Ontario Beginning Farmers
Assistance program lasts five years
The Ontario Beginning Farmer
Assistance Program (BFAP) has been
available since January 1, 1983 to help peo-
ple get started into farming, but not
everyone realizes that it's a five-year pro-
gram. 1987 is its last year and December 31
is the application deadline date.
If a proposal to start into farming is ac-
cepted by an eligible lender (FCC, banks
and trust companies 1, BFAP provides an in-
terest rebate for the first five years of the
loan. The rebate may lower the cost of in-
terest to eight per cent. The current FCC
rate is used as the bench mark for interest
reduction.
BFAP is meant for people starting into
farming and has been especially helpful in
many cases for those buying into the family
business.
There have been over 200 BFAP, contact
the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food Office in Clinton.

Egg prices fall in some provinces
OTTAWA - The price paid to farmers for
Grade A large eggs will drop in some pro-
vinces in March, the Canadian Egg
Marketing Agency i ('EMA) announced
recently.
The farm -gate price will fall by one cent in
Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Saskat-
chewan, Alberta and British Columbia due
to lower feed and conversion costs.
However, prices in Newfoundland, Nova

Manitoba will remain unchanrru because
egg producers in these provinces did not
-recover their full production costs in
February.

at the beginning of each month using a cost
of production formula.
