Face lowljtkes The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) called recently for a federal and provincial' interest rate assistance program for Adario's financially presied farmers. Beef and hog producers are hardest hit. They face low commodity prices on top of increased costs and high interest rates. Farm bankruptcies in Ontario for the.first quarteref 1 1 *ow a77 percent hicrease over the same period last year. The 100 farmers at the OFA's Board of Directors' meeting in Toronto set a short-term rescue program as their highest priority. It would include an in- dependent agency to review foreclosures and forced liquidations, as well as government assistance to provide low cod refinancing and forgiveness of some debt for those most in need. The OFA also wants a long-term program • in- cluding re -introducing the provincial Junior Farmer Establishment Loan, and more money for the federal Farm Credit Corporation, as well as a review of its len- ding criteria. The OFA also wants to reduce interest rates by making interest on money loaned to farmers tax exempt, and wants the Small Business Development Bond program broadened so more farmers can use it.
