One of the scarcest commodities
in rural Ontario today is time and
it's already run out for too many of
the province's farmers, said Harry
Pelissero, present of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture.
Mr. Pelissero was among 75
farm leaders from across the
country who were in Ottawa last
week to urge the federal govern-
ment to take action to ease the farm
crisis in Canada.
"We are looking for a commit-
ment from the government to deal
with the major issues facing
agriculture today. So far, we have
not been satisfied with their
efforts, especially in the area of
farm credit."

30 to 40 - lb. pigs traded to a
sure and the lending institution,
suggested Mr. Pelissero.
He also called upon the govern-
ment to lower farm credit rates and
return the Farm Credit Corpora-

ers.
The Canadian Federation of
Agriculture (CFA) organizer of the
lobbying effort, warned _Prime
Minister Brian Mulroney and his
government that Canada's $40
billion food industry is in serious
trouble.
Farmers are suffering from high
interest rates and low prices, said
CFA president Don Knoerr. The
escalating trade war between the
United States and the European
Community is robbing Canadian
farmers of traditional markets, he
added.

Sale on Tues., Nov. 26 at 1:30.
Several consignments are now
booked. To consign cattle for this
sale, phone 887-6461 or Corbett

Farmers also want assurances
that vital agricultural programs,
such as supply management mark-
eting boards, the Canadian Wheat
Board, and seasonal horticultural
tariffs won't be bargained away
when Canada sits down to negoti-
ate a free trade deal with the U.S.
Emergency relief policies to
cope with farm disasters, such as
the drought that struck prairie
grain and livestock producers this
summer are urgently required, the
CFA told the government.
