These amendments to the ASA will provide a framework within which tripartite stabilization programs can operate, Mr. Wise said, ' . t co-operative and more flexible ap- proach to commodity stabilization Will be in the interest of the entire agriculture indus- try," he added. Bill C-25 allows the federal government to enter into stabilization agreements with provinces and commodity groups, provided the terms of the agreements do not give one region financial benefit over another or encourage any region to over -produce a specific commodity. This gives the government the flexibility to take into account all major distortions to orderly marketing when negotiating stabili- zation agreements. The Minister commented that the tripartite principles of Bill C-25 have been on the drawing board for many years, and he tripartite agreement. W e provided the enabling legislation. Now, the opportunity for action is in the producers' hands," he said, "The intention of the Act , is to protect producers against severe cost -price squeeze situations while respecting comparative and competitive advantages. "I feel that the amendments to the Act bring this legislation into focus with the trade realities of the 1980s." Finally, under the provisions of Bill C-25, the period on which the support price for any commodity would be based is clarified and revised. Support periods less than a year, but pot less than 90 days, will now be allowed, which means that stabilization payments can be paid when producers need them most. Since any plans negotiated under this Act will be actuarially sound, producers will be assured of payments when the formula triggers them.

Mr. Versteeg, professor of law at the University of New. Brunswick and, widely recognized in environmental law, assumed his new duties July 8, 1985.

Crop payments to be doubled The Advance Payments for Crops Program involves money which is loaned interest-free. to producers to permit crops to be stored after harvest for later sale. The funds are dispersed through producer -owned commod- ity organizations under procedures regulated by Agriculture Canada. The amendments, which have been re- quested by the Corn Association since early 1984, will increase the maximum amounts available per producer to $30,000 for an individual and up to $90,000 for a three- member partnership or farm corporation. The amendments also authorized a doubling of the total amount of loan guarantees available for all crop commodities undo% the program, to •$400 million annually. The Corn Association has submitted an application requesting up to $40 millionbe made available for Ontario corn farmers for the 1985 crop. The Ontario Corn Producers' Association is delighted with amendments to the Advance Payments for Crops Act which were passed by the Parliament of Canada on June 26. College buys farm The purchase of a 60 -hectare (a50 acre) farm near Exeter will allow Centralia College of Agricultural Technology to improve its service'to western Ontario, Agriculture and Food Minister Philip Andrewes said today. "The purchase will improve the efficiency of the college's research programs by consolidating white bean, soybean, corn, canola and rutabaga testing in one superior location," said Andrewes. The college has been renting land which is not tile drained, while the Perth and Brookston clay loam soil of the new site is fully tile drained. The farm, located about two miles (three kilometres) north of the college's Huron Park campus, will be used for research, testing and demonstrations. W ork has already started on the layout of research plot ranges for spring canola, while early construction of an implement shed and an agronomy field laboratory is planned.
