(Saskatoon)<\/strong>\u2013 The National Farmers Union (NFU) calls on federal and provincial agriculture ministers to improve Business Risk Management (BRM) programs under Growing Forward 2 by ensuring needed money will be directed to family farms instead of being used to help the biggest corporate farms grow even larger.<\/p>\n

In a brief released today, National Farmers Union recommendations regarding Business Risk Management Programs under Growing Forward 2,<\/em> the NFU outlines ten policy recommendations that would improve the programs for the majority of farmers in Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cNFU research shows that the largest farms are receiving an increasingly higher portion of farm program dollars,\u201d said Ann Slater, Region 3 (Ontario) Coordinator. \u201cThe suite of BRM programs under Growing Forward 2 need to support the survival of small and medium sized family farms.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agriculture budget is being cut back ten percent, according to the federal budget. We aren\u2019t being given details of any planned cuts, but are being given hints that farmers will be asked to shoulder more risk,\u201d said Terry Boehm, NFU President. \u201cBut in large part these BRM programs — other than AgriInsurance — are needed because of the impacts of the government\u2019s direction, especially their continued refusal to address the anti-competitive behavior of oligopolistic railways, grain companies, meat processors, seed and input suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Until we have a food sovereignty-based agri-food policy in Canada, there will be a need for safety net programs to help family farmers survive the on-going farm income crisis,\u201d said Slater.\u00a0\u201cA new approach is needed for Canada’s agri-food policy — one which\u00a0changes the balance of power\u00a0within the food system and allows family farmers to receive a just livelihood.\u201d<\/p>\n
