Farmers are getting a snow job on
commodity based mortgages as pro-
posed in the recent federal budget
says the head of the Ontario Federa-
tion of Agriculture.
"Trust me, it's no good," said
Harry Pelissero who was in Huron
County last week to kick off the coun-
ty federation's annual membership
blitz.
He had attended a couple of kitchen
meetings earlier in the day to hear the
concerns of farmers in Huron. As
generally is the case these days, the
financial outlook in the agriculture
community received high priority at
these meetings.
Mr. Pelissero said the announce-
ment in the budget about commodity
based mortgages would see the loan
principal tied to the individual
farmer's commodity price. Those
qualified for this, a small number
says the OFA president, would
receive the loan at a six percent in-
terest rate.
The catch comes though, said
Pelissero, in the fact that the prin-
cipal is tied to comomodity prices, not
the interest rate. He explained that,
as an example, if a farmer had a com-
modity based mortgage with an
original principal of $76,000, that
could increase to 3102,000 if conlmodi-
ty prices go up.
"It only becomes a quote unquote
' subsidy" if the pessimistic approach
is taken and commodity prices go
down," said Pelissero.
The president said farmers would
also be penalized if they dropped out
of the .program. He did note that
federal agriculture minister John
Wise assured the Canadian Federa-
tion of Agriculture that no action
would be taken on this proposal until
some points are straightened out.
There are also external factors af-
fecting here in Ontario. Pelissero said
the United States' farm bill would see
a 10 percent decline on Canadian
farmers' net farm income.
"All of a sudden agriculture policy
affecting us is not being set within
Canadian borders," he said.
The only optimisim he sees in the
farm community is the drawing
together of people. The federation, he
says, is one of the organizations that
has drawn people together during
these rough financial times.
"As a group, we lobby to tell the
story of farming. And more than ever,
people need to be told that story now.
The timing is right to tell the story,"
he said.
The OFA president said the FARM
AID concert last year and another
proposed for this year are indicators
of what is happening in the farm
community.
"When we start holding benefit con-
certs for farmers in North America,
we know we're in trouble," said
Pelissero.
In its membership blitz, the coun-
ty federation is looking for 80 new
members said Bob Harrison of RR 1
Monkton.
The chairman of the membership
committee, Harrison said all
townships in the county were scoured
from March 11 to 14. The federation
set out with 1,826 members.
