The Farmers in Transition (FIT) pro- gram includes social, economic and educa- tional measures. "The adjustments now taking place in agriculture — due to low commodity prices and high input costs — are expected to result in several hundred farmers losing their farms this year," Riddell said. "This means loss of jobs, homes, sources of in- come and savings." Through FIT, the government hopes to curb the loss of farms. And where that can't be done, the program will assist the family to re-establish. As a first step, Ontario will temporarily defer action against farmers in trouble under three provincial assistance plans. The deferral means collection calls will not. be made and legal action will not be taken on arrears of Junior Farmer Establishment Loan Corporation mortgages and lease - with -option -to -purchase agreements under the Farm Enlargement Program. In addition, provincial requirements for" action on guarantees under Option C of the Ontario Farm Adjustment Assistance Pro- gram will be temporarily lifted. The temporary deferral will remain in ef- fect until January 15, 1986 or until the federal government lifts the moratorium on Farm Credit Corporation foreclosures, whichever comes first. Other measures under FIT include: — a 24-hour hotline where farmers can call a Zenith number for information on how to deal with' stress, how to locate professional assistance in dealing with creditors and to help there understand their rights and obligations. — the hiring and training of independent farm family advisors. They will review farm operations, help farmers, recognize what actions -must be taken and assist in fin- ding and accessing realistic options. The ad- visors, who will be working in the farmer's interest, will be successful farmers. — re-establishment assistance for farm families• who have had to discontinue work- ing in agriculture' because of financial pro- blems: This includes advice • on how to ac- cess various social service and assistance programs offered. by the provincial and federal governments. In addition, the pro- . 1provide farm families with finan- ,tial assis ante during. the period of job sear- ch, and further financial . and counselling. help to enhance their "employment oppor- tunities. • — an awareness campaign to, tell .farmers their rights and hotv to access them if they have problems. For example, the current Farm. Operating Credit Assistance Pro- gram. (FOCAP) provides for a third party review of the viability of a farmer's opera- tions before a creditor can take action.
