"There is some evidence," .he said, "that in Ontario today ,we are now passing the ;point of optimum efficiency in farm size - that point.,.,b.!eing in the range of .300-600 acres." ' He said the corporate farm ' might not increase efficiency but certainly would bring a speedy end to the rural community as it ,, is today. `;Farming;" he said, "was not just a business, it was a way,of life." Mr. -' Carroll said the N.D.P. realized Ontario had a large, ' • number of farms that were not economically viable and that the total of farms must be reduced. "However," he said, "based on 1966 figures, even if all farmers with less 'than $25,000 capital value of their farms had been abandoned, more than half the farmers remaining would still have bee"n earning a `less -than -satisfactory income'." "The N.D.P.," he said, "would legislate to restrict -- corporate ownership of farms and to keep farms in Canadian hands. It would initiate tax reform, 'includitg taking over 80 per cent of the cost of education ai'►d separate assessment for farm land from farm residences." Mr. Carroll said the N.D.P. believes in producer -controlled marketing boards which would be • empowered to bargain collectively with food processing and, retailing companies over the erms and caonnditions ^ of cantracis ° e wl'6ri " I and indlti ri producers.
