Debt - a farm burden
Canadian agriculture has a debt
burden well- beyond what can be
paid for by the productivity of agri-
culture, according to the Christian
Farmers Fcdcration of Ontario
(CFFO).
In a brief to the Standing Senate
Committee on Agriculture and Fo-
restry, the Federation warned that
the present pace of adjustment in
agriculture is not fast enough.
The Senators are holding hearings
on "Financing the Family Farm to
the Year 2000."

Never, in almost 60 years of liv-
ing, have I ever had anyone look at
me with such pure love radiating
from her eyes.
She was asleep in the front scat
beside her Nana. She didn't hear the
car stop nor the door slam when I
got into the back scat. We drove for
a mile or two before she slowly
awoke.
She looked into the back seat and
saw me while still half awake. And

GEM SOCIETY
the love in her eyes for her Grand-
dad, the adoring, trusting look she
gave mc, will be one of those grand
memories to be stored at the front of
the memory bank to be treasured and
re -lived at least once a day as long as
these tircd old bones live_
Regular readers have heard about
Kaitlin. She has a special spot in
my life as do our four other grand-
' kids. I have written about Shannon,
Ryan and Erinn and, of course, Kait-
lin. When Kait was young -- she's
only six now -- she lived with us
while her mother completed her
schooling. That is why she looms
I so large in our lives even though
she is a squint ike her Granddad.
Kait has a brother now, too, and
he has become a charmer already at
10 months.
He arrived in this world on Ne'w.
Year's Evc. I have never been able to
coddle infants. They frighten me.
They look so helpless and dependent
that I almost freeze when one is
handed to me. if bonding takes place
the first six months of a child's life,
then it is a mystery that any of my
children or grandchildren love me.
But they do and that look of love
from Kaitlin is my proof.
The littlest guy, thc New Year's
Eve baby, is called Izaak and for the
last two months, he has taken a
,great shine to his Granddad. He sees
rile coming and hc cannot wait to
get out of his mother's arms. We
make vulgar noises with our mouths
and he squeals wit 1 delight.
When he scrunches his, mouth to
imitate me, the t,implez4 show so
clearly you could store salt in them.
l -lc is mobile by nowt, of course,
but hc moves along on his bottom
instead of crawling on all fours. It
seems to me he is disdainful of do-
ing anything so mundane as crawl-
ing. His little hack is as straight as
sapling when he pulls himself
along thc floor. At the end of the
clay, one side of his leg has cleaned
thc floor.
He has a personality as placid as a
mill pond, so different from his vol-
atile sister. 1 -le scoots along the
floor and disappears in a corner where
he will play all by himself for many
minutes whereas Kait had to he enter-
tained at his age.
•
l lis chubby fingers grip mine in de-
light. Those who have never had the
thrill of a grandchild's hand in yours,
woll, I feel sorry for you.
Ito is even now imitating one of
three cats in the household. Ile docs it
somewhere at the back of his throat
and those who hear it cannot help but
laugh aloud. Ile loves the attention.
Izaak is the youngest of the five and
Shannon, at 15, is thc oldest.
Somewhere at the back of this old
brain, the tick of a clock is register-
ing. I never intended to reach 60.
With relentless swiftness, those gur-
gling children of mine have become
parents themselves. When did it hap-
pen?
1 look at the grandchildren and a
huge lump forms in my throat be-
cause I now know i have been too
busy on my treadmill to oblivion to
appreciate my own children. And I am
grateful to a loving Lord that i ala
able to be so close to my grandchil-
dren.
These precious souls, loaned to us
for so short a time, are teaching me
how to slow down and smell the
flowers.
What most persons consider as virtue,
after the age of 40, is simply loss of
energy.
"It's better to deal with our debt
burden sooner rather than later",
Bill Jongejan, CFFO President, told
the Senators. "Enterprises should
not continue with false hopes for
the future."
The CFFO-called for new powers
for Farm Debt Review Boards. It
wants the boards to have the power
to grant debt set -asides equal to the
declining asset values of many
farms.
The CFFO's brief says that pro-
posals for equity financing and
long-term leasing are workable but
it will take years to develop a tradi-
tion or legal framework that farm
families trust.
"These ideas may get their start
during the present crisis," said
Jongejan, "but they will not provide
solutions that are needed now."
Snow vehicles
Every winter season there are nu-
merous complaints registered with
police by landowners of damage and
trespassers upon property.
As an operator of a snow vehicle,
do you know the law and your re-
sponsibilities while operating the
vehicle.
Any person entering land without
permission when it is a field under
cultivation, an orchard, a woodlot
for agriculture use or lawns or an
enclosed arca is committing the of-
fense of trespassing. No Notice is
required.
Where land is posted - by means
of a sign or red dot the person enter-
ing is trespassing. He may be ar-
rested and charged.
Where a person is on the land of
another. The driver is upon request
by the owner of land, required to
stop and identify himself.
The Act states the owner of a mo-
torized vehicle is responsible for
damages resulting from the opera-
tion of the vehicle.
The Act states the owner of the
snow vehicle may be charged and
convicted under this Act.
As an operator of a motorized
snow vehicle - obey the rules as
they apply and respect the rights of
others.
Holstein club
sponsors meeting
Dairy producers are invited to at- I
tend an afternoon dairy meeting on
Tuesday, December 15 at the farm of
Joe and Emmy Winkel, RR 1,
Fordwich at Lot 27, Concession 2
of Howick township beginning at

The program sponsored by the
Huron county Holstein club will in-
clude three speakers after comments
from the host farmer.
Dr. Jack Cote, a cattle health con-
sultant from O.M.A.F. in Guelph
will talk about, "Getting your
calves off to a good start and a
strong finish."
"Setting realistic goals and look-
ing at yourself for answers" will be
the topic of Paul Irwin from Win -
land Farms in Atwood. He will also
ask the questions,"What do'I expect
from two-year old heifers?" and
"What percent of my herd do I
cull?"
The third subject will bc,"Culling
as a breed improvement tool."
Deadline for registration is De-
cember 31, 19$7.
The grain stabilization plan sup-
ports the income of Ontario farmers
in the production of the following
commodities: canola, seed corn,
corn, barley, oats, winter wheat,
white beans and soybeans.
Stabilization payments are made
when the past year's market price of
grain in the plan falls below the
support price. The support price is
calculated by using 95 per cent of
the previous five-year average mar-
ket price, with adjustments made for
cash costs. The grain stabilization
plan is a voluntary program, funded
one-third by the grower and two-
thirds by the Ontario Govcrrirnent.
