BSE compensation aims to help suffering farmers / II i A \\ ment depending on program participation lev- , Bv LEAH MILLER w Equity Reporter - On March 22, Prime Minister Paul Martin announced that the federal government will be funding $995 million in assistance for Canadian farmers who are facing financial challenges due to the BSE crisis.For Pontiac farmers, it is broken down to a direct payment of up to $80 per cow.Eligible cows do not include cows that have calved or bulls over the age of one year.\u201cThis w ill be put in place instead of the guaranteed loan.* said Gilles Lavoie of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.The guaranteed loan program that was proposed last month w ould have allowed producers to borrow $300 per head on their total herd inventory including mature bulls and cows.\u201cSo this is much better, * Lavoie said.Inventoried animals The payment w ill only be given to animals on inventory as of December 23, 2003.the day when the second case of BSE (mad cow disease) was discovered in North America.This includes dairy heifers.\u201cIt was that date that the market became more nervous and prices went (even further) down,** said Lavoie.The funding will be given to producers based on their past income information as well.The program w ill be open to all farming operations with cattle, including feedlot, backgrounding and cow-calf operations.Odile Otis of La Financière Agricole Quebec has been told to tell customers to call back in a few weeks.\u201cIt could change in a couple of weeks, she said.\u201cWe are waiting because the province may add some money to it.' Payments will be adjusted in the final install- els v Payments for producers of other ruminants are up to $16 for sheep.$16 for goats.$80 for bison.$40 for elk and $20 for deer.\u201cIt s still a far cry from w hat I should be getting for them.\" said Ron Hodgins.spokesperson of the Pontiac Beef Improvement Club.\u201cBut it's certainly better than nothing.\" Hodgins said that most farmers have been hoping the borders will open up.and have wintered their herds while they waited.\u201cThe price hasn't come back, and they're running out of feed.\" said Hodgins.\u201cOr some have bit the bullet and got nd of them but still have extra feed around.\" For now Hodgins is sticking to his \u201cdamned if you do or damned if you don't\" theory but feels he will still end up losing in the end.\u201cWe should be working on opening the border.\" said Hodgins.Meanwhile.Hodgins said, consumers are still having to pay full prices for their meat.\u201cWe're selling our carcasses for peanuts and the prices still aren't dropping.\" Make application In order to get the payments, producers must submit an application to Agriculture and Agri Food Canada and declare their inventories as of Dec.23, 2(X>3.After submitting applications, producers will receive a preliminary payment representing 70 per cent of their maximum.Final payments w ill be delivered once the majority of herd inventories are registered.Payments are planned to be given out starting in April.More information and application forms can be found at www.agr.gc.ca or at 1-866-3678506.PONTIAC Leah Miller.THE
