Ontario producers in the grains and oilseeds sector, hit by low commodity prices, should be given relief through an extraordinary pro- vincial stabilization payment.

"Agriculture' Canada date shows that agriculture, food processing and beverage . industries generated almost $7 billion in value added in 1983. The economic impor- tance of our sector to Ontario cannot be over -emphasized. We believe the sector is a good long term investment. Ontario, with its strong.growth economy and high provincial government -revenues, has the ability to make that investment," said OFA president Brigid Pyke. "This is particularly opportune when you consider that after our Brief to Cabinet last Fall and after in-depth discussions with the oppositon political party caucuses, the pro- vincial legislature unanimously passed a resolution calling on the government of On- tario to increase its overall financial assistance to agriculture producers. The political support is obviously there. But it's time to translate the good intentions into action." Last Forester's euchre on Friday Cranbrook Correspondent MRS.
