Details of RMP at meeting SEAFORTH - Approximately 300 local farmers attended a meeting Aug. 7 at the Seaforth Community Centre, listening to details about the proposed Risk Management Program (RMP) presented by the farm leaders who have proposed the program. The meeting was one of three across the province, with other ses- sions in Finch and Chatham. Chairman of the Ontario Grains and Oilseeds Leo Guilbeault and staff member Peter Tuinema presented the details of the program as it has been proposed by a joint committee involving members of Ontario Grains and Oilseeds, Ontario Federation of Agriculture, and Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs. The RMP is a price insurance pro- gram designed by and for Ontario grain and oilseed farmers nearly three years ago. After many months of hard work by farmers across the province, a proposal for a three-year pilot program of RMP has been pre- sented to the provincial government for approval. "One challenge is that RMP will begin for the 2007 crop year, but most of us are still reeling from the effects foreign subsidies had on our prices in 2005 and 2006," says Guilbeault. The program is designed for a three-way partnership. Farmers would pay premiums, and it would also require federal and provincial dollars on the traditional 60/40 fund- ing formula to be effective. "We need to say thank you to the province for coming to the table with their share, and we need to remem- ber this is only 40 per cent of the program until we can convince the federal govern- ment to come on board," says Tuinema, adding "Our first priority is in getting RMP passed through the McGuinty government before cam- paigning begins for the fall elec- tion. Our sec- ond priority is to step up our lobby with the federal govern- ment to achieve companion pro- gram funding with regional flexibility."
