Surplus farm houses

Over the last year and a half in Perth County we have had the surplus farm house issue visited twice. Most recently about a month ago county council decide to turn the motion down for the second time. The issue we divide people easier than picking your favorite hockey team. I don't believe there is a right or wrong answer but my problem is if it has been defeated twice why in after only a month of being defeated is it back on the table. This almost feels like a federal election. Democercy has to be considered some where along the line perhaps we have to have the best 3 out of 5. In tough economic times does our elected people have nothing better to do. It is like the dog that has chased a cat up the tree and won't move until it comes down(alot of wasted energy and resources for no reason). Anyway just wanting to hear other thoughts on the severance of surplus farm houses. Yes or No

I have several farm houses that I rent out and can see the merits of both sides of this argument. I do not think I want to sell mine . I would like to rent them out to some one that would take care of them. I am not interested in making a lot of money from them I would just like to breakeven, and have my building maintained.As renters come and go the the building seems to decline. I can not believe there are not people out there that would fulfill this goal, but they seem to be few and far between in my experience. It would be nice to be able to be to participate in some program for the distressed or under privileged that would help ensure payment and find the right tenants.

Not so happy landlord

US Producer Sentiment Slips in December

U.S. producer sentiment declined slightly in December as concerns about tariffs and American export competitiveness weighed on farmers’ outlooks, according to the latest Purdue University–CME Group Ag Economy Barometer survey released Tuesday. The overall Ag Economy Barometer Index slipped three points from November to 136, reflecting a modest pullback in confidence after a stronger fall period. The decline was driven largely by softer long-term expectations. The Future Expectations Index fell four points to 140, while the Current Conditions Index held steady at 128, suggesting farmers’ views of present-day conditions remain relatively stable even as uncertainty clouds the outlook ahead. Export competitiveness emerged as a key pressure point, particularly for soybeans. While farmers expressed broad optimism about U.S. agricultural exports in general - only 5% of respondents said they expect exports to decline over the next five years — the tone shifted when the focus narrowed to so

Federal Biofuel Production Incentive Now in Effect

The federal government’s Biofuels Production Incentive is now in effect, marking a shift from policy announcement to on-the-ground support for Canada’s domestic renewable fuel sector as it grapples with intensifying trade pressures and global competition. Announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney on Sept. 5, 2025, the incentive officially took effect Jan. 1 and is designed to stabilize and protect Canadian biofuel production capacity. The program will provide more than $370 million over two years, offering per-litre support to Canadian producers of biodiesel and renewable diesel from January 2026 through December 2027. Facilities will be eligible for support on up to 300 million litres of production each. Industry groups say the measure is an important, if incomplete, step. Fred Ghatala, president of Advanced Biofuels Canada Association, said the incentive helps counter the disadvantage Canadian producers have faced since the introduction of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and its C

Producer Research and Evaluation Project

Funding is available for on-farm research that helps producers evaluate the feasibility and impact of new production practices, technologies, or products under real farm conditions. This opportunity is designed to help producers generate meaningful, farm-specific data to support informed decision-making and advance profitability, competitiveness, and sustainability. Funding of up to $20,000 per project is available to support on-farm research that evaluates whether a production practice change is feasible on-farm. The goal is to help producers gather sufficient data to make informed decisions and understand how to further adapt a production practice. In most cases, producers are expected to be working with third-party service providers to support project trial design, delivery, and analysis. Proposals must include a sound project design and testing approach that supports the evaluation of whether the production practice results in a positive return on investment and is a favourable
