Since Oct. 8 the administration has received almost 5,000 applica- tions. Cheques totalling over $30 million have been sent to produc- ers and the average payment is $10,580. "This new government is com- mitted to keeping rural communi- ties strong," says Strahl. "The Options program is provid- ing income support as well as business assessment and skills development assistance to low- income farm families who are most in need," Strahl adds. The Canadian Farm Families Options Program provides imme- diate short-term income support to low income farm families. Eligible applicants receive a pay- ment based on their 2005 income tax return, that brings them up to a maximum income of $25,000 for fam- ilies and $15,000 for indi- viduals if they have a commer- cial farm. It helps low income farm families explore options to raise their on or off - farm income for the future. Applicants must commit to use business assessment or skills develop- ment programs.
