FarmPLUS encourages investment in agriculture by Don Jackson There is a new investment and loan program set up in rural com- munities across'• Ontario to make it easier for investors to ,invest in agriculture and for farmers to get loans. The program, called FarmPLUS, ' was announced by Minister of Agriculture and Food Elmer Buchanan on Jan. 25. Paul Klopp, Huron MPP and secretary to the minister of agricul- ture and food, said the program is a means to "get decisions back te•the local communities again. "It became loud and clear that the farm community wanted a vehicle where they could invest money and know it would come back to the area." The program has two parts to it - investment and loan. On the in- vestment side, anybody who wants to invest in the farm community can buy a guaranteed investment certificate (GIC). The certificate has all the benefits of a normal GIC, including RRSP eligibility and up to $60,000 being secured by the Deposit Insurance Corporation, with the added bonus that the money will be used to secure loans for area farmers and farm businesses. The Clinton Community Credit Union started the program last Friday with Klopp and his aide Robin Dunbar coming to the launch. Klopp said,) "Today, we want- to make sure people realize. you can invest in this plan. It's open to farmers and non -farmers." Klopp went so far as to purchase a GIC with his own money at the launch to show his faith in the new program. The GICs require a minimum deposit of $500. On the loan side of the program, the provincial government has of- fered to, guarantee 20 per cent of the loans ' that come out of the program. This ,gives , the credit union or.bank involved the ability to take on higher risk loans than they might normally consider. There is a loan decision commit- tee which will review all ap- plications for loans, and farmers - will be among those comprising the committee. "The loan decision. committee makes the final decision on a loan. It doesn't go on to the ' province. We want to keep the bureaucracy out of this as much as possible," Klopp explained. He continued, "It's somethings that should have appened 10 r 12 years ago, A farmer is going to get the best possible rate that he can get and by using the. vehicle of the credit 'union we (the government) don't have to set up our own sys- tem. Everybody is 'a winner on this program." Cancels 'Miss Mid -Western •from, page 1 day dance. He also explained that the Society,- after. much debate,, ' would no longer sponsor the Miss Mid -Western Ontario -Pageant. '. Reports were given by Elizabeth Irvin (Junior Fair) and three 4-H leaders for the Beef Club, 1-lorse and Dairy Clubs respectively. • Dr. Alec Martin from the Luck - now -Huron Vet Clinic spoke briefly about showing cattle safely with the threat of BVD around. He explained that prevention was the key word. Animals to 'be shown should be vaccinated twice 8-10 weeks, and 6-4 weeks, before the- show. Proof of vaccination or purchase of vac- cine would be supplied, by vet' clinics in the area. The secretary, . Gloria . Messenger, announced • that Preliminary Homecraft lists were available at the meeting or later. at Your Favourite Things or the Sentinel office. She also asked for volun- teers for the position of Vice -Chair - lady for the Homecraft section. The present Chairlady, Jayne Ritchie will be giving up the position at the end of 1994.
