Amendments to marketing programs act OTTAWA - Legislation improving cash advance programs for produc- ers received Royal Assent recently. Minister of Agriculture and Agri - Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board Chuck Strahl says, "I am pleased to say that among the first pieces of legislation introduced by our government to receive Royal Assent, is a bill aimed at providing greater financial support to farmers. "The passage of Bill C-15 is an important first step, and shows this new government's commitment to providing farmers with programs to help them grow and prosper in the years ahead." Cash advance programs provide spring and fall cash advances to producers, a portion of which is interest free, to meet high cash flow requirements at spring seeding and fall harvest. Bill C-15 was introduced May 18 Usborne Central School Grade 7/8 teacher Kim Hayter was presented with an award from AgCare June 27 during the Grade 8 graduation. Hayters' and A.J. Moses' students were the first class to jump on board with the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority's 60th anniversary. AgCare partially funded the classes' project, titled Sustainable Food and Crop Production. Dave Marshall of AgCare, left, presents Hayter, right, with the award. Marshall felt Hayter put a substantial amount of work into the in-depth student project which required much research and time. (photo/Nina Van Lieshout) amending the Agricultural Marketing Programs Act (AMPA) to: • consolidate the Advance Payments Program (fall) and the Spring Credit Advance Program as a single program under the AMPA; • expand the coverage to include livestock and more crops; • increase the overall limit on advances from $250,000 to $400,000; • increase the amount of interest- free advances from $50,000 to $100,000. It is anticipated the new program will be available in early 2007. Legislation to improve cash advance programs have been passed. As an interim measure while the changes are being implemented, an Enhanced Spring Credit Advance Program (ESCAP) is now in place to make more money available to farmers through interest-free loans. 110 lbs. and over 154. - 155.
