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in the year made and an amount equal to the deduction will be included in assessable income when the deposit is withdrawn.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. 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.

Extractions: Endnotes Passage History Taxation Laws Amendment (Earlier Access to Farm Management Deposits) Bill 2002 Date Introduced: 5 December 2002 House: House of Representatives Portfolio: Treasury Commencement: The amendments described in this Digest relating to exceptional circumstances will be taken to have commenced on 1 July 2002. 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 Purpose To allow farm management deposits to retain their concessional tax treatment if withdrawn within 12 months of deposit where an exceptional circumstances determination is in force in respect of the depositors property.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 When income is high the funds deposited would otherwise be subject to higher marginal tax rates than when they are withdrawn when a lower marginal rate is payable or, depending on the level of income, no tax is payable.

Extractions: 4.3. New Market Compatible Policies The general direction of the reforms that codify access to land has been to end or greatly restrict the old systems of state-managed land confiscation and redistribution. Limits placed on the size of land ownership have been relaxed or removed. Communal or state owned agricultural land are frequently being distributed to the users of the land. There have also been dramatic changes in laws governing land markets. New laws have been passed permitting the sale, rental, and sharecropping of all land. Laws have been changed to permit foreign and corporate leasing and ownership of land. There have also been land titling initiatives to encourage land registration. New laws permit the use of land as collateral in credit transactions. Over-valued land. Tenancy laws and deforestation. Economic conditions and population pressures in some countries have led to the rapid expansion of crop and livestock frontiers with concomitant environmental degradation and deforestation. Some countries have land tenancy laws that encourage excessive deforestation and land clearing. For example, in Ecuador the Law on Unused Lands requires, for maintenance of ownership, that at least 50% of the land be cleared, that cleared land be cultivated for five years, and then that the other 50% be cleared. Similarly, the Law on Colonization requires settlers to clear eighty percent of the land or risk repossession. Lack of secure property rights discourages long term investment in land and forests.

You may view or download this report from the RIRDC web page at www.rirdc.gov.au/pub/cat/contents.html Although biodiversity conservation and timber production are sometimes seen as mutually exclusive goals of farm forestry, there are examples of where they have proved complementary. Such complementarity could be promoted through six mutually reinforcing strategies: The consultants examined: The outcome was a discussion paper on the practical integration of farm forestry and biodiversity.It concluded that while more research is needed,there are many potential ways of ensuring that biodiversity values are maintained and enhanced,even when the primary farm forestry objective is commercial production. The consultants identified a spectrum of trade- offs between the goals of commercial timber production and biodiversity conservation (Figure 1).At one end are large,monoculture plantations managed intensively for timber.At the other end are mixed species plantations, often on a small scale,with little active management.In between are plantations where aspects of both goals might be accommodated. As part of the consultancy,CSIRO scientists conducted a literature review of scientific studies related to biodiversity in farm forestry.They found that research relevant to this topic is sparse and generally inconclusive.For example,few studies compare the biodiversity value of farm forestry on cleared agricultural land with that of land used for traditional agricultural enterprises. This largely reflects the fact that farm forestry is only a relatively recent phenomenon in Australia and points out a major need for further research.

http://www.fca.gov/About-FCA.htm

Extractions: The Farm Credit Administration (FCA or agency) is an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. Government. It is responsible for the regulation and examination of the banks, associations, and related entities that collectively comprise what is known as the Farm Credit System (System), including the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac). Initially created by an Executive order of the President in 1933, the agency now derives its powers and authorities from the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended (Act). FCA's mission is to promote a safe, sound, and dependable source of credit and related services for agriculture and rural America. FCA promulgates regulations to implement the Act and examines System institutions for compliance with the Act, regulations, and safe and sound banking practices. If an institution is found to be in violation of the Act or regulations or is operating in an unsafe or unsound manner, the agency has several enforcement options at its disposal to bring about corrective action. The policymaking of the agency is vested in a full-time, three-person board whose members are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The President also designates the chairman of the board who serves as the agency's chief executive officer (CEO) and is responsible for the management of the agency. The agency has been so managed since enactment of the Farm Credit Amendments Act of 1985, which became effective December 23, 1985. The three members of the FCA Board also serve as the board of the

