Return Home Farm Policy: An Agenda for Reform by John E. Frydenlund Backgrounder #1524 Now that the U.S. Senate has passed its version of the farm bill, House and Senate conferees will soon begin meeting to resolve relatively minor differences between the two versions. Both the House and Senate bills represent a dramatic departure from the "freedom to farm" concept that was incorporated in the 1996 farm bill, and both bills signal a return to federal control over agriculture production. In addition, while both versions would increase farm subsidies by $73 billion over the next 10 years, the Senate bill front-loads more than 60 percent of the increase in the first five years. The Bush Administration has expressed its general reservations about the policy direction embodied in this legislation but has not threatened a veto. President George W. Bush should send a message to Congress that it must step away from a myopic focus on government support and control in the agriculture industry and instead explore new ideasparticularly those that utilize private-sector solutions that are already available. In the long run, farmers stand to benefit far more from this approach than they do from a continuation of nanny-state programs and government micromanagement. KEEPING REFORM ON TRACK Although the 1996 farm bill failed to eliminate the archaic permanent farm law, it implied that the seven-year transition period from 1996 to 2002 would lead to the eventual termination of agricultural subsidies, which have been both counterproductive and harmful to agricultural trade. Former House Agriculture Committee Chairman Robert F. Smith (R-OR), speaking in opposition to an amendment to reform the sugar program in 1997, argued that the amendment was unnecessary because the sugar program was slated to end along with all other farm programs.

Purpose To replace current income equalisation schemes available to primary producers with a new scheme that will be operated by the private sector. Deposits under the new scheme will be deductible in the year made and an amount equal to the deduction will be included in assessable income when the deposit is withdrawn. There will be a cap on the amount that will be subject to this concessional tax treatment. Background Currently, taxation concessions are available to primary producers under the Income Equalisation Deposit (IED) scheme and Farm Management Bonds (FMB). Both schemes aim to allow funds to be set aside in years of high income for use when income falls below average. Deposits made under either scheme are tax deductible.

The amendment relating to repayment terms will apply from 2 January 1999. Purpose To allow farm management deposits to retain their concessional tax treatment if withdrawn within 12 months of deposit where an exceptional circumstances determination is in force in respect of the depositor’s property. The Bill will also amend the nature of accounts which can be used for Farm Management Deposits. Background There have been a number of schemes designed to encourage primary producers to deposit funds when their income is high and draw upon them when income is low. Such schemes involve an exemption from tax for the funds deposited and their taxation on withdrawal. When income is high the funds deposited would otherwise be subject to higher marginal tax rates than when they are withdrawn when a lower marginal rate is payable or, depending on the level of income, no tax is payable.

AgMAS Report 2004-03: Crop Farmers' Use of Market Advisory Services This study sought to examine the nature of farmers' use of market advisory services based on the results of a survey of US crop producers. The survey revealed that market advisory service users tend to be significantly more risk seeking than non-users. Survey results indicated a large range in patterns of use of advisory services. Most farmers use advisory services to the greatest extent for marketing information, market analysis, and to keep up with markets. General guidelines (market strategies and price information) are utilized more than specific advice (e.g., specific pricing decisions, price forecasts).

What's Core 4 Conservation? Core 4 Conservation Partners News Core 4 Conservation Brochures ... Contact Us/Staff Anti-Corporate Farming Laws as Environmental Policy Nancy L. Thompson, Consultant Center for Rural Affairs and South Dakota Family Farm Coalition The History of Initiative 300 Corporations and other limited liability business organizations were created to encourage the accumulation of capital to allow for industrial scale enterprises. These structures are granted preferential treatment, including limited liability, and in the case of corporations, certain tax advantages. Limited liability reduces risk for investors who do not directly take part in management and labor functions, and corporate tax rates allow owners to avoid the progressive affect of personal income taxes on large farm profits. This helps corporations attract investment dollars from tax conscious high-income people, not inclined to labor on a farm. Also inherent to the corporate structure is the separation of the economic functions of ownership, management, and labor among different levels of people, leading to a farm structure where farm workers rarely have an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of ownership. When the Nebraska legislature failed to put restrictions on corporate farming, citizens took matters into their own hands. In 1982, they collected enough signatures on an initiative petition to place on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment banning "non-family farm corporations and syndicates" from owning farmland or engaging in farming or ranching. The proposed amendment received over 56% of the vote. The number 300 was the ballot designation given to the proposed amendment by the Secretary of State at the time and the law has been popularly known as Initiative 300 for nearly sixteen years.

IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE - The information on this site is subject to a and a Press releases Brussels, 8 November 2000 Food law from farm to table - Creating a European Food Authority "Safety is the most important ingredient in our food. Europe must have the capacity to ensure that we can deliver this to our consumers. This legislative package is designed to overcome the weaknesses of the past and put food safety firmly on top of our agenda. The substantive food law and the creation of the European Food Authority are the building blocks, the very foundations upon which our new food safety policy will rest," Health and Consumer Commissioner David Byrne said when presenting the proposal. Byrne went on to emphasise, "We have to re-gain public confidence in the capacity of the food industry and in public authorities to ensure that food is safe. The new food law provides the basic principles and requirements for the marketing of food and for the assurance of a safe food supply to consumers. It will also address the safety of animal feeds particularly where these may have a direct or indirect effect on food safety. A well-resourced Food Authority underpins this approach with top class, up-to-date scientific advice to consumers, industry, Member States, the Commission and the European Parliament. A key element of the Authority is the closest involvement of the food safety authorities of the Member States to facilitate the early identification of emerging risks and to avoid confusing and conflicting messages to consumers."

Why Australia is not prepared for commercial trials ... 13 Science based reasons for GM-free Farmers are seeding This is a busy time of the year for farmers as it is the time to plant the crop. Spare a thought for what could have been if GM crops were commercially released and farmers chose to market as non-GM. The procedure for rigorous cleanout regimes would be impossible as cleaning tynes, bins, augers etc would be time consuming and cost prohibitive. We have had our seeder working 24 hours/day for over 3 weeks, any delays would be too costly and not tolerated. 18.8 metre wide flexicoil airseeder 36 metre wide hydraboomspray The NSW government made restrictions for trials and Bayer Cropscience refused to participate in trials in NSW due to an unwillingness to compare their variety in an adverse season and unhappiness at restrictive conditions.
