Land Transfer Plan To Be Phased Out In February
Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan announced the Land Transfer Plan will end this winter. Initiated in 1972 under the Small Farm Development Program, it offered Vendors' Assistance Grants up to 3600 to help small uneconomical farms exit the industry. The plan, active in most provinces, ends as land and commodity prices rose. Applications must be filed by February 28, 1979 with the Farm Credit Corporation Credit Advisor.
