Farmers group reject commodity -based mortgage The Ontario Federation of Agriculture's board of directors, in its monthly an for unanimously rejected a federal p commodity price -based mortgages. "Michael Wilson's budget speech an- nouncement led farmers and consumers to believe that farmers now have access to 6 per cent money. This was out of outthmis d ra- sentation on the part tells the real government. The fine print story," said Harry Pelissero, OFA president. The House was not told - as budget papers released later revealed - that farmers would have to actually take on a mortgage at 14 and three-eighths percent (2 per cent higher than the current rate for FCC loans). "Rather than giving interest rate assistance 10 farmers,ers this program actually chargesaper t penalty to enroll in it," commented Pelissero. While the mortgage is registered at 14 and three-eighths per cent, a "side agreement" will allow FCC to fix the interest rate at 6-9 per cent, tying the principal due to commodity price fluctuations. Government budget papers stated that program, ties.given a moderate the programpwould no be any ase in more or odi- with ae ffordable et, as pinterest ratemised in s." past years, less expensive than conventional financing. Pelissero said he interprets this to mean that the program would not cost the government any money. "In fact, with the ,2 per cent surcharge, it could actually make money for the government." passed a "ma d The OFA board d thatthefederal resolution to minister of Agriculture and the FCC develop a program which truly reflects a legitimate loan program and restructured mortgage Ing the $700 million outlined in Egg producers have successful. year Egg producers attending the 21st Annual Meeting of the Ontario Egg Producers' Marketing Board were told 1985 was a sound and stable year as far as financial, produc- tion, and marketing situations were concern- ed. Nevertheless, said Board Chairman Jim Johnstone, 1,985 was a year of significant achievement for the Ontario Egg Board. "The past year has been most satisfying for me as your chairman," he said. "There wort ati es,e no a onlyyr controversies. minor amendments policy several existing policies....The move to our new office went off without a Producers' ccontract for the 'Ontario Egg elph was signed. All in alt, a year of many Chair' at the University of ccomplish- ments." The Chair established at the University of Guelph will investigate new uses for eggs with the aim of improving markets and so enabling producers to increase their produc- tion. The research Chair is the first at the University, .and represents the only such work of its scope being conducted anywhere in the world. The past year also saw the Board move into its first board -owned office building, in Mississauga. It had been renting office space in W illowdale, B Ontario and General Manager Brian Egg E Ellsworth said 1985 brought few fhiancial, market, or production changes for producers. While producer prices declined six cents over the year, he said, they followed declining feed costs and so continued to provide producers with adequate returns. The board sets minimum producer prices using a cost of production formula which Glad to be Canadian includes such input costs as feed, pullets, and labour, Mr. Ellsworth said productivity -- the number of eggs laid by a hen in a year -- had increased by about one per cent in 1985. And although table consumption of eggs (those bought by consumers) was about even with last year's, an increase in usage by the processing market meant producers were able to maintain their quota allotments. The Ontario Egg Board sets production quotas in order to ensure adequate supplies of eggs are produced for consumers. Quotas are based on hens, meaning each producer is allotted a certain maximum number of hens he may have !n production at one time. These quota allotments are based on each pro- ducer's historical capacity.
