Robert A. Humphries, P.Ag
Agricultural Representative
for Huron County
On April 15, the Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs reported that 48,000 farm
business registrations had arrived in
Toronto. These registrations were
in response to the passing of Bill 42
- an Act to provide for farm
registration and funding for farm
organizations which offer educa
tion and analysis of farming issues
on behalf of farmers. It was known
in the rural areas as the "Stable
Funding Act".
At the time of registration the
farm business was asked to send a
$150 cheque made payable to
either the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) or the Christian
Farmers' Federation of Ontario
(CFFO). This fee was refundable
upon written request.
The OF A reports a 12 per cent
refund rate, the CFFO reports a
refund rate of over 30 per cent.
Actual numbers will not be known
until after June 14 when the final
90-day refund period expires.
Several thousand farmers mailed
their registration forms without a
cheque. Some assumed that OFA's
automatic bank withdrawals would
continue but these withdrawals
were stopped in January.
Letters are being sent from
OMAFRA Toronto requesting for a
second time the $150 registration

The 1994 Farm Tax Rebate
Program will require valid
registration numbers. Farmers who
have received a refund are still
eligible for a rebate cheque. Land
owners who rent their farmland
must include the name, signature
and registration number of the
tenant farmer.
Farmers who have gross farm
sales of $7,000 and more per year
and have not registered, must do so
before they receive a 1994 Farm
Tax Rebate cheque.
Call the Clinton Field Office at
482-3428 or 1-800-265-5170 for
details.
Registration forms can only be
obtained from the Ministry in
Toronto at (416) 326-9900.
