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. Oxford photo.
for a land rental agreement for
seven years. They also questioned
Robert's father's involvement in the
farm. 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

The majority of the trees planted
this April and May were evergreen
seedlings, mostly Spruce, Cedar and
Pine. 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.
