grants to reduce to eight per cent
(by a maximum of seven percent-
age points) interest costs up to
$200,000 of long-term debt.
This program recognizes that
the eighties have been difficult
years for all farmers. Even those
who are not in severe financial
difficulties are feeling the after
effects and could benefit from this
program.
Don Pullen, Agricultural Repre-
sentative for Huron County feels it
is necessary to remind producers
that there is a mid-January '86
deadline for entry to OFFIRR.
"We do not want to see those
eligible miss the opportunity to
apply for the program. In fact,
fewer than 200 applications have
been completed by Huron County
farmers to date," he said.
Eligibility criteria include that
the farm family has not more than
75 per cent equity in the operation,
has a net worth of less than
$500,000, a long-term debt (amor-
tized over two years or longer) and
is not a participant in the Beginn-
ing Farmer Assistance Program
(BFAP). The farm family should
also be personally operating the
enterprise and expecting to earn
their living from farming.
For more information and appli-
cation forms, contact the Agricul-
tural Office, Clinton, 482-3428 or
1-800-265-5170. Potential exists
for many more OFFIRR applica-
tions from Huron County Farmers!
