OFA urges insurance plan
In a brief presented to the
Ontario Cabinet last week the
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) told the
min'. sters ^that it had a choice of
bringing in an act to permit
OFA to insure the return on
production cost foto their
members or face the prospect
of farms closing down and
import all food from outside the
province, within ten years.
Gordon Hill, OFA president,
said that his organization, with
over25,000 members, nearly all
marketing ' organizations and
co-operatives, represent the
vast' "majority of Ontario's
farmers and will administer
the insurance plans with the
marketing organizations. The
premium the brief said, would'
be shared, with farmers paying
one-third and the government
two-thirds. Agriculture
minister Stewart and Premier
Davies agreed that farmers
can't be expected to produce
below cost and stay in business.
`:Even a'farmer who owns his
own land can no longer go
Wife gets the honor
through a bad year just by
tightening his belt", Mr: Hill
"Specialized farming in
one or two commodities* is
common today, so if that
commodity doesn't yield the
price expected at the time the
crop is sown, the farmer has no
others -to fall back on." ,
The brief said that the cost of
production would be negotiated
by the federation with the
government and include all ,
cost of production, investment
,and labour, It also showed the
trend of declining farmland and
production and predicted that if
this trend -continues, there will
be shortages of many :,farm
commodities in a span of ten
years. It -is clearly not prudent
in our day, to simply assume"
that abundant food supplies for
export will be available at
reasonable prices.
Mr. Hill said that the
reception of the brief by the
Cabinet was encouraging
enough forothe federation to 'go
ahead and aevelop more
qtailed proposals and costs.
