The Rural Voice, 1986-10, Page 59ADVICE the $200,000 deferral, there may be a need for urgency to realize the $500,000 exemption. There is some concern that if the Conservatives lose the next election, a new government might eliminate the capital gains exemption. Apart from the potential S700,000 (or $1.4 million) exemp- tion, there's another tax deferral available. if a farmer does not realize all the proceeds from a sale at once, he may claim a reserve that can spread capital gains over five years. But if the farm is sold to a child, the gain can be averaged over 10 years. Dollar Sense offers general financial advice by members of The Institute of Chartered Ac- countants of Ontario.

RIGHT TO FARM REPORT AVAILABLE The Right -to -Farm Advisory Committee report calls for legisla- tion to protect farmers from nuisance actions by neighbouring property owners. The legislation would protect farmers from nuisance actions under common law provided they were using normal farming prac- tices. It would require permit criteria for future farm -related severance and for the construction of residences and livestock facilities in agricultural areas. Minimum separation distances would be used as one of the criteria for a permit. Copies of the committee report, published in July, are being sent to farm organizations and municipalities. Copies are also available at OMAF offices or from Susan Ksiezpololski, Foodland Preservation Branch, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Queen's Park, Toronto, M7A 2B2, 416- 965-9433.
