' . 41, ikt New federal -provincial rural development agreement signe A new agreement has been signed by the Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food, and the Hon. Donald Jamieson, Federal Minister of Regional Economic Expansion, which provides for a two-year rural development agreement under the Agricultural and Rural Development Act (ARDA) . The new agreement is similar' to a five-year pact which ended this March - with the exception that it is designed as a transitional program- to provide continuity for existing projects. It will allow „con- tinuing consultation between federal -provincial departments about future rural development activities. The Federal Government will provide up to 50 percent of the qpst of the projects under the agreement. The new federal - provinc'i'al agreement will cover farmo consolidation and enlargement, the development of rural land and water resources, creation and ex- pansion • of community pastures, the establishment and expansion • of rural resource-based industries, employment opportunities for rural people, and a con- tinuation of rural -development field counseling. Since 1966, abo' t 2700 Ontario farmers have ben • itted from the gfarm en •. ;em.ent program. Under the to of the agreement, farmers leasing ARDA farms have the option, at the end of the five-year period, ttrpdrehase the, farm or lease it for an additional five years. This program enables the farmer to' expand without tying up capital that may be -need for other facets of his farm operation - Provision . is made in the agreement' for the establish- ment and expansion of com- munity pastures. ARDA pur- chases the land and develops the property by reseeding, fencing and improving the water supply. A pasture manager is appointed Dy the local pasture board, who supervises • the livestock ' and range manag€rnent-program. The agreementenables livestock farmers to obtain high pasture at a reasonable rate. These community, pastures also provide excellent demonstration of grassland management. The new agreement will continue to provide help in creating or enlarging resource• based industries in , selected rural areas. In many cases, it ' provides encouragement for an industry to expand; in others it provides help for an industry to tahlish itself in a community. Part of the program is the creation of employment op- "portunities and, market outlets for rizal. production. In ad- dition, ,ARDA encourages and has provided financial assistance to,native people for tho,d�wnlor) r4e hrr.;octs to GODERICH, SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, AUGUSTA 197 !+ 9 provide income and em- ployment far them; in these cases Canada provides special cost-sharing arrangements.
