The Brussels U13 Girls team was in action on Thursday night at the village's soccer fields
behind the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre. The girls took on their counterparts
from Clinton and fell to the visitors by a score of 4-1. Just two games into the season, the girls
have experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat with a 1-1-0 record at the start
of the week. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
OFA supports plan revisions
There's still work to do on
Canada's next agricultural policy
framework, and Minister Leal
raised important concerns within the
business risk management portion of
the program in the May 10 Federal -
Provincial -Territorial meeting of
agricultural ministers.
"Minister Leal stood up for
fanners across Canada when he
proposed the necessary review of
business risk management
programs," says Keith Currie,
President of the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture (OFA). "Risk
management is an integral part of
running a sustainable farm business.
We need a new program design to
address shortcomings in the current
suite of programs."
The next agricultural policy
framework is scheduled to be
presented in July at the next meeting
of the Federal -Provincial -Territorial
agricultural ministers. Agricultural
groups across Canada, including the
OFA, have been requesting a review
and revision of the business risk
management programs before the
final program is presented. The next
agricultural policy framework will
contain initiatives including business
risk management programs,
innovation and research, market
development, environmental
sustainability and climate change.
National farm organizations are
solidly behind Minister Leal's
proposal to delay the inclusion of
new business risk management
programs in the next agricultural
policy framework until sufficient

changes are made to meet the needs
of farmers and ranchers across
Canada.
"We need to review and reform
what we already have before we can
move forward with any new risk
management programs," says
Currie.
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) is the largest
general farm organization in
Ontario, representing 36,000 farm
families across the province. As a
dynamic farmer -led organization
based in Guelph, the OFA works to
represent and champion the interests
of Ontario farmers.
