President Amy Thomas opened the meeting with the 4H pledge. Secretary Darrell Bergsma then read the minutes of the last meet­ ing. Leader Joan Bergsma gave a lesson about Rations and Feeding Systems and about showing off your pig. After the lesson was over President Amy Thomas adjourned the meeting and refreshments were served. Farmers draw line Continue from page 1 their bills and taxes if no action is taken on October 1st, drew widespread support. However, by last weekend, organizers had dropped that suggestion because they felt it would hurt the people who have helped them the most — local suppliers and businesses. They might still proceed with another proposal to stage a mass rally of 10,000 farmers on Queen's Park or Ottawa. That suggestion came from Jack Wilkinson, a vice president with the Ontario Federa­ tion of Agriculture. "It's pretty bad when we can wind down our operation (sell the farm) go on welfare and see our standard of living go up," said Wilkinson. Saying the federal and provincial governments had known how bad things were getting since last spring, Wilkinson told the meeting "the time for talking is over. We want to see some action." One of the organizers, Bev Hill of Varna a large cash crop and pork producer told the crowd that farm­ ing as a way of life had become so unprofitable, that it has gone from a "fields of dreams to acres of anguish." Prices had gone so low, Hill said, that few young people are entering farming, and many farm­ ers and their wives have had to lake second jobs off the farm in order to make ends meet. He said that farmers are taking less for their produce now, in real dollar terms, than 15 years ago. Farmer Doug Scott, who runs a 400 acre cash crop and beef farm near Lucknow said the disastrous prices had left him with only $1,700 after all the expenses were paid from his $120,000 income. His wife was able to get an off- farm job with no investment and earn $28,000 "with only an invest­ ment of $500 for a car and a plastic lunch bucket." He told the hushed crowd that during the depression, a farmer could buy a pair of good Amish youth killed in truck collision A tragic accident ended the life of a 15-year-old Amish youth on Friday, September 13, in Tumberry township, just cast of Wingham. According to a spokesperson from the Wingham OPP detach­ ment, Ozaih, Martin, of RR1, Clif­ ford, was travelling west in a horse-drawn buggy, along the north shoulder of County Road 7, when he stopped to allow two eastbound Royal Homes tractor trailers, which were transporting two house units, to pass. Police say the first of the tractor trailers, which were also accompa­ nied by front and rear escort vehi­ cles, passed the Martin youth without incident. However, as the second unit approached, the horse spooked and bolted in front of the unit, which was driven by Alan McWhinney, 27, of RR6, Goderich, police said. The horse was hit and flew back onto the buggy, throwing the youth from it. The victim was pronounced dead at Wingham and District Hospital. work boots with a bushel of wheat (about $2.50). Now it takes a tonne (worth about $89)." Farmers in Ontario are taking low prices for their grains and oilseeds because the commodities are traded on a open world market. However, unlike their American and European counterparts, Canadi­ an farmers aren't guaranteed a domestic floor price that is substan­ tially higher than world prices, which this year hit 15 year lows. U.S. and European farmers are guaranteed the high price and then the grain is dumped on the world market at fire-sale prices. Last win­ ter, commodity groups and the OFA worked with the two levels of government to draw up two new support programs called the Gross Revenue Insurance Plan (GRIP), and the Net Income Stabilization Plan (NISA). Farmers and govern­ ment pay premiums into these plans, and in bad financial years, farmers can draw out money to make up for any shortfalls in the income. However, several farmers point­ ed out last week's meeting that those programs don't begin until next fall, when prices for the crop presently being harvested are estab­ lished. Previous support programs under the Agricultural Stabilization Act are based on average prices of the last five years, and because those prices have been steadily declining, there is little or no pay out. "Line in the dirt" organizers fear that as many as a third of Ontario farmers will leave farming this winter because they won't have money to plant their crops next spring Hill said Canadian farmers need a government support system simi­ lar to the Americans' to help them through periods of low prices. U.S farmers, through the "Food Securi­ ty Act," know what they'll receive for their crops before there are planted.
