Huron -Bruce, the thberal
Agriculture Critic, this week
called for the Onirio'
Government to designate,.
Eastern Ontario farm lands a
disaster area.
u.. "The heavy rainfall in the
past two months in South
'Carleton, Dundas, Prescott -
Russell and Glengarry`.Counties
.means that most of the crops in
those areas are without harvest
potential", he stated. He noted
that many started tosell their
cattle herds as they cannot
afford to purchase feed. "I have
been told that ,hay is selling at
$1.50 per kale in some areas",
Mr. Gaunt said, "which is
beyond the reach of a11,
farmers."
Mr, W.A. Stewart, the
Minister of Agriculture has
toured the area and is aware of
the problem, but Mr. Gaunt is
critical „of the Ontario
Government's offer- to match
-any funds raised locally. "Any
funds raised locally would just
be peanuts," he said, "and the
Federal. Government is
hamstrung as they cannot inject
funds into the area unless the
Provincial Governrinent declares
it a disaster area."
In addition, he called on the
Ontario Government to.
subsidize transportation costs
for hay shipped from Western
Ontario to the East. "The hay is
available in the West, but the
Eastern Ontario farmer cannot
be expected to bear the cost of
transportation."
Mr.. Gaunt, indicated..that an
exchange program has. been
discussed among the farmers

whereby dairy herdss_ in the East
would be shipped to Western
Ontario fariir ers who w,ulc feed
them and dare for them until
next springin return for the
milk produced. "In this way The
farmer wouldnot be faced with
the enormous' cost of acquiring a
new herd next year," 'he said. "I
understand the Milk Board is
sympathetic to. waiving the
quotas • tQ acco umodate such a
'system, but .the" Government
must be instrumental ' 'in
establishing such a program,
.Many rules" would- have to t?e
estabbshed to Make it work,
such as who would bear the cost
if a calf or cow were lost over
the winter."
Mr. Gaunt also attacked the'
Crop Insurance Program
presently . administered by the
Province. 4 "The' insurance
doesn't cover existing crops
which cannot be harvested due
to conditions such as we've,had
this year, ,and when a crop loss
does qua=lify the payment is olnly
sufficient to 'recover the -original
NFU
Quebec govt shos the wa
—investment in seed and
The 1st tnncome
.by.the farmer.F The .s
Insurance Pro s tp-
reviewed and revised."
"Many farmers will endure
great financial hardship 'this
year and theshortages will be
retiected .m -consumer Prjees and
still the Davis Government does
• nothing, except continue to ,pour
moneyinto things 'like Ontario
Place which: lost' $2 :million last,
year and, is now headed toward
greater financial disaster,"
"If the Quebec Government
,can ear mark three million
dollars for the farmers hit with
crop losses, surely Ontario can,
in addition, to a like amount
from -the "Federal Government' °'
These were the comments,
referring to farmers in Eastern
Ontario • who suffered severe
crop and• hay losses due to
weather Vond'it ions.
mi.. Sanford said that without
assi'stanc'e "many 'of' these
farmers will fall by the wayside.
Their talents and skills will be
lost from the farming scene. The,.
efforts of the Government so far,
matching dollar for dollar for
monies that the farmers can
raise will not solve the problem.
These farmers have been in
financial difficulties for some
time and have no money to start
the ball rolling.'
_ g.
It has long been- the policy of
Government to give grants to
corporations to build new
factories and supposedly create,
jobs. A recent example is the
announcement of a grant of
$867,000• to Live Strausse of..
banana--i,rd'.; raubsidtaxref-the."
U.S. Company to establish a
plant in Cornwall,
Farmers should expect the;
same''treatment as corporations'
so they can continue .farming,:
and contribute to the general
-economy- V-.of...F:anada—_.i -..�

feels.
