Huron Expositor, 2007-08-15, Page 20Page 20 The Huron Expositor • August 15, 2007 News RMP payments based on individual farm history From Page 7 crops," he said. "They're not inter- changeable either. So it's very, very different from programs we've got in place right now." Tuinema said it's more like crop insurance than a payment program. "It's triggered whenever `opportuni- ty' prices drop below a producer's selected support level," he said, explaining that farmers would pick one of the support levels, pay a premi- um and if the price drops below that support level they'd get paid the dif- ference between the two on a bushel per acre estimate. "Payments are based on your indi- vidual historic average yield and recorded planted acres, so this pro- gram is very specific to you and not general to the average across the province or the average across the nation," he said. Tuinema said producers must apply to enroll each year, with a Nov. 30 deadline for fall -planted crops and a March 31 deadline for spring -planted crops. The producer will have to indi- cate how many acres will be devoted to each commodity. "This is before the time period for the pricing estimates would start," he said. Tuinema explained that to be eligi- ble to participate in the RMP, a pro- ducer must meet three some require- ments. They must be enrolled in production SYS ELECTRIC Steven lYynja RR#1 Seaford!

"Obviously, if you weren't in produc- tion insurance for the 2007 crop, it's a little late to get it now so that require- ment is waived for the 2007 crop year," he said. They must also be enrolled in the CAIS program (which is now called AgriStability). "They're changing how CAIS is going to look," he said. "It's going to be AgriStability and Agrilnvest and because of that, the application for that has been pushed back into November." Tuinema notes you still need to be enrolled in CAIS for the 2007 crop year to enroll in the RMP.

As far as payments go, when a RMP payment is made to an individual pro- ducer, it will count as an AgriStability payment in the equivalent AgriStability program. "It's meant to prevent double-dip- ping," he said. "You get the better of the two programs, but you don't get both. Whichever one is going to pay higher, that's the amount you're going to get." During the last part of the meeting, Guilbeault said that only the provin- cial government has agreed to the pro- gram so far.
