SOY PARASITE
IDENTIFIED HERE
Researchers recently identified soy-
bean cyst nematodes in Ontario for the
first time. The soybean nematode is a
small parasitic worm first seen in the
southern U.S. in 1954. It has since
spread up the Mississippi Valley to
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ontario.
The nematodes were identified in
two isolated cases in Southern Ontario.
There is potential for yield loss to nema-
todes, although losses can be made in-
significant through good crop rotation.
Ontario soybean breeders are now
working on nematode resistance.0
C -B LOANS
SEEM POPULAR
Although greeted with reservations,
commodity -based loans from the Farm
Credit Corporation have earned clients.
About a third of the loans made by
the FCC in the year ended March 31 and
since have been commodity -based.
Farmers who are FCC borrowers are
eligible if they have Tess than 40 percent
equity and "reasonable long-term pros-
pects." The loans are then fully indexed
to commodity prices and carry a six per
cent interest rate. The loans convert to
conventional loans after 10 years.
FCC borrowers with less than 55 per
cent equity can get partially indexed
loans with interest between six per cent
and the current FCC lending rate. The
government guarantees that the cost of
the loan won't be higher than a loan
taken out at a rate two per cent higher
than the prevailing FCC rate.0
