Storage payment applies for wheat stored on the farmn only for October, Novem~ber and December of 1978 and Jan- uary and February 1979. Wheat may be delivered in any month up to June 3th of 1979, but the maximum stor- age payment will not exceed $3.67 per tonne, which is the total to the end of February 1979. We have had questions from producers on this pro- gram, and we will try to answer some of them for you now. If you elect to store all of your 1977 wheat crop, andl collect storage payment, you will not receive the initial payment of $2 per bushel that is payable from- the agent at the time of delivery. In order to get the initial payxnent, you must deliver the wheat to an agent; this means that if you need some cash to pay the direct costs of planting and growing the crop, then, you might want to, sel some'of your wheat crop and put the rest in storage. You will then receive initial payment of the wheat that yOU deliver, and the remainder of wheat will get the initial payment when it is delivered. Storage payments are made on grain kept in storage for the above-mentioned five months, however, if you elect,, you can market this wheat at any time during the five months period. However, you will receive the m aximumn storage payment of $3.67,per tonne, if you hold the grain until the end of February, 1979. i nter- pro vincial1 goal1 close at h and Loto Quebec has announced that it will join The Provincial Lottery, and the Honourahie Robert Welch, Ontario's Min- ister of Culture and Recreat- ion, has responded to the announcement with enthus- iasm.
