(10-12) 2007 tax deferrals available OWEN SOUND — Owners of breeding livestock in certain areas of southern, eastern and northwest Ontario who were forced to sell all or part of their herd in 2007 due to drought conditions will be eligible for a one-year tax deferral on 2007 income from these sales. The announcement was made by Guy Lauzon, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri - Food and Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario, who made the announcement on behalf of Minister of Agriculture and Agri - Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board Gerry Ritz. The deferral made after reviewing fo yield, precipi soil moistur water suppl for the 200 growing sea "This government understands the ongoing impact drought has on farmers, which is why Ontario farmers struggling with drought will continue to receive support from the government of Canada through our tax deferral pro- gram," said Lauzon. "Tax provisions offered by this program will allow farmers to restock their herds in the spring." The deferral was made after reviewing forage yield, precipitation, soil moisture and water supply data for the 2007 growing season. In the case of consecutive years of drought designation, producers may defer sales income to the first year in which the area is no longer designated. "Over the years farmers in Ontario and across Canada have was rage tati o n, e and y data 7 son. shown their continued resilience in facing bad weather challenges," said Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty. Thirty per cent of income from net sales can be deferred if the breed- ing herd has been reduced by at least 15 per cent, but less than 30 per cent. Where the herd has been reduced by 30 per cent or more, 90 per cent of income from net sales can be deferred. This will help replenish breeding stock in the coming year. Eligible producers will be able to request this deferral when filing their 2007 income tax returns. Livestock producers are advised to contact their local Canada Revenue Agency Tax Services Office for details on the income tax provi- sions. Seven steps to personal success How do successful peo- ple get that way? Whether it is in their working careers or per- sonal pursuits, people who achieve success have cer- tain characteristics in common. It starts with self-esteem and confi- dence in your ability. Learn the habit of success step-by-step: Step I Expect success. A posi- tive mental attitude pro- duces positive results. By contrast, if you believe you will fail you probably will. Step 2 Have a plan. See your goal clearly and chart a course for reaching it–whether it's something you want to gain in six months or six years. By staying focused on that target your priorities along the way should become obvious. Step 3 Go the extra mile. When you do your best and give more than is asked of you, you will usu- ally benefit in return. Step 4 Profit from defeat. You won't master your under- takings without making a few mistakes along the way. Coping with failure builds strength, confi- dence and wisdom. If you learn from it and refuse to give up, every defeat can be a step toward success. Step 5 Accept responsibility. Only you are accountable for your actions and your future. Welcoming responsibility and chal- lenge is an indication of your ability and self- esteem. Step 6 Welcome new ideas. Change is a certainty and new ideas are the seeds of progress. By accepting change and respecting the opinions of others you can't help but grow and succeed. Step 7 Keep physically fit. It takes energy to succeed. Don't underestimate the power of exercise, good nutrition and relaxation to maintain your strength and enjoy the journey to success.
