HIGHLIGHTS
OFA Board of Director's Meeting
June 18, 1980
BY GERRY FORTUNE
THREE HURON COUNTY RESOLUTIONS RECEIVE SUPPORT
Phenol", Herbicides
t'henoxy herbicides should continue to be made available (i.e.
2-4-D), and those requesting a ban should be ignored, since
there is no scientific evidence of harm to humans, said the first
resolution.
Interest Rates
OFA will ask for the Federal Minister of Agriculture's support
for a request to the Minister of Finance regarding the amount
above prime being charged to farmers on loans.
While it has been customary for good farm customers to be
charged prime plus 1%, it now appears banks are trying to
charge prime Plus 2%,
Farmers should note the bank directors' names listed in the
May Members's Digest. If you are having troubles concerning
loans with your local bank manager, a call to one of the people
listed may prove helpful.
Draining Land and Fish Habitats
OFA will request the proper authorities to ensure that where
farmers are prevented from draining land or put to increased
costs to provide fish habitat, or wet lands, or provide lands for
public benefit, they are suitably reimbursed by exemption from
property tax, or government sharing project costs, or a
combination of both.
Toxic Substances and Antidotes
Farmers should keep in mind that a toll-free telephone service
to Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto and a hospital in Ottawa
are available for help and information concerning toxic
substances and antidotes.
