Christian Farmers Issue Statement On Government's Deficiency Payments Christian Farmers Federation Federation of Ontario Re: Deficiency Payments We, the participants in the Fourth Annual Consultation Consultation between the Christian Christian Farmers Federation of Alberta and . Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario, Ontario, welcome the willingness willingness of the federal government government to provide Canadian grain producers with a billion billion dollar deficiency payment. payment. This financial support support will provide significant significant financial relief for the many producers facing low commodity prices. However, the way in which the deficiency payments payments are made could have major long-term consequences consequences for family farmers that are already in serious financial trouble or that have adopted stewardly farming practices. We call upon the federal and provincial Agriculture Ministers to set firm family farm maximums on these payments. Maximums are necessary to guarantee that Kitchen, McCallum & Porter CERTIFIED GENERAL ACCOUNTANTS JOHN G. MANUEL, CGA 118 KING street east DONALD K. KITCHEN, CGA, CIA bowmanville. ont. L1C1N5 PARTNERS (416)6236555 the funds will not worsen the financially precarious position of many struggling family farmers. Across-the- board handouts based solely solely on the amount of grain produced will help the established established farmer much more than those who need the money to pay last year's interest. The competitive edge of 'well-established producers will increase much more than the viability viability of the one-third of family farmers who are struggling to survive. The money, if not well targetted, will hurt family agriculture more than it will help. without targetting, the program will not bring effective effective relief to those >yho are already in trouble. Secondly, if this billion dollar deficiency payment is the beginning of a series of subsidies over the next few years, all grain producers, producers, including those who feed it to their own livestock, livestock, should, receive the payment. Oiir more stewardly stewardly family farms, those that combine livestock and land enterprises, will be disadvantaged if farm fed grain is not eligible. Over a period of time, lo\y feed prices will lead to surplus livestock production resulting resulting in a double loss for diversified diversified family enterprises. enterprises.

But that's the tax ceiling which the government has created in Sweden and it was just one of the cultural rarities described by Birgitta Birgitta Manussson at the Bowmanville Bowmanville Rotary Club last week. Ms. Manusson is a Swedish lawyer currently studying for a master's law degree at Osgoode Hall under a Rotary Foundation fellowship. During her presentation to the Rotary Club, she created a picture of Sweden through a slide show and a detailed description of the country. The tax ceiling was part of a description of the social welfare system in Sweden. Ms. Manusson said the social social welfare system in Sweden Sweden is exceptional. She noted that most health care services are free and education education is free. In other areas of social welfare, she said the government is equally supportive.

She said being a farmer's wife and talking about seeds, you usually think of seeds of oats, barley barley or wheat. The seeds of happiness could be a child picking dandelions for a mother's gift. For a farmer trying to harvest harvest a new-mown field of hay without rain could be his seeds of happiness. For many of us, our seeds of happiness could be anything anything from our lovely flower beds to baking an apple pie or even seeing happiness in our families eyes from some achievement.
