PLANSCAPE BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH PLANNING MARGARET RICHARD WALTON HUNTER MPI. MCIP RPP MCIP RPP

August 2, 2002 Dear Sir/Madam: As you may be aware, the Hamilton Wentworth Federation of Agriculture and the City of Hamilton have joined forces to conduct a study entitled The Agriculture Economic Impact and Development Study. This study is to identify the importance of agriculture in the City and to ensure that the conditions exist for it to flourish and prosper. We are asking for your co-operation in completing the enclosed confidential survey. The goal of our research is to contribute to the sound planning of agricultural land in the City, to ensure that adequate protection and attention are given to existing agricultural activities, and to take future agricultural needs into account. The study’s success depends on our ability to understand the City’s agricultural community and the current economic development and trends within the industry. Within the next week, a member of the consulting team will be calling you to arrange a time when it would be convenient to complete the survey over the telephone. We are providing the questionnaire in advance so you will be aware of its nature when you receive the call. All information collected through this survey will be handled with the strictest confidence. No individual’s identity will be revealed in the presentation of results. Our report will present an aggregate overview of current trends and practices. The information we are gathering does not currently exist, so this is not an update of available information. Hence, your participation is vital to the success of the study. We have tried to keep the length of the survey to a bare minimum. Please call 1-800-363-2432 if you have any questions about its contents. A list of the Steering Committee members is also enclosed should you wish to discuss this with them. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this study. The results are scheduled to be available through the City and the Federation of Agriculture in November of this year. Yours truly, PLANSCAPE Margaret Walton Margaret Walton, M.PI., MCIP, RPP Planning Consultant

City of Hamilton Agricultural Economic Impact and Development Study Farmer Survey – Questionnaire Analysis Page A2.1


INTRODUCTION As part of the overall agricultural study, a survey of farm operators was undertaken. A total of 94 responses were received to the survey. A total of 318 surveys were mailed. This represents a 29.6 % response. The purpose of the survey was to obtain information on a variety of characteristics of the farming community, including identification of business practices and opportunities. A copy of the survey and the covering letter are attached at the end of this Appendix. The appendix provides a breakdown of the responses to the various questions, with brief statements to further explain the tables and charts. OVERVIEW OF SURVEY RESULTS The following provides a breakdown of the results of the surveys. While a total of 94 responses were received, not all questions were answered in each instance. Where this has occurred, rather the analysis has been completed on the basis of the number of respondents that answered the particular question. As such, the total number of respondents may vary for each question.

Question 1: Location COMMENTS: The majority of respondents (54.3%) are from Flamborough, followed by Glanbrook (16.0%), and Ancaster (9.6%). This distribution is generally reflective of the overall farming community in Hamilton, as noted in the 2001 Census information, although respondents from Glanbrook tend to be under-represented.

Sole Proprietorship Corporate Rent/Lease Partnership

Question 2: Ownership Type: COMMENTS: This question asked the respondents to identify the ownership type of their farming operation. Over ½ of the respondents operate as sole proprietorship (52.1%), usually representing a family ownership. This is followed by 26.6% that operate as partnerships. Only 18% of respondents indicate that they operate under a corporate structure.

COMMENT: Two thirds of respondents advise that they own the land they farm. Almost one-third also farm rental properties. It is interesting to note that the average size of farm where the farmer is not involved with rental is 81 acres. Farmers that own & rent property have an average size of 264 acres, of which an average 85 acres is owned. The average area rented is 179 acres, over twice the average size of the owned farms.

Question 4a: Do you farm any rental properties? COMMENTS: Slightly less than two-thirds of respondents do not farm rental properties. If yes, Location (in relation to home farm) Number of parcels exceed number of respondents because some farm operators farm at different locations. COMMENTS: Of the 35 respondents who indicated that they farmed rental properties 20 advised that their rental property was located Within 1 mile of their home farm. Some respondents advised that they farmed more than one rental property, and with having more than one, the location of that property in relation to their home farm, may be different.

