Ontario to fund aid plan for farmers interest relief
Ontario proposes a $25 million program to subsidize a maximum of 50,000 dollars per farmer in interest on short-term working capital. The subsidy would be three percent if matched by federal dollars, with OFA president Ralph Barrie urging immediate federal support to allow planting this year. The plan follows a Bank of Canada rate drop and banks cutting prime rates, aiming to ease high interest burdens on food producers.
