Farmers' bad luck blamed
on .weather; crisis developing
There will be few farm
dollars for machinery, fertilizer,
fun, or travel in Eastern Ontario
this fall. Retailers will soon feel
the results of the farm crisis.
d ` Dairymen look over miles of
▪ rotted hay and field after field
of drowned yellow corn.
June -July rainfall was double
last year's. Cornwall area
received 10,74 inches this spring;
5.18 inches - last. Fields have
become shallow lakes studded
pi..a...tratto-rs ....-.and--
balers. The stricken • area is
eastern, Grenville, - Dundas,
Stormont, Glengarry, Prescott,
, Russell, and southeast Carleton
Bounties.
Because farmers have not
harvested the rotting hay, there
is a shortage of cattle feed.
Distressed sales of livestock are
already reported: More are
feared.
Milk production is down 20 to
50 percent. Grass has -lost its
'nutrient value.-Wet;pastures are
making cows' feet sore, soft, and
crack with foot rot. In some
areas, milk quality as well as
quantity has declined.
27,3,
'Crop . experts estimate rains
killed ' 75% of the corn and
spring grains crop. Hay, the
'area's main dairy cattle feed, is
hardest hit. Only 10 to 15
percent has been harvested to
date. Total losses may exceed 8
million dollars.
Farmers may ward off
complete disaster if fields dry
sufficiently so hay can be
brought in and grain corn can.
be harvested as silage.

repayment schedules will likely
lose everything," says Gordon
Hill, President, Ontario
Federation of Agriculture. Low
net income 'in recent years has
prevented 'farmers from building
up reserves to carry. -through
'disasters such as this,
A mpronged program 'is
necessary Arhich includes a cash
payment to share the loss,
possibly through'crop insurance,
P transportation assistance for
feed, cledrta, extenston .7m rrty ed-:,. r
•drainage outlets, and better crop
insurance.
Hill and OEA.. executive '
director Delmer Bennett joined .
members of a local Task Force
to - assess the damage. The Task
,Force was formed at a Dundas
county Federation of
Agriculture meeting of, more
than 1,000 alarmed farmers.
Good ., management was no
salvation, according to Hill.
"The rains have ruined crops
on well -drained land as well as
on poorly drained land. And the
, few who bought crop insurance
will recoup only a fraction of
their losses," he said.
