Views sought
on family
farm issues
After consultations with the farm commun-
ity, Agriculture Minister John Wise released
a document seeking the views of farm
families on the social and economic issues
affecting the future of the family farm.
In releasing the document -- called Agenda
for Discussion -- M r. W ise said more than 300
farm families, farm organizations and others
were approached for their views during the
past year. The process ensures the agenda
reflects the real concerns and priorities of
the farming community.
The agenda marks phase one of Family
Farm Forum, an initiative outlined June 4,
1986.
"While the discussions we had with the
farm community took time, the result is a
document that will survey the broad range of
issues farmers themselves have identified,"
the Minister said.
Family Farm Forum grew out of discus-
sions Mr. Wise had a year ago at the second
National Farm Women's Conference in
Charlottetown. Delegates stressed the need
for more effective partnerships between
government and the farming community.

We hope you have
a heavenly Christmas.
A sincere thank
you to all our
wonderful friends
and customers.
"From our discussions so far. general
agreement has been reached that Family
Farm Forum has to•take into consideration
the financial crisis facing many farm families
today. Farm women's organizations.told us
that rising debt, interest' rates and fluctua-
tions in commodity prices are central 'social'
issues."
Mr. Wise said there is also a growing
awareness in the farm community of
"human" issues -- child care, family law,
stress, workload and isolation -- affecting
family farm life.
"The whole purpose behind Family Farm
Forum is to begin developing long-term
strategies to ensure the continued viability of
the family farm and the quality of family life
while responding to changes taking place in
agriculture."
Agriculture Canada is distributing the
"Agenda for Discussion" to thousands of
farm families across Canada. Fano organiza-
tions will distribute the agenda to their
members later this fall.
A summary of the responses received will
be compiled into the Family Farm Forum
Report which will be distributed to all
participants.
This report could form the basis of ongoing
discussions with other governments, farm
organizations and farm families to address
the main concerns identified through this
grassroots consultations.
