Known to listeners of CKNX Radio, Gaunt was raised on a short­ horn farm near St. Helens and grad­ uated from the Ontario Agricultural College in animal and poultry hus­ bandry. As an MP from 1962 to 1981, Gaunt served as the agriculture and environment critic for the Liberal party.

Application forms for the Government of Canada’s Spring Credit Advance Program will be available March 24. Under the new program, farmers will be able to apply for up to $20,000 in interest-free loans. Farmers who apply must also partic­ ipate in the crop insurance program or another program that provides similar protection in situations where provincial crop insurance is not available. The applications will be available at most local elevators for wheat and barley in the Canadian Wheat Board area, the Agricultural Commodity Corporation in Ontario and, in the case of other crops, from participating producer organizations across the country. The program will operate under terms and conditions similar to those of the Advance Payments Program, and will be available for Co-op knows the customers Continued from page 10 bers, including student Graham Worsell, Tom Cronin who works in the store, and Maxine and Bill Seers who manage the greenhouse during the peak planting period. All are local people who know their customers, says Caldwell. “I think customers like the idea that when they go to the local FS Co­ op, "they will be called by name.” all commodities currently covered under the program. Payments to producers under the act come in the form of loans guarantee'd by the Government of Canada and are administered through local producer groups and the Canadian Wheat Board. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada will sign guarantee agree­ ments with the Canadian Wheat Board and the producer organiza­ tions administering the program to secure the funds borrowed from their lenders for issuing the advances to the producers. The Government of Canada will guaran­ tee the loans and pay the interest on up to $20,000 of advances issued to individual producers. The Government of Canada has made available $2.3 billion in farm assistance since December 1998 and is committed to the future of Canadian agriculture and rural com­ munities. This commitment includes: continuing to fight for an end to price distorting international agricultural subsidies, reforms to transportation that will reduce costs to farmers and providing an addi­ tional $1 billion over two years in addition to the $600 million per year dedicated to safety net pro­ grams.