Question 4b & c: How many parcels are rented? How many landlords? COMMENTS: It is common for a farmer renting other farms to have a number of different landlords. Question 4d: Is your home farm in the City of Hamilton? One hundred per cent of the respondents indicated that their home farm was located in the City of Hamilton. Question 4e: For your rental properties please indicate the type of rental agreement: COMMENTS: Thirty-Five respondents indicated that they farmed rental properties. Of those 35 respondents a variety of rental agreements were identified. Some farmers had different agreements with more than one landlord, 16 or 38.1% indicated that they had an annual lease agreement with their landlord. A significant number of respondents also have an informal agreement (14 of 33.3%) with their landlord. Less than 30% of respondents have any long term agreements.

COMMENTS: Only 8.8% of respondents have farmed less than 10 years. Over 50% of respondents have farmed for over 30 years, about 18% have farmed for over 50 years. These figures reinforce other statistics indicating that fewer new farmers are entering the labour force and the age of farmers is increasing.

Question 6b: How many generations has your family farmed this property? (Generations)

COMMENTS: A clear majority, 56 respondents or 60.2%, indicated that they were the first generation farming their particular property. This would indicate that while children have continued farming, they are likely to acquire their own farming operation rather than just taking over the family farm.

# of Family Members

Question 7a: Do you have family members working on the farm? COMMENTS: A clear majority, 65 respondents or 69.1% advised that they have family members working on their farming operation. This number reinforces the fact that farming, as an occupation, is a family activity.

Of the respondents, which indicated that there were family members, working on the farm 11 respondents did not provide a breakdown of numbers. Of those who responded 27 of the 58 respondents indicated that there was only 1 family member working on the farm. A large number of the respondents (15 or 25.9%) have two family members working on the farm.

Question 36: Would you like to provide any further Comments/Issues/Concerns? A large number of additions comments were provided that help provide insight into other issues affecting the farm community; a selected listing of some of there comments is produced below:

There is a lack of profitability for the next generation of farmers. There is a need for long term training of employees. It is very difficult to keep employees returning year

after year. Oyster Mushrooms are a very specific type of farming operation, which requires a high degree of

training and education. Property taxes are too high. To maintain agriculture, people need to buy the products locally, especially when fruits are in season. Insurance companies will not insure farms for Pick Your Own type of service. Improper management of farmland by the municipality is hindering farmers and is frustrating. There is not enough money for the next generation to take over the farm. There is a high rate of debt associated with farming. The cost of farming is continually rising but the level of income generated does not. Rents property from developers The prices for corn are set in Chicago, and the marketing board does not have much control over this,

which disables them from being able to help the farmers. People would like to see subsidies of the same nature as the United States. This would level the playing

field for all worldwide markets. The son owns most of the farming equipment and uses it on the farm when required. Would not recommend for anyone to go into farming in this day and age. Marketing boards hold too much power over a lot of farmers (adversely affecting their incomes). 75% of the family income is generated from investment income and not farming. Over time farming has become much more technical in nature. Experienced help is not available for seasonal employment due to the low wage levels being offered. Production based subsidies (i.e. production per worker ratio) could be used to support higher-level

producing farmers. There is virtually no support towards agriculturally used land in the City of Hamilton Farming and agricultural land use policies are geared towards pro-development and in order to keep

people farming this trend must change. There are no mechanisms in place for vast improvements in the farming operations. The voices of the farmers are not strongly heard among the City Councillors. The importance of farming needs to be recognized on the Federal Government Level. Value added products on farms are to be charged business taxes. Federal Agencies act as if the farmers do not exist. OMAFRA is not as strong as they used to be at providing valuable information to the farmers. Government subsidies need to be increased to the level of European farmers in order to maintain

Canadians working as farmers, and so that the agriculture industry does not become an import industry. The water level in the area is dropping due to the subdivision development on the rear of the farm lots. There are major concerns of how to pass the farm over to the next generation. Supermarkets offer prices that are too low for the produce, which in turn hurts the retail prices of the

produce. The City of Hamilton is imposing Urban By-laws, planning permits, etc… onto the rural agricultural

community, which is making it impossible to continue to farm and expand the operations. The nursery/greenhouse industry employs 000’s of people, so why is Hamilton restricting the growth

and profitability of them. Financial and Insurance Services charge the farmers too high of rates. People who are not farmers but purchase land in a farming area are unconscious of the issues that

surround the farming industry. Farmers would like to provide additional activities but find it difficult to do so. The price for purchasing milk quota is extremely high. There are too many surveys to complete throughout the year. The food market is no longer profitable. Trucking companies are not very reliable.



