There were Some bad experiences • with a 230 KV line to Seaforth. There were concerns about Hydro plans for Nuclear Power Plants and multiple power lines crossing the county back in the early 70's. The farm community in Huron County has worked consistently over the years to pre- sent their concerns about,the impact which hydro proposals would have on fanning and farmland in this agricultural county. The Foodland-Hydro Couunittee is one more ex- pression of the interest which farmers take in ensuring that Hydro's plans do not run rough shod over foodland interests. The present transmission study has come about because Ontario Hydro feel that there is a vital need for new transmission facilities in Southwestern Ontario. In 1981, Ontario Hydro conducted studies of a number of alternative plans for the ex- pansion of the bulk transmission system in southwestern Ontario. An environmental assessment was prepared and submitted to the Ontario Government in 1981. Public Hearings were held under the Consolidated Hearings Act and study areas approved for detailed route • location studies. In 1903 Hydro completed these route and site selec- tion studies within the approved study areas (between Bruce and Barrie, and from Lon- don to theRax-nilton-Nanticoke area). However, in June 1984 a decision of the Divisional Cote of Ontario invalidated the findings of the 1982 public hearing. As a result Hydro is proceeding with additional route and site selection studies in the area between the Bruce Development and Lon- don and the area between Cambridge, Brantford and Woodstock. The route now being identified is the Bruce to London route Which include Huron and Middlesex Counties. Within thiS area a number of alternate routes have been established. A process of elimination will be used to derive at the preferred route, Fac, tors to be taken into consideration during the process of elimination will be the costs, the impact on the environment and informa- tion gleaned at the recent information ses- sions held. ‘,0 Hydro expect that by the first of May the process of elimination would be complete And the route to be reconunended, decided upon. Once the preferred route from Bruce to London is established, Hydro's route and site for Southwestern Ontario will be iden- tified. Two of the three areas (Bruce to Bar- rie, London to Nanticoke and Bruce to Lon- don) will be involved. They expect to make the announcement of the recommended routes for Southwestern Ontario this sum- mer. Before making the decision Ontario Hydro will know the amount of acreage of farmland that will be involved, the river systems that will be crossed and the impact on the wetlands. Following the announcement, Hydro will make a submission to the Ministry of the Environment for an Environmental Assess- ment. The objective of the environmental assessment is to identify the impact of the transmission lines on the environment. Ministries will participate in the review and the review will be published this fall. Public Hearings will be held and he decid- ed upon by the Joint Board,, established under the Consolidated Hearings Act. The Board has the authority to give approval to acquire property and construct facilities. Preliminary hearings will be held. It will hear submissions and decide where the hearings will be. The hearings will be held puns en:at nt do athe y oCnoeu isnotlierdaestteedaora Hearioneg:eaAct.by Individuais, organizations, groups,property owthe proposals may participate in we rumn.. Hearings: The Hearings are expected to take place this fall. Interest in the power corridors is ex- tremely high as indicated by the attendance of 200 to 300 and sometimes more people at the Information Centres. The Hydro Study Team have received a great deal of perti- nent information from property owners. However, owners and interested persons who could not attend and have concerns, should write for Mr. R.J.

"The worst of the economic adjustment in agriculture is yet ' to come," says Tom Oegema, presidentl titthe Christian Farmers ederation of Ontario. The CFFO have drafted a detailed proposal that, if adopted, would allow farmers to apply to a special tribunal for debt `set-aside' for up to three years. '"We have concluded that debt -set aside is the best targetted assistanep for those who need more time to adjust to new. economic realities," he says. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has developed the 'Agri -bond' concept to make credit available to farmers at lower than . market rates. This proposal would not be a direct cost to government; it would allow a lender tax concessions on the interest he would receive thus allowing him to lend money at less than market rates. On April 4 at 8:30 the Huron County Federation of Agriculture is sponsoring a meeting at Holmesville Public School where Bill Jongejan, vice-president of the CFFO, will talk about debt set-aside, and Jack Wilkinson vice-president of OFA will discuss Agri -bonds.
