NFU says farmers are struggling to stay
In a brief presented
recently to the Cabinet
Committee on Resources
Development of the
Ontario Government, the
National Farm Union
said there are thousands
of farmers in Ontariowho
are struggling to remain
in farming, because they
must subsidize the farm
operations from off -farm
income sources.
"In 1976 census
statistics revealed 38
percent of Ontario's
farmers reported off -
farm work averaging
181.1 days or . over 36
weeks per year. Of this
number over 44 percent
worked equivalent to full
time or 268.2 days," said
an NFU brief.
At the same time the
number of farmers
operating over 560 acres
has risen, but so have the
risks.
"Farm Credit Act
figures indicate total
loans extended to far-
mers in Ontario during
1971-72 amounted to 28.2
million, while in 1976-77
total loans reached $122.9
million. Higher
borrowings are often
based on inflated land
values. Ontario's farm
land price index (1961c
100) stood at 593 in 1976,
the highest 'in Canada.
The national average
index was 388," stated the
NFU brief.
The NFU brief further
stated that "inflated land
values relative to farm
prices and productivity
ratios distorts the farm
economy all of which
points to a contradictory
and unstable situation in
farming, especially for
the younger farmers."

merry
