Provincial budget a disappointment to farmers
The provincial budget is essentially a
"stand -pat budget" and that will disappint
Ontario's farmers, said Brigid Pyke, Presi-
dent and the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture.
The budget's silence on the OFFIRR and
Crop Insurance programs is ominous. "We
hope this doesn't indicate a weakening of
government support for farmers facing dif-
ficult markets" said Ms. Pyke.
Commenting on OFFIRR Ms. Pyke noted,
"the debt load of Ontario farmers has not
fallen significantly since OFFIRR was in-
troduced. The real cost of carrying debt has
remained high. We're disappointed the
government didn't reaFF4.rn their "nmmit-
ment to a program that put much needed
cash in the hands of farmers". On the crop
insurance program she pointed out "basic
changes are unfunded after two years of
study anc4liscussion".
"The OFA is encouraged by the new
money announced by the treasurer: $15
million over 3 years for new tripartite pro-
grams; $6 million for Farmstart and $1.2
million for a Pesticide Reduction Program.
However, we suspect the government may
discover they have under budgeted for these
initiatives considering the need for them in
the countryside" she said.
Ms. Pyke acknowledged the government
spending for agriculture has Increased
substantially under the present govern-
ment, but emphasized that Ontario is still a
long way behind other major agricultural
provinces- as far as government funding is
concerned.
In the beef industry, for example, Ontario
farmers get a little over $6 in government
support for every $100 of cash receipts.
Compare that with Quebec where beef pro-
ducers get over $45. "Government commit-
ment to the industry is essential to main-
taining market share; we'll be working with
government to ensure that commitment is
backed up with dollars" she said in closing.
