisa Shedden of Hamil- ton was lending, a helping hand to grandpa.
