Peckman said the recent report from the auditor general shows that other ministeries are very wasteful yet the agricultural ministry cannot get money, Clete dalton of the Farm Survival Association pointed out that agriculture is Canada's primary Industry and every other industry in the country is secondary, based on agriculture, Dalton said if agriculture is doing well so is everyone else, Yet he commented, the federal budget allows only one per cent of the total budget for agriculture, Tony McQuail of the Huron County feder- ation of agriculture, told Young the major issues facing farmers within the near future are the cost of financing and pries for products, The uncertainty entering the business is discouraging and the recent experience with FCC is disheartening, Federal finance minister Marc Lalonde was too slow in allowing access to public money to fund FCC and interest rates rose one per ccnt in the meantime, said Quail. FCC should be allowed to become more competitive with banks, rather than picking up the bad leans, said McQuail, banks aren't interested in the farm lending field, McQuai1 added, and FCC could be more competitive if it could finance through asci. bonds, Retiring farmers would like to invest in the future of the industry through agr#= bonds, he added, Members of the Concerned Farm Women also spoke to the meeting outlining concerns regarding comntodity prices, the so-called cheap food policy and a written statement which considered the Crow's Nest Pass Rate, They also gave Young a copy of 'The Farmer Takes a Wife", which includes survey results on the fatm familyand stress, 1n his comments followingte presenta- tions, Young said the NHis addressing farm issues in the House of Commons.
