VI PAPER
G ve
The recent announcement
by the Minister of
Agriculture, the Honourable
Eugene F. Whelan, that the
government has approved
funds to assist Canfarm, has
been welcomed by the
President, Peter Hannam.
"Mr. Whelan has made it
clear in his statement that
this will terminate all
Federal Government in-
volveme[It with Canfarm,"
said Hannam, "and to us,
that is a very positive step."
"Our shareholders Faust
now make a choice among
the options available to us,"
he added. "Basically, we
have three possible ways. we
can go and it remains for us
to decide which one will give
our clients the best service."
The three options open t�
Canfarm are:
1. Increased investment by

possible before because of
the restrictions on the Co-
operative which were part of
government agreements.
3. Sell Canfarm to a
company which could
demonstrate its ability and
interest in serving Canadian
farmers.
A Choice among these
options will be made at a
shareholders meeting to be
called in early January. Mr.
Whelan has assured Co-op
President, Peter Hannam,
that he will do his best to
obtain Cabinet approval for
any plan that enables
Canfarm to carry on.
"Although there are still
many details to be
clarified," Hannam noted,
"this will be good news for
our farmer clients and 300
agencies. The past few
months of uncertainty have
been hard on us all and I
know that the news that
Canfarm will be carrying on
will be good news for all
these people."
"It was unfortunate that
these funds could not have
been approved earlier so
that the confusions and
negative publicity during the
last few months could have
been avoided," said Han-
nam. "However, I am
pleased that we have been
able to demonstrate, during
this period, that Canfarm
does have a good future and
that we have made goad
progress. I believe we have
been able to dearly show the
Minister and others, that the
groundwork has been laid for
a very active market for
Canfarin services. The, fact
that our agencies were so
forceful in their requests
that the service be continued
proved that we had made a
bit with accountants-"
"Our management has
already initiated major
changes in the structure and
staffing of Canfarm since the
government announcement.
Many of these (flanges could
not be made under the
agreement we have been
working under for the last
two years. I ani looking
forward to 1981 for renewed
growth in Canfarm ser-
vices."
