NFU lists solution for stable farm
BY GRACE AUSTIN
The National Farmers
Union says that the federal
government is following an
agricultural policy of un-
derdevelopment. The N.F.U.,
in a brief submitted in
February for the Food
Strategy Conference, listed a
series of solutions if Canada
is to have a stable farm
economy and a sufficient food
supply.
The list includes farm price
stabilization, an energy and
transportation policy geared
to regional development and
a Land -Use and Tenure policy
which protects farm land
from urban and industrial
sprawl and keeps land out of
the hands of corporate and
non-resident land owners.
"Consumers are afraid of
farmers demands," says the
N.F.U., "because the blame
farmers for the risi` •qts of
food. We sympathize ith
their fear of rising food prices
and we know the price that
the consumer pays is
disproportionate to what the
farmer gets for producing it.
But the blame must be
levelled at theprocessors,
distributors and large retail
chains. They are the ones
who cause the increase. Don't

blame the producer who is

In summary the N.F.U.
wants the federal govern-
ment to counteract the
•
current drift toward un-
derdevelopment in
agricultural production. Food
production is among the last
of Canadian controlled
resource industries. The
production potential of
Canadian farm families
should be regarded as a
positive factor in our
economy.
