Announce beef income program
The Ontario Government
has announced the introduct-
ion of the Ontario Beef
Calf Income Stabilization
Program as the first such pro-
gram to which reference was
made in the budget speech
last April. The voluntary pro-
gram is based on the insur-
ance principle whereby a
stabilization fund will be
established from the producer
and Government premiums
with the Ontario government
adding $2.00 to the fund for
each $1.00 of producer
premiums.
The program provides for
the establishment of an
annual support level for

weaned calves and if the
average price of weaned
calves for that year falls
below the support level a
payment will be calculated
back to a per cow basis and
paid from the fund. As
mentioned above, the prog-
ram follows ;. the insurance
principle and consequently
is not designed to cover the
full costs of production.
The support level is establ-
ished on the basis of covering
100% of the cash operating
costs in a cow -calf operation
and a partial percentage of the
costs associated with labour,
management and return on
investment' Ontario cow -calf
producers who opt to enrol
in the program must join
for a minimum period of
five years. There is no max-
imum on the number of
cows which may be enrolled
in the program by a producer
and a producer may join
the program during the enrol-
ment period in any year.
Over a five year period
payment into and out of the
stabilization fund should
balance. The program as-
sumes that,a 450 lb. wean-
ed calf will be sold from
85% of the cow herd and
payment made regardless of
whether the enrolled producer
keeps or sells his calves.
Cows enrolled with the
Canadian Dairy Commission
(and hence shipping fluid or
industrial milk) are not elig-
ible for the program.
