Hire's :how the Progressive: Conservative
program for eastern farmers will assure:
m,.
The family farm has ' been fighting a losing battle. The. average
income per farm in eastern Canada is less than $1,600 per year.
Increasing costs of, feed grains, non -marketable surpluses of butter,
eggs, milk, the high cost of credit, and hit-or-miss government
policies have driven many farmers from their land.
The Progressive Conservative Party program is planned to give the
utmost assistance to family farm operations; to establish a program
to convert marginal farms into paying farms. Here are the first
steps that must be taken:
1. A permanent Eastern AAgricul-
tura) Bureau — This permanent hu-
rcau for Eastern' Agriculture would
co-ordinate agricultural policies and
conduct overall assessment of the
,most economic utilization of the
great Eastern agricultural resource.
2. iced grain — Transportation as-
sistance to provide feed grains at
reasonable prices for beef, dairy, hog
and poultry firming. Assistance for
forage and grain crops. I.ow intefest
rate to encourage extension of feed
grain acreage. increase emphasis on
feeder lots and community pastu-
rage. Metter fertilizer subsidies.
3. Surpluses — Step up sale of agri-
cultural surpluses to foreign- conn-'
tries. initiate effective anti-dumping
measures. Assistance to industries
utilizing dairy products to climin';itc
nem-markctahle surpluses of Nutter:
eggs, milk. skim milk powder and
industrial milk.
