Agri Interim Payments For 1985 Corn and Soybean Crops On May 15, 1986, Agriculture Minister, John Wise, has announced announced interim payments for the 1985 grain corn and soybean crops. The interim payments will total between $17 and $20 million. Corn producers will receive $5 per tonne on sales to March 31,*1986. Soy bean producers will receive $9 per tonne on sales up to March 31, 1986. Producers who receive the interim interim payment will have it deducted from 'their final payment. Virtually 100 per cent of Canada's soybean production is in Ontario where the producer marketing system provides all the necessary data for issuing the interim interim payment. Ontario produces 70 per cent of Canada's grain corn, followed by Quebec with 20 per cent; Manitoba, , Alberta and Nova Scotia produce the remainder. Ontario has a system for collecting collecting corn marketing data and this will be the basis for making the payment payment to Ontario producers. In the provinces where such marketing data does not exist, departmental officials are initiating discussions with provincial government government and producer representatives in an effort to generate the necessary information. "All Canadian commercial corn and soybean producers are eligible to benefit from the federal stabiliza- (ion program", Mr. Wise said.
