Livestock producers to get help TORONTO - Ontario livestock producers will receive up to S12 million from the federal and provin- cial governments to help offset in- creased production costs as a result of the 1988 drought. Federal Agriculture Minister Don Mazankowski and Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food Jack Rid- dell today announced the Canada - Ontario Livestock Drought Assis- tance Program. "This program is designed to help Ontario producers maintain their basic breeding herds in the face of added production costs because of the drought," Mazankowski said. "This program illustrates our commitment to maintain thc sever- ity of drought in various counties, districts or regional municipalities. Livestock drought assistance pay- ments will be made in areas where forage production falls below 80 percent of normal yields. Payments, to be made in two in- stallments, will be based on live-. stock inventories as of September ' .i8. i he first installment will be Iwo -thirds of the -total. To be eligible for the second in- stallment, producers must be en- rolled in the Ontario Crop Insu- rance Program for 1989. The Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food is now sending appli- cations forms to 24,000 livestock producers. Producers who do not receive a form in thc mail can pick one up at their local agricultural representative's office or from the federal Agriculture Development Branch offices in Guelph. Producers in designated drought areas of Ontario will be eligible for deferral of income from drought - induced sales of breeding livestock. The tax deferral provision will -be administered by Revenue Canada.
