Many farmers plan to attend
annual meeting of Ontario F
Farmers from across Ontario
will gather in Iiamilton in two
weeks time to consider the
state of their industry. They'll
discuss the problems facing
farmers, and then develop rec-
ommendations for their solution.
The farmers will be attending
the annual convention of the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture
to be held at the Sheraton Con-
naught Hotel in Hamilton on
Monday, November 22 through
Wednesday, November 24.
One of the big issues on their
agenda will be taxation, prop-
erty taxation in particular.
Last year members of the
Federation withheld the educat-
ion portion of their property
taxes to protest what they cons-
idered to be an unfair method
of financing education. They
wanted the provincial govern-
ment to pick up the whole tab
for education, raising the funds
on a fair ability -to -pay basis.
As a result of the protest, the
Ontario government introduced
a rebate to farmers. Farmers
with 11 acres or more, or sales
of more than $2, 000. received
a 25 per cent rebate on their
property taxes. Last year farm-
ers got about $15 million. This
year about $16 million.
Now the Ontario government
has proposed to scrap the whole
rebate system. Instead it intends
to introduce a tax credit scheme,
f
Under this program a farmer
would apply for tax credits on
both property and sales taxes
when he completes his income
tax returns. The amount he re-
ceived would depend on his
income.
Some members feel this is
merely a token gesture, and
that it doesn't really answer
the problems of education taxes
on property.
It's possible that federation
delegates to the convention may
decide to oppose the govern-
ment proposal.

Silage conference
Ontario's dairy, beef and hog
producers run some of the most
efficient and elaborate operat-
ions in the world. For many of
these farmers, silage and high
moisture grains are an integral
part of the system.
"Silage Systems for the Sev-
enties" is the theme of the Ont-
ario Silage Conference, to be
held December 15 and 16 at the
Skyline Hotel, Rexdale. The
conference will bring together
experts from the United States
and Canada to examine the
many facets of these modern
systems. Engineers, economists,
crops and livestock specialists,
as well as some of the top
commercial farmers will be on
hand.
