Finlay Agricultural Representative EASTERN BREEDERS PROMOTES YOUNG SIRES Eastern Breeders Incorporated is encouraging dairy breeders to use test bulls in their breeding program. Paul Greaves, Director of Sire Information and Marketing, states that for top genetic and monetary gains, every breeder can safely breed one cow or heifer out of every four to a high indexing young sire. In the Durham County area, young sire usage, as a per cent of total 1st service in 1984, has only been 13.6. TAX MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS Farmers will be pleased to hear that the Federal Government will rebate the federal tax on gasoline and diesel fuel of three cents per litre starting December 1st. The increase in the price of gasoline will also be rebated to farmers. As farmers enter the last six weeks of the calendar year, those on cash basis accounting should be considering their tax position. If 1984 : has been a high income year, you might consider: - Purchasing a R.R.S.P. - Paying wages to family members who have worked in the farm business and normally would be paid for work done, if they were not family members. - Purchase inputs in advance such as: chemicals, fertilizer, seed and feed supplies. - Buy additional livestock if facilities permit. - Purchase of new equipment to take advantage of investment tax credit and capital cost allowance. - Delay marketings or sale of stored crop until after December 31st. - Pay accounts for taxes, insurance and utilities before year end and also pay accounts payable for farm inputs. Farmers, who expect to be in a taxable loss position should consider using Section 28(1) (B) of the income tax act - to add livestock inventory to income. - Advance the sale of stored produce or livestock. - Delay paying accounts until January, 1985. - Collect on accounts receivable. This is a good opportunity to approach your accountant concerning tax management strategy before the busy accounting season.
