northern and shield regions.
In these areas the reserve is
over 17 million acres.
Although the use of much of
this land is limited by soil and
climate conditions, a
significant proportion of it is
suitable for forage and grain
By Jack Riddell M.P.P.
Agriculture and Food
Minister, Bill Newman, has
released an agricultural
inventory based on a study of
Provincial Assessment data.
The figures show that
Ontario has 16,805,715 acres
of land in farmuse, of which
75 percent is in the southwest,
central and eastern regions.
Another two million acres is
available for production, a
potential increase of 16
percent.
The remaining 25 percent of.
agricultural' land in use is the
crops_
The reserve of agricultural
land includes small holdings,
both residential and vacant,
as well as land that has not
been farmed for more than
two years. Small holdings are
those over 25.99 acres, These
are considered large enough
to be farmed. The vacant
properties included are those
over 10.99 acres. Because
they have no structures on
them, they are considered a
suitable size for certain
agricultural uses.
In releasing these
statistics, Mr. Newman said
"The assessment data
demonstrate that in addition
to its large acreage in
agricultural use, Ontario also
has a significant reserve of
agricultural land available
for the future."
As a matter of interest
Huron.,, ,County has 763,933
acres in farm use and 3988
acres in reserve Ian'd or
expressed in percentages,
there is .5 percent reserve
land in, Huron County. Mid-
dlesex County has 691,859 in
farm use and 3,526 acres in
reserve land. This again
amounts to .5 percent reserve
land in Middlesex County.
Farmers will be interested
in knowing that there will be a
10 percent reduction in the
premiums for winter wheat. -
The maximum premium
rate for the 1977-78 crop is
$3.7.5 per acre, which provides
protection at $2.75 per bushel
and a reseeding benefit of $25
per acre. The $3 per acre
premium rate provides for an
established price per bi)shel
of $2.25 and a reseeding
benefit of $20. an acre. At the
$2.25 per acre premium, the
farmer gets protection at
$1.75 a bushel and a $15 an
acre reseeding benefit.
The deadline for ap-
plications or renewals for the
1977-78 winter wheat plan is
October 20, 1977.
In making the an\
nouncement the Minister of
Agriculture and Food said
that Ontario wheat crops
have been good in recent
years and as a result claims
payments have been low.
"This good claims experience
is reflected in the reduced
premium for 1977-78".
Crop insurance which is
available for 30 crops, is a
production guarantee in-
surance plan, which provides
farmers with protection
against most natural
hazards. If a farmer's actual
production is less than his
guarantee, his crop insurance
will compensate him for the
difference. The commission
annually reviews and updates
each insurance plan to reflect
changing conditions in the
field.
Application forms and
further information are
available from local crop
insurance agents or from the
Crop insurance Comrpission
of Ontario, Legislative
Buildings, Toronto, Ontario,
