Minister Outlines Farm Platform Continued from Page One. tee a profit from which farmers can repay their loans. --Crop insurance for every farmer across Canada within 18 months. In co-operation with the provinces new legislation will increase the level of cov- erage available and the per- centage of the federal contri- bution, to make it possible for eastern farmers to obtain eco- nomical crop insurance. The federal government would pay for 50 percent of the adminis- tration cost of the program. —A plan for disaster cover- age which will provide loans to farmers whose crops are wiped out, loans to be made on a long term basis at low interest rates, so that farmers can re- establish. Payments would not begin until the farm was again producing. — Insurance programs would be independent of politics, and would not depend on the whim of the government in power. — The formation of a dairy commission to increase the price of whole milk for manu- facture from its present $3.50 per hundred price to $3.75 or $4.00, provided the provinces co-operate. The minister claimed 17, 000 dairy farms are going out of production every year because the owners are not able to make enough money. —The introduction of mar- keting legislation similar to that which would establish a dairy commission, for other products that need assistance. A livestock board to look after feed grain storage. —The minister said that if and when it is necessary, legis- lation will be established to en- sure that feed grains are avail- able in public storage in East- ern Canada and B.C. at the place and in the quantities needed. Freight rates will be assisted when necessary, and the government will act as a buying and selling agent in the eastern provinces and B.C. for feed grains. --A marketing service will be established in each area across Canada to assist farmers in making wise decisions and to assist in farm management. --The government will start a program to purchase poor farms in areas of marginal land and then bring them into eco- nomical units which will be improved as to buildings, fenc- ing etc., and then sold back to farmers. There will be a 30 - year term for repayment of the purchase price. —Under ARDA an additional $50,000,000 fund will be creat- ed for rural economic develop- ment. The emphasis on the ARDA program is being shifted so it is not directed so heavily towards resources but more stress on improving welfare of the people dependent on rural resources.