The city of Hamilton needs to understand the Agricultural Industry. The farm has purposely been located centrally so that distribution is no more than 30 minutes to all

areas that are being dealt with. The servicing of farm machinery is becoming extremely expensive. People do not like seeing farmland being developed into golf courses and subdivisions. There is a concern for new management requirements that the livestock farms will have to conform with.

The costs to conform to these requirements could put many farmers out of business. The tax base should not be the only thing that councils look at when determining land severances, as it

is there are too many. Severances should be more closely watched and restricted. Farm is surrounded by 120 homes and the people that live there are unconscious about the farmers’

properties. Farmers are concerned with the fact that other people are using their property as personal parks. All school children should have summer terms working on a farm in Canada. Can foresee a shortage of food in the future and thinks that people need to better understand farming

and help protect it. Education of the consumers about farming should be improved in the future. Many new laws and regulations are becoming problematic for farmers. The OFA needs to be revitalized and continue to be an evolving organization. Government assistance forms are complicated and are forced to pay professionals to fill them out.

PLANSCAPE BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH PLANNING MARGARET RICHARD WALTON HUNTER MPL MCIP RPP MCIP RPP

August 29, 2002 Dear Sir/Madam: As you may be aware, the Hamilton Wentworth Federation of Agriculture and the City of Hamilton have joined forces to conduct a study entitled The Agriculture Economic Impact and Development Study. This study is to identify the importance of agriculture in the City and to ensure that the conditions exist for it to flourish and prosper. We are asking for your co-operation in completing the enclosed confidential survey. The goal of our research is to contribute to the sound planning of agricultural land in the City, to ensure that adequate protection and attention are given to existing agricultural activities, and to take future agricultural needs into account. The study’s success depends on our ability to understand the City’s agricultural community and the current economic development and trends within the industry. We would like you to complete the survey as soon as possible, and mail it back to us in the return envelope provided. If faxing it back is easier, our number is (705) 645-4500 – just make sure to send both sides of the survey. Someone from our office will be calling in September to make sure you received the survey, and to answer any questions you may have. All information collected through this survey will be handled with the strictest confidence. No individual’s identity will be revealed in the presentation of results. Our report will present an aggregate overview of current trends and practices. The information we are gathering does not currently exist, so this is not an update of available information. Hence, your participation is vital to the success of the study. We have tried to keep the length of the survey to a bare minimum. Please call 1-800-363-2432 if you have any questions about its contents. A list of the Steering Committee members is also enclosed should you wish to discuss this with them. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this study. The results are scheduled to be available through the City and the Federation of Agriculture in November of this year. Yours truly, PLANSCAPE

The results will help us raise the profile of agriculture in new City of Hamilton. The data being sought is not available to the study team from any other source. Therefore we ask your patience and help in working through the questions. PLEASE COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE FOR EACH OF YOUR SEPARATE FARMING OPERATIONS AS SOON AS YOU CAN, AND RETURN IT IN THE ENVELOPE PROVIDED (BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER). ). If you need more copies please call 1-800-363-2432. We realize that this information is not readily available, but it is important that we get data about where you spend your money so we can show how important agriculture is to your community. If you participate in NISA, your NISA statement will contain most of the information we are asking for. Otherwise, please give us the total amount of your expenses, and estimate the percentage of that amount that you spend in each category. Depending on the type of farming you do, you may not have expenses in each of the categories or you may spend most of your money in only a few of the categories. We would like to have all surveys returned by the end of September. A Planscape employee will be calling you to make sure that you received the survey and to answer any questions you may have.

APPENDIX 5Canada Land Inventory Classifications



APPENDIX 5 CANADA LAND INVENTORY (CLI)

CLASSES

Class 1 Soils have no signification limitations; generally level or very gentle slopes, deep, good water holding capacity, and are well to imperfectly drained.

