with incredible costs,
Then there's the OPAAP program, the
Farm Adjustment Assistance Program for
farmers threatened with bankruptcy, It has
proven to be more headlines than substance.
It first promised $60 million, later raif,ed to
$80 million. Hut only $26 million has been
paid out in two years, and fewer than 4,000
farmers have been helped,
There's desperate shortage of long term
credit, Neither the banks nor the Farm
Credit Corporation has been willing or able
to meet the industry's needs, Virtually all
other provinces have stepped in to supple-
ment available funds, But not so in Ontario,
1t has not provided a single dollar in long
term credit,
Farmers have been plagued with a boom
and bust cycle in commodity prices. Today,
for example, livestock prodifbers are taking a
loss on every animal they market, We've had
studies and mountains of talk about
stabi lzaticm programs, Just last week we
were told that four of the provinces and the
federal government have iinaliy come up
with something. How satisfactory it will be,
time alone will tell,
And to add insult to injury, the restraint
program is now cutting back on the budgets
for the Ministry's county offices, That
restricts the work of the ag reps who are a
vital link between all these programs and the
farmers on the land,
It becomes clear that the role of the
Asphalt Twins, that top level agricultural
team with all the clout around Queen's Park,
is not to fight for a fairer share of the budget
for agriculture, They know of -- indeed, they
may well agree with -- government's
unwillingness to give farmers a fairer share.
Their role is to keep the farmers as happy as
possible while being short changed, 'Thus,
the major emphasis is on public rleations, all
designed to make a poor package look
acceptable,
But the most sophisticated public relations
package in the world is not enough for the
farm community to thrive on, For some, sad
to relate, it is not even enough to survive on,
