Dam m Farm Start • ttt' page I capon to Europe. MC Honeys agcoded a public: nieetmg about Farm Start when the program was founded and applied. After a one year waiting period with no c,ta- resptJndencC from the program they were told they were rejected. "They said they had tune points of concern about us" said Cheryl. "One was about a building worth $6.500 on our property, and we have no such building. They claimed 1 was m a partnership with my father-in-law, and none if a is true. "The rules and regulations kept changing and we asked for a copy of them," said Cliff. "They told us we couldn't have a copy. 1 went through the appeal process and wasn't told why 1 was rejected by them either. Now it's with the ombudsman to find out why I've been rejected." Another problem with Farm Start the Holleys had is that the program doesn't recognize actual price paid by the Holleys for equipment, but assigns a market value price. Daivd Pullen added, 'The only good way to farm is to make deals and Farm Start doesn't recognize that. All farmers share with their family, friends and neighbours." Another couple at the meeting, Robert and Nancy Snell, Londes- boro, told why they felt Farm Start wasn't helping them get started with their sheep and crop farm. When the program started the Snells were approved for an es- tablishment period with grant poten- tial in 1989. The Snells are farming on 100 acres owned by Robert's father, who hasn't farmed for 13 years. Instead of sending grant money to the Snells, Farm Stan sent a request WORKING TOGETHER FOR YOU - Farmers at a press conference joke during a lighter moment of the conference. The meeting was held to allow them to air their disappointment with the Ontario Farm Start program. From left. Cliff and Cheryl Holley and David Pullen.

The Snells had a land rental agreement drawn up, which , was foreign to Robert's father. "The agreement isn't what we want," said Robert. "We would like to buy the land." After complying with the new rules the Snells waited for their grant. As they were both working off the farm they hired people to work on the farm for a while, and when Farm Start learned that they asked the Snells for a seven year custom work agreement. "We've done everything they've asked," said Nancy. "We're keeping up with the rule changes." The farmers at the meeting wondered if Farm Stan ad- ministration people in Toronto had ever been to a farm. They also wondered how much of the $90 million allocated to Farm Start is put toward administration. David Pullen has written to Bridgid Pyke, president of the On- tario Federation of Agriculturists (OFA) outlining his problems with the Farm Stan program and its double administration system. In his letter he states his belief that some "of the Farm Stan program management have very little prac- tical, working knowledge of agricul- ture." He concludes that, "A thorough external investigation (by the OFA) of the activities of the Ontario Farm Stan program ad- ministration is long overdue." Bridging the gaps between neighbours • THE STEEL LEGEND IS DOWN, and the new $500,000 bridge at Lot 20-21, Concession 4 in Tuckersmith Township is just a jumble of wood and iron rods for now. The 83 -year-old steel bridge, oldest in the area, was lifted from the moorings last month and the water has been diverted for the repairs. MANY MONTHS after the early January inspection, the bridge on Lot 22, Concession 6-7 McKillop is well on the way to completion. McKillop Council approved $72,000 worth of repairs to the ailing bridge early this year. Ausable-Bayfield gives root to 450,000 trees The Ausable Bayfield Conser- vation Authority announces its most ambitious spring tree planting ef- fort. Working in co-operation with the Ministry of Natural Resources, watershed schools, Scouts and Guide Troops, Huron County W.O.T.C.H., a local contractor, Ontario Hydro and the Duracell Corporation, some 450,000 trees were purchased from provincial and private nurseries and planted on private, municipal and Conservation Authority lands. The extensive planting efforts were part of the water resonrrec One Will Get You 2OO$ Buy any new single -cylinder Ski -Doo snowmobile between June 1st and September 15th and receive S200 in free clothing. parts and accessories.t management mandate, and took on the form of windbreaks and plan- tations.

Some two metre hardwoods were also planted, primarily Maple, Ash and Walnut. Another large tree planting initiative that the ABCA was in- volved in was the planting of 12,000 tree saplings by local school groups in Huron and Perth counties to commemorate Earth Day '90. ABCA co-operated with CKNX Wingham to provide a tree to each student. The program was highly successful in terms of its educational value. Each year, the Authority under- takes an extensive tree planting effort, and to date this past spring's planting has been the most notewor- thy. This success is a result of the combination of the quantity planted along with favourable weather conditions. The past three years have been very dry over the sum- mer months, leaving many of the trees unable to sustain themselves. For those interested in next spring's tree planting programm contact John Schwindt or Bob Mur- ray at the ABCA office - 235-2610. There will also be trees available for fall planting but the planting will largely consist of two metre hardwoods for roadside planting.