Class 2 Moderate limitations that restrict the range of crops or require moderate conservation practices. Soils are deep with good water-holding capacity. Limitations are moderate (i.e. Adverse regional climate, poor soil structure, low fertility, moderate erosion) and are generally easily correctable.

Class 3 Moderately severe limitations that restrict the range of crops or require special conservation practices, but are considered fair to moderately high in productivity for a wide range of field crops. Limitations may be a combination of those found under Class 2 or may include one or more of the following: Moderate climatic limitations Moderately severe erosion Intractable soil mass or very slow permeability Correctable low fertility Moderate to steep slopes Frequent runoff accompanied by crop damage Stoniness necessitating some clearing

Class 4 Severe limitations that restrict the range of crops or require special conservation practices. This class is generally considered suitable for only a few crops (yield for a range of crops low/crop failure high). Productivity is low to medium for narrow range of crops with a higher productivity for specially adapted crop types. Limitations include the following: steep slopes, severe past erosion, frequent surface runoff, severe salinity or aridity, and extreme stoniness.

Class 5 Very severe limitations that restrict their capability in producing perennial forage crops, and improvement practices are feasible. This soil class generally includes serious physical, climatic and other limitations that make it incapable of sustaining production of annual field crops.

Class 6 There soils are capable only of producing perennial forage crops, and improvement practices are not feasible. Improvement practices on these types are not economical due to serious climatic and other physical limitations. Soils are marginal for agricultural use though they are generally used for periodic rough grazing for farm animals.

Class 7 No capacity for arable culture or permanent pasture. With a low economic feasibility caused from a combination of severe climatic and physical limitations this class is not suitable for agricultural use. All classified areas not including organic are placed in this Class including areas of exposed rock and small water bodies.

Organic Soils Not placed in capability classes.



CAPABILITY SUBCLASSES

Subclasses are divisions within classes that have the same kind of limitations for agricultural use. There are 13 recognized types of limitations as follows:

C Adverse climate

➣ Significant adverse climate for crop production which limits maturity of field crops from insufficient precipitation and less than optimal high growing-season temperatures causing partial or total crop failure.

D Undesirable Soils Structure and/or Low Permeability

➣ Soils difficult to till, or absorb water slowly, or where depth of rooting zone is restricted

➣ Not including high water table or consolidated bedrock

E Erosion

➣ Where damage caused from erosion limits agricultural use

➣ Damage assessed on loss of productivity and on difficulty of farming land with gullies

F Low Fertility

➣ Correctable with careful management or difficult to correct in a feasible way

➣ Limitations include lack of available plant nutrients, high acidity or alkalinity, low exchange capacity, high levels or carbonates or presence of toxic compounds

I Inundation by Streams or Lakes

➣ Restricted agricultural use or crop damage from inundation

M Moisture Limitations

➣ Soils with generally low water-holding capacity characteristics which adversely affects crops

N Salinity

➣ These soil types are limited to Class 3 to 7

➣ Restrictions in the range of crops that may be grown due to high content of soluble salts



P Stoniness

➣ Soils which contain stones to adversely affect or hinder tillage, planting and harvesting

➣ These soils are generally less productive than comparable soils without stones

R Consolidated Bedrock

➣ The presence of bedrock on or near the surface restricts agricultural use

➣ Not considered as a limitation where consolidated bedrock is located at depths of over three feet from the surface, however, greater depth of soil is required for irrigated lands

S Combination of Subclasses

➣ Includes one or more of the following subclasses: D, F, M, and N

T Topography

➣ Limitation factors which increase the cost of farming over that of smooth land, include percent of slope and pattern or frequency of slopes in different directions

➣ Topography may decrease the uniformity, growth and maturity of crops and may increase the likelihood of erosion from water

W Excess Water

➣ Not including inundation by streams or lakes

➣ Limitations include inadequate soil drainage, high water table, seepage or runoff from surrounding area

X This Subclass is comprised of soils having a limitation resulting from the cumulative effect of two or more adverse characteristics
