Host farmers are to be engaged in farming full-time and be on a commercial operation. They must also be interested in helping inexperienced inexperienced young people develop •• the skills required on a farm, and have the ability to work well with and supervise young people. The farm must also have suitable accommodation. accommodation. The students will receive ' $16.00 per ' day as their training allowance. The Ontario Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will provide $6.00 of this and the farmer provides $5.00 cash and $5.00 worth of room and board per day. The students will stay on the farm from June 21st to August 20th, working twelve days consecutively and then receiving two days off, usually usually from after chores on Friday evening to before chores on Monday morning.
