Timbrell prepared to give payments Ontario is prepared to •ntroduce an interim bipartite farm income stabilization plan next Jan. if a national tripartite program is not in place by that time, said Agriculture and Food Minister Dennis Timbrell, Ontario took the lead in proposing a national tripartite farm income stabilization plan for red meat producers two years ago, to even out the level of support payment to red meat producers in different provinces and act as a safety net to producers, The standby bipartite plan would provide a safety net and be designed to easily meld into a national plan once one is in place. Although four provinces -- Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario -- and the federal government have formally agreed .to the tripartite plan for red meat producers, it awaits passage of the enabling federal legislation before it can be imple- mented. "We had hoped. as had Ontario producers that a national plan would have been in (place six months ago," said Mr. 'Timbrell. "But, the necessary federal enabling legislature was not passed. For that reason, Ontario is prepared to act if the national plan cannot be put in place by Jan. 1." "Ontario's first priority remains the national tripartite program. We would introduce our own program only if the national one was delayed beyond the end of the year. Ontario will ensure its program matches the national one so it can be easily rolled into it once tripartite stabilization is available." The national plan was designed as a form of income assurance for producers. Under the plan, the producers, the federal and provincial governments would contribute equally to a fund which would make payments to producers wItion' farm prices drop below certain levels. The proposed bipartite plan would be funded by producers and the province to $4.5 million for 1982 bean crop A $4.5 million stabilization program for the 1982 colored bean crop has been announced by the federal government. Colored beans receiving this assistance include pintos, black turtle, white and red kidney beans, cranberry and great northern. "Abppt 1,200producers, 'mainly in Ontario; Manitoba and Alberta, faced depressed prices for their 1982 crops," said Ralph Ferguson, minister of agriculture. "This was caused by weak export demand and surplus supplied on international markets that drove prices down world- wide." A support price of 5573.44 per tonne was calculated by the department's Agricultural Stabilization Board. This represents 90 per cent of the five-year average market price adjusted for increases in production costs. The average price for colored beans in 1982 was calculated to be S372.56 per tonne. "This means producers are entitled to a deficiency payment of $200,88 per tonne." "Because colored beans are marketed individually by producers, delays occurred in getting the market information needed to determine whether assistance was re- quired." Producers receive grain elevator protection fund The Ontario Government has announced a new insurance plan to protect producers of corn and soyabeans from payment default by dealers. The government has been working with the Ontario Corn Producers Associa• tion, the Ontario Soyabean Board, and the Ontario Feed Grain Dealers' Association to formulate the plan. The plan is in response to a Niagara Grain Dealer which went bankrupt leaving produ- cers without payment for crops delivered to the elevator. The plan calls for producers to pay a 10 cent per tonne checkoff for grain corn with moisture content of 15.5% or less. The fee decreases '/. cent per tonne for each percentage point above the 15.5% The fee will automatically be deducted b) the buyer and forwarded to the Ontario Corn Producers Association. Sales of grain corn from one producer to another producer who is not a grain dealer are exempt, as are sales of sweet corn. popping corn and seed corn. The program will come into effect Oct. 15. As of that date, all dealers are required to be licensed. Producers should only make sales of grain corn and soyabeans to licensed dealers. Dealers will be required to make payment to producers within 10 trading days following the day on which the sale was made. Should a licensed dealer default on payment, an inspector will investigate and the producer will receive payment from the checkoff fund.

The bipartite proposal calls for the plan to be rolled over into the national plan once it is implemented. "Ontario has avoided introducing interim support plans because we are clearly committed to the concept of a national plan that would put producers in different provinces on an equal footing," said Mr. Timbrell. "I feel at this time that we must provide our producers with some type of safety net until the national plan is in place." He said that neither the national or bipartite farm income stabilization plan will affect prices to consumers. "It's a floor under producer incomes to assure that the people who put food on our tables will have food on their tables as well." CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY Please give.
