for leaders for this program.

in helping young people

1980 Ontario farm tax
reduction program
Some farmers in Oxford
will receive application
forms and information
pamphlets in the mail before
the end ,of November.
Hopefully all farm property
owners will receive ap-
plication forms before 1980
passes.
There are a few changes
worth noting in the 1980
program. Any farm property
qualifies if it is part of a
farming operation that
produces at least $4,000
value of farm products in a
year. The minimum amount
of municipal taxes on which
a rebate will be paid. has
been increased from $20 to
$50.
Residences are eligible if
occupied by actual farmers,
retired farmers, or family
members of eligible far-
mers. Rebates on, property
benefiting from the Ontario
Pensioners Property Tax
Assistance Act, will be
calculated on net taxes after
deducting the pensioners tax
assistance.
Interest charged on
repayments due to
development of farm
properties has been in-
creased from 8 percent to 10
percent.
Swine symposium '80
Swine Symposium '80 is a
day designed and developed
by area pork producers to
bring together some of this
continent's top 'Speakers in
the areas of reproductive
efficiency, nutrition and

Two simultaneous sessions

The Ministers breakfast at
the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture Convention
began with a full slate of
ministers, they being Rene
Brunelle-Resource Policy,
Bob Elgie-Labour, Harry,
Parrott-Environment, Lorne
Henderson-Agriculture,
George Ash-Energy, Frank.
Miller- Treasury, Tom
Wells-Intergovernmental
Affairs.
The first question to Mr.
Miller was concerning sales
tax exempt building
materials. Many building
outlets are not aware which
building materials are tax
exempt and which aren't.
The Federation delegates
were assured these material•
outlets would be educated.
Due to the announcement
of Parr'ott's office on Wed-
nesday, concerning the
liquid waste disposal plant at
South Cayuga, many
delegates questioned
Parrott's decision on the
site.
The people of the area
want an environmental

to 2,779 the previous year.
hearing and Mr. Henderson
assured the delegates that
the soils were checked and
found to be right for this type
of dump site. He also said
certain crops to be consumed
directly by people would not
be grown in that area.
Mr, Parrott stated the
dumping of untreated waste
on our land must be stopped.
He also said the people of
Ontario want the Govern-
ment to own the Liquid
Waste Disposal plant and it
would therefore be a Crown
Corporation, It would be set
up with seven people in
charge.
One of these people would
be an OFA member and be a
representative of the South
Cayuga area. This facility is
to have the best of
everything and the cost of
this entire unit is to be borne
by the industrial sector
generating this waste.
Mr. Parrot closed his
remarks by saying there
will- be no more land filling
with liquid industrial waste
in Ontario and that at
present ther,e is too much
illegal dumping at too many
unsuitable sites. He then left
to hold a private meeting
with concerned members of
the Federation.
Middlesex County brought
the question of unfair hydro
rates to the floor, They felt
the present reduction
scheme was not enough. It
only amounts to a 3 percent
reduction in a rural hydro
bill. The Minister- replied
that he is aware this small

reduction is not enough and
more will be forfthcoming.
, Mr. Henderson was asked
to reply to the OFA, paper on
Food Strategy, He stated he
supported an import
replacement program which
is already in effect, He will
continue to promote the use
of Ontario food products first
here in Ontario as well as
increasing our exports to
other countries. •

200,000 bags being offered at
$30-$31 and then jumped to
$33-$34 and have stayed
there.
The board lost one ex-
pected sale to New Zealand,
Broadwell added, "We lost
that one to Michigan, but,
picked up another sale in
Ireland the next day. We
have to take our sales as they
come."
Gordon Hill added, "We
want to service as many
markets as we can. A fan-
tastic volume of canned
beans as a no-name brand
has gone into Sweden.
Former board director
Phil Durand of Zurich
agreed with the sales to the
communist countries saying,
"We should not be concerned
about selling to these
countries if we believe in
free enterprise."
John Hazlitt who was the
chairman for the meeting
said more beans were sold at
the Royal Winter Fair than
at the CNE. He added, "They
went bananas over beans."

On the subject of corn,
rootworm, a report from
Andy Megens of Canadian
Canners in Exeter indicated
there was no significant in-
crease in the number of
adult corn borer moths dur-
ing 1980.
Other speakers said ex-
cessive corn stalk breakage
this year could not be blam-
ed on the rootworm.
Jim O'Toole of Centralia
College reported on proso
millet, a weed which has
been spreading rapidly in
Huron during the last two
years,
O'Toole said proso millet
is .a very competitive tall
grass and no chemical con-
trol has yet been registered.
He indicated two other
weeds are becoming more
prevalent in Huron. They are
poison hemlock which
appears in alfalfa seeded in
1979 and Indian hemp which
looks like milkweed.
District director
Lawrence Taylor reported,
that the Ontario Association
has circulated about 60
resolutions, during 198Q.
They were centered on
municipal drains, research,
insect monitoring, gasohol
and crop insurance.
Considerable discussion
took place Thursday on foun-
dation seed and problems in-
curred in germination being
below the prescribed limit.
Near the end .of the
meeting, a resolution was
passed asking the Plant
Products branch to control
seed companies in
guaranteeing seed quality
and amend crop insurance
regulations to cover grower
loss because of poor seed.
Soils specialist Pat Lynch
said the seed companies and
not the government put tags
on bags,
A second resolution asked
for greater funding for ex-
tension services in the On-
tario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food budget.
