LOOK CLOSELY — Huron Federation of Agriculture president Poul Klopp, left, looks over some beans with area farmer Winston Shop - ton. Klopp was in the field to accompany agriculture minister John Wise who toured rain damaged fields on Friday in the Exeter area. Riddell responds Continued from front page this week that if Wise was prepared to make some concessions, he (Rid- dell) would be only too happy to sit down and discuss the situation. I'm prepared to talk to him," the area MPP said. However, Riddell said that Wise may not have advised area farmers on Friday's tour that the province had to put up $9 million for assistance pro- grams before the federal government would "sink in one red cent". The federal government will pro- vide assistance with the province on a 50/50 basis for assistance from $9 million to $27 million and after that the federal government assumes a r proportion. ell said the committee ed by the Huron Federation lar R es of\ulture which had met with 'id not been in contact with him ate. The provincial agriculture minister said the crop situationeonthdueito be monitored by a special committee he established for that purpose and acknowledged that some options for assistarice may have to be considered. • However, he said the damage his not yet been fully assessed and good weather has now allowed farmers to get back into their fields for harvesting. Riddell further noted that the pro- vince has several good programs in place now to aid farmers and he said the latter should check with their county ag offices to see whether they are eligible for some of those pro: grams and if so, to get their applica- tions in. Riddell concluded his interview with the Times -Advocate by explain- ing that "we don't apply bandaids un- til we know what we're applying it to. Thies-Adnoode.

The tried presented to Wise in- dicated that the economic disaster' is of poportions that have never been experienced before" and the need for financial support in some situations, .ate„ `We strongly seggest that disaster relief should be targeted to those farmers that can demonstrate firnn- cial need. In the case of vegetable growers, the growing prooess and cash requirements for the NV crop begin as early as December 1996. As we will be able to show you, the vegetables growers' financial needs are both immediate and desperate. Assistance must come in the furan of relief from losses inerased with the 1996 crop and assurance of a supply ef operating capital for M. "This year farm supply dealers were called upon to finance crop operations. Unless these, financial commitments can be fulfilled the cur- rent and future implications are obvious. "It is impossible for us to fully describe the magnitude of this economic catastrophe. It has affected all segemeds of our local economics. In addition to the previous crumple, we see dairy and beef farmers that are unable to harvest silage re- quirements ; hog. fanners that are =certain about the feedingqualities of thea corn supply. We are seeing layoffs and cut backs in tine agri- business sector. The `ripple effect' of all these situations is going to have a major economic impact on all rural economies in Southwestern Ontario.
