Speaking in the House of Commons, Steckle asked, "... Will the. Minister today commit to adequate funding of the Sea Lamprey Control Program to ensure long-term sustainability of our Great Lakes fisheries'!" The Minister responded to the aforementioned question by stat- ing "... the government remains committed to protecting the in- land fisheries resources, particu- larly of the Great Lakes , and to the continuation of the Sea Lam- prey Parasite Program. There are however, some negotiations going on between governments, as you know there is an interna- tional ' aspect to this, also we have discussions with the Onta- rio'Government. i trust I will be able to give him the answer that he would like before the end of the month." . Commenting after receiving the response from the Minister, Steckle stated that "The Sea Lamprey is a non -indigenous marine parasite that represents a serious threat to thc future of the fish stocks in the Great Lakes." Steckle concluded by saying, "The Sea Lamprey Control Pro- gram has been an issue that has gathered considerable public at- tention over the course of the past couple of years. I am pleased with the Minister''s commitment and I look forward to receiving additional informa- tion prior to April 1st." _DATE FA p resident visits. Usbojne Twp. Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Ed Segswor4i toured the region last week to tell farmers about the. Rebuild, Restore,. Reinvest campaign By Craig Bradford T -A Reporter USBORNE TOWNSHIP - On- tario Federation of Agriculture. members just want what things the way they used to be. That's the message behind the OFA's new campaign called Re- build, Restore, Reinvest (the Three Rs). OFA president Ed Segsworth of Milton toured the Huron -Perth area last week to promote the cam- paign and listen to OFA members' concerns. At his Exeter -area stop at Bob and Pat Down's farm in Usborne Township, 10 area farmers met with Segsworth and talked about the Three Rs campaign. He also fielded questions and.. comments on various farming issues like land prices, reassessment, the environ- inent, gas leases, decommissioning, provincial downloading, municipal amalgamation and banks. But Segsworth's main objective was to tell farmers about the OFA's new lobbying campaign. The OFA. on behalf of 38 farming organiza- tions/commodity boards, wants the province to increase funding of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs by $80 mil- lion a year, or simply, back to the level OMAFRA was funding in the late '80s -early '\ . For example. OMAFRA fundi 'ould have to be increased by - , cent to reach the level of .t it had from the province in '91-92. Segstvorth said it's time the prov- ince restored the OMAFRA. budget now tbat Ontario's book are be- ginlfiAtto be balanced. Bob Down, the Ontario Corn Pro- ducers' Association president, was pleased to host Segsworth who was happy to be visiting the area for the first time since he was elected OFA president last November. "It's great," Segsworth said when asked how he likes the Huron -Perth area. "Agriculture is agriculture. The people in agriculture are prob- ably the most friendly in Canada." The Three Rs campaign address- es spec ific funding areas including research, the environment, market development, consumer confidence and risk management. A visit from the boss. Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Ed Segsworth toured Huron Perth last week to meet with farmers to hear their concerns and to tell them about OFA's Re- build, Restore, Reinvest campaign that is asking the province to throw more money into ag- ricultural programs.

Call the Times -Advocate 235-1331 Cargill funding to aid public corn research GUELPH - The 'Ontario Corn Producers' Association is delighted by Cargill's announcement at the OCPA annual banquet to provide $60,000 in new funding to support public corn research in Ontario. While details of projects to be supported remain to be worked out, it is understood that the funds will be used to support one of thc prior- ity areas identified by the OCPA Research and Technology Com- mittee. The three-year $60,000 commitment represents an amount at least 'equivalent to 50 ccnts/bag on seed corn sales by that com- pany. However, the Cargill con- tribution is not linked, to the corn seed research levy proposal. The OCPA also appreciates sup- port -for public corn research in On- :tario which has been provided by other companies, notably Pioneer and Novartis. OCPA-Gustafson -"Corn Connection" The Gustafson company ("the seed treatment company") has agreed to continue sponsorship of the OCPA-Gustafson Corn Connec- tion web site (www.corninfo.com). This site provides a one-stop ac- cess gateway to corn technology in- formation on the Internet. The "webmaster" is David Morris, who surfs the web regularly to ensure that all relevant links are included (and organized) on the Corn Con- nection. This is a service which has been well received by farmers in Ontario and elsewhere. THE LAST in Grey and Brown NEW POST No more broken, cracked or rotten fence posts.
