IPA RIM NEWS Federation seeks more suppor If you are concerned about the farm credit situation, or interested in agricultural sub- jects being taught in the schools, then the Huron County Federation of Agriculture is looking for your support. This week, November 12 to 16, the Federa- tion is holding # driv6 to increase its membership so it can lobby more effective- ly for the farming community. In recent years, theOntario Federation of Agriculture has been instrumental in per- suading the government to require foreign landowners to register their holdings; established the 60 per cent land tax rebate; adapted the small business development bond for agricultural use; passed a new and better trespass act, and line fences act; reduced rates for farm truck licenses; and promoted several capital grant programs. "Several services are available to members," says Doug Garniss, the newly elected president of the Huron Federation. "There is medical insurance, farm family group life insurance and personal om- budsman assistance available." With the help of new members, the Federation will be lobbying in the future for the abolition of capital gains tax, agribonds, "improvement in the farm credit situation, freedom from harassment from non-farm groups, a policy for wetlands that will pro- tect farm interests, and promotion of agricultural education in the schools. Farmers participating in the membership drive for the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in this area include,from left, Tony McQuail, Stan Mcllwain and Gordon Hill.

Canagrex was established , to asAist farmers in selling Canadian agriculture products to foreign markets. Mr. Pelissero said it takes time to establish contacts, but Canagrex has run out of time. He noted ' that the big item touted by farmers in the election campaign was the removal of capital gains- tax. The federal governmenthas referred this to a committee. The OFA president was pleased with the government action to remove the federal farm fuel tax. He was also happy that federal agriculture minister John Wise has direction announced a freeze on Farm Credit Corporation's power of sale. Mr. pelissero said the OFA had presented 11 issues in the summer election and the government has talked about seven of them. He encouraged OFA members to turn their attention to the provincial scene where a leadership convention is drawing near. Mr. Pelissero said he would be asking the farmers he would be visiting in the afternoon to join the OFA because of the common voice it gives farmers. He would also touch on other benefits such as -an insurance program and the farm machinery agency.
