In Farm :Planning,
In presenting its annual brief
tos.the Government of Ontario,
the Ontario Federation of Ag-
riculture deplored e fact there
was no evidence of a long-term
policy for agriculture in the
Province of Ontario and -de -
maned that a long-term policy
be Stablished • without delay.
The brief stre'Ssed that a pro-
gram .must be developed to
meet the needs of rural people
and that people are the most
valuable of all our resources.
Noting the rapid transition
in farming from a way of life
to a business, the }brief stated
that progressive farmers must
be both allowed and encourag-
ed to expand their operations
into sound and viable economic
units and that a retraining pro-
gram must be initiated at once
for those who find it .necessary
to give .up farming,
The OFA pointed out that
both the Minister and the De-.
puty Minister of Agriculture
had admitted that many. farm-
ers -were in an "untenable posi-
tion" and . a solution would
have to be found by working
in conjunction with farm or-
ganizations.
The brief noted that •the
Deputy Minister had stated that,
quote: "We 'must raise our
sights to the over-all pattern
of agriculture in this province
and the rest of Canada . and
seek to develop, through bur
farm "organizations, in co-opera-
tion with governments, a long-.
terns plan and a long-term pol-
icy to ensure, first of all,. that.
agriculture and farmers gener-
ally are . assured in adequate
income, not only based upon
fair interest' for their large
capital investment, but an in-
come .which would be more on
a par with other segments of
our society."
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture demanded to know
why it had not been' consulted.
The OFA' brief stressed the
fact that technological changes
would continue and hence there
was great urgency for the estab-
lishment of a long-term policy
for agriculture. Unless this was
done, the current . farm .sit-ua-
tion was bound to become even
more critical and more unten-
abX,e....as... time went on.
Noting the sympathetic .atti-
tude of the Department of A4-
riculture, the Ontario Federa-
tion of Agriculture placed be
blame squarely on government
and its apparent lack of inter
est or concern for rural people.
For example, the brief asked if
it were possible the Commun-
ity' Planning. Branch of the De-
partment of Municipal Affairs
was not inclined to regardour
farms as vacant land lying be-
tween two cities and if there
was not a tendency for the
Municipal Affairs Branch to
grant authority to permit, tax=
ing farmers into submission.'
It asked if it were possible
the Department of Highways
considered ten acres of land
as just ten acres and disregard-
ed the fact the loss of such
land might destroy . a farm as
an economic unit of production.
It asked whether it was pos-
sible the Department of Health
and Welfare considered it safer
to keep people on welfare than
retrain them to become useful,
free -thinking citizens. e
Every department of govern-
ment came in for its fair share
of criticism.
The OFA presented a hard-
hitting brief designed to . draw
to the attention of the whole
government the seriousness of
the present agricultural situa-
tion.