Extractions: Foreign Policy In Focus www.fpif.org To qualify for PVP, plant varieties must comply with the standards of the UPOV The time frame of the monopoly is 20 years for crop varieties and 25 years for trees and vines. In effect, for 20-25 years the protected variety becomes the property of the breeder, and nobody can plant or otherwise use this variety without compensating the breeder. This means that Iraqi farmers can neither freely legally plant nor save for replanting seeds of any plant variety registered under the plant variety provisions of the new patent law. This deprives farmers of what they and many others worldwide claim as their inherent right to save and replant seeds. What it will actually do is facilitate the penetration of Iraqi agriculture by the likes of Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer, and Dow Chemicalthe corporate giants that control seed trade across the globe. Eliminating competition from farmers is a prerequisite for these companies to establish operations in Iraq, a condition that the new law has achieved. Taking over the first step in the food chain is the next corporate move. since physical segregation of GM crops from GM-free crops is not feasible. Once GM crops are introduced into the agro-ecological cycle, there is no possible recall or cleanup from genetic pollution.

http://www.kucinich.us/issues/farmpolicy.php

Extractions: Department of Peace Something is wrong when profits of agribusiness corporations skyrocket, but farmers must find off-farm jobs or sell their farms to survive. I believe the United States must implement the following farm policies to benefit farmers, provide our nation with wholesome food, protect our natural resources, and restore our rural communities: Fair Price and Fair Markets Cancel NAFTA and the WTO, replacing them with bilateral trade agreements designed to benefit family farmers and workers while protecting the health of communities and the environment. Country-of-origin labeling would be required. Empower farmers in the marketplace by providing incentives to join a collective bargaining unit with voluntary membership open only to active producers and the right to bring suit in federal court if an agribusiness doesn't bargain in good faith. Market Concentration Create new markets by actively enforcing existing anti-trust laws and proposing new laws to force divestiture in concentrated markets, breaking apart monopolistic agribusiness companies and shifting farm economics towards higher commodity prices for farmers. To increase competition in the livestock industry, support a national ban on packer ownership of livestock.

http://are.berkeley.edu/APMP/pubs/lmd/html/spring_91/FarmPersonnel.html

Extractions: Originally printed in . . . Farm Personnel Policies by Computer: Review of One Software Package Norman J. Hetland and Howard R. Rosenberg Many farm employers have found written personnel policies helpful to guide decisions and clarify what workers and managers can expect of one another. Policies can save much administrative time and help reduce the incidence of supervisory decisions that violate a public law or a private sense of fairness. Not all farmers who appreciate the potential of communicating policies through employee handbooks, however, have the time to develop one. For several years reference books and consulting services have provided example policies that could be used verbatim or modified for individual firms. Computer software packages now offer similar aid, plus the facility to print policies in handbook form bearing the company name. Most of these programs, while allowing the user to edit standard wording, give little or no basis for weighing the appropriateness of a given policy in different contexts. A notable exception, by KnowledgePoint, Petaluma, CA, is Personnel Policy Expert, which won a 1989 Excellence in Software Award from the Software Publishers Association. Personnel Policy Expert (PPE) is advertised as an "expert system," providing on-screen information about policy topics (including applicable laws) and posing diagnostic questions about management preferences and company circumstances. User responses to these questions are automatically factored into draft policies that can be edited and printed as a customized handbook. Of 14 computerized policy generators that we were able to identify in a recent search, only PPE, priced at $495 (semi-annual updates cost $95 per year) claims this form of user-friendliness. Most of the others, producing rather generic policies without education or diagnostics, retail for $40 to $170.
