No enrollment
fees for grain
stabilization plan
A new three-year Ontario grain
stabilization plan has been
announced by Agriculture and
Food Minister Jack Riddell.
A major change from previous
programs is that there will be no
enrollment fees for the new plan
which covers corn — including
seed corn and popping corn — soy-
beans, winter wheat, spring wheat,
barley, oats and canola.
Enrollment in the plan is
required only once for the full
three-year term.
Under the plan, the Farm Income
Stabilization Commission provides
support payments to enrolled grain
growers when market prices fall
below 95 per cent of the previous
five-year average market price,
with adjustments made for cash
costs.
As in the past, the commission
will cover two-thirds of the amount
of any calculated support payment.
Enrollment is voluntary, but the
number of producers involved
increased steadily over the three
years of the previous program. In
1987, some 14,000 were enrolled.
In 1986, the most recent year for
which final figures have been com-
piled, $20 million was paid out to
growers in stabilization payments
under the plan.
Deadline for registration is April
28, 1989. Brochures and all neces-
sary forms are available at all
OMAF offices.
