France, Kemptville Agri- cultural School Eastern Ontario has a long tradition "of suioces-tsful family fardns. Some of these farms hole been in 1�l}e same family name for several generations,,, which means that they have cell sfa>dcess+ idly fiarnsf"e-rrei frown one generation to the next. Events are beginning, to take shape. which ' may, change, all *this. Far bne thing, the modem family farm its larger than ever 'before-. In the last twenty years 'the average --capital investment on each fanm has increased by over 300 per cent! The number of cattle handled on each farm has increased by nearly .90 per .cent as well. Today's family farm has more work to do than ever before and fewer people to he'1p them do it. The large amount of capital needed to run a modern farm' adds to the difficulties of' hand- ing the farm an from one gen- eration to the next. Let me tell you arta t a recent experience of mine. Fred Mason (I have changed is name) asked erne about p ssimg his farm on to his oldest boy, Arthur. Fred and Art figured the farm to -be worth $$50,000 at going prices. Takin, into mount unpaid he11a on Art's part over the past ten years, Fred thought ttat $20,000 i wo 'h be a fajr price for the farm as a pin' concern. By sel)at�g : fob $20,000, Art could handle this easilyrthrotugh an D „ xz tar.io.1.1.izni azr',.k'aran er. _Loan,._ and would not he saddlef.with. heavy annual • mprtrgage pay- 7nents. What did I think? I think ,that Fred is doing •a wondanful.thing In passing the farm on to his son in such a generous manner. I would like to keep this generosity to sort Art only though. Why extend - this•• generosity to the Income Tax Department? As the ar- rangement stance now, Fred Mason will have to pay income tax on all the cattle and ma- chinery that lie sells. These items for income tax ptmposes will be valued at market prices and the total value will ap- proach $25,000. That is a lot of lncome in one year to pay tax on. The Inieeme Tax Department will also' be interested in the sale for another reason. They are entitled to 'collect gift tax on the difference between tthe sale ,price -and fair market value, or about $30,000 in this case. Too mulch "hard earned" mo- ney will be lost if the agree- ment goes through in its p„re- spnt form. • if Fred will make useof the "tax free gift" and "fbasie herd". prodas.i'on.s ,of the l-ncomt Talc Act and ,also the semi-v4ces-of.- a:x; guou"-aeeeu rtant, , he can prevent this dangerous leak in his capital assets, The accouTttan't ,.can also- help Fred. and Art work out a good father - and -son agreement, an agree- anent?which can tihen he written up by a lawyer. - Who is going to get ,your farm?,By getting to work on farmyour, far.agreements 'today Kinsman , Larry Wood. frp•,fir i h was repesented at th Pres>'on has been elected.o le office of Governor.for Dct 1 of, the Association of Kinsmen Clubs and 'will have charge of co-ordinating the activities for the .District which includes the Kinsmen Club of Groderich. lie will assume office -on September 1st.
