OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalJul 11, 2005

Crop insurance claim adjusted for late planting and abandoned acres; investigation costs not deductible.

The appellant appealed AGRICORP's adjustment of her claim for her 2003 cucumber crop.

AGRICORP had initially cancelled her contract alleging misrepresentation regarding late planting and unharvested acres, but later reinstated it and offered a settlement of $18,663.93, deducting investigation costs.

The Tribunal found no deliberate intent to misrepresent but agreed with AGRICORP's calculation of late planted acres and the appellant's failure to obtain permission before abandoning acres.

The Tribunal ordered AGRICORP to pay $24,747.15, finding no contractual basis to deduct investigation costs.

Municipality ordered to adopt engineer's report for proposed municipal drain to serve new subdivision.

Place Riviera Place Inc. appealed the Township of Champlain's decision not to adopt an engineer's report for the proposed Gauthier Municipal Drain.

The appellant sought the drain to provide an outlet for a proposed subdivision.

Several neighbouring landowners opposed the drain, arguing the appellant should bear the full cost.

The Tribunal found the proposed works were necessary and the engineer's report was sound.

The Tribunal ordered the municipality to adopt the report and pass a provisional by-law, allowing the drainage process to continue.

Dairy farmer's appeal regarding final milk cheque calculation and quota allocation denied.

The appellant, a dairy farmer, appealed decisions of the Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) regarding the calculation of his final milk cheque, a refund of monies from the Fund for Milk and Cream Producers, and a request for an allocation of 100 kg of quota due to alleged unfair treatment.

The Tribunal declined jurisdiction over the refund issue.

On the merits, the Tribunal found no evidence that the DFO applied its policies unfairly or inconsistently with respect to the appellant's milk cheque or quota allocation.

The appeal was denied.

Request to review Tribunal decision rescinding conditional allowance for drainage works denied.

The petitioner requested a review of a Tribunal decision that rescinded a $1,500 allowance previously ordered in his favour.

The allowance had originally been conditional on the petitioner signing a release for potential erosion and pollution damages, which he subsequently refused to sign.

The Tribunal denied the request for review, finding no error of law or fact in its previous decision and noting it lacked jurisdiction to award damages for insufficient outlet.

Second request for review of milk quota decision denied for lack of substantial new evidence.

The appellant sought a second review of a Tribunal decision that denied his appeal for the continued use of 10 kg of milk quota on humanitarian grounds.

The appellant alleged conflicts of interest involving the Dairy Farmers of Ontario and the Tribunal due to ongoing litigation with the Crown.

The Chair of the Tribunal denied leave to consider the second request for review, finding no substantial new evidence or reason to warrant it.

Berendsen v Dairy Farmers of Ontario, 2005 ONAFRAAT 4

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalJan 28, 2005

Tobacco growers allowed to rent out 80% of marketing quota after relying on delayed federal buyout program.

The appellants, tobacco growers, appealed decisions of the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board (OFCTGMB) denying their requests to rent out 100% of their 2004 marketing quota and to receive funding from a quality assurance program.

The appellants had opted not to grow a crop in 2004 in anticipation of participating in a federal Tobacco Assistance Program (TAP) buyout, which was ultimately delayed.

The Tribunal found that the OFCTGMB had created an expectation regarding the TAP without adequately communicating the risks, but that the appellants also bore responsibility for their business decisions.

The Tribunal allowed the appellants to rent out 80% of their 2004 marketing quota, but dismissed the appeal regarding the quality assurance program funding, as the appellants did not grow a crop and thus did not meet the eligibility criteria.

Gilvesy and by River Ridge Limited v Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board, 2005 ONAFRAAT 3

OAFRAATAgriculture, Food & Rural Affairs Appeal TribunalJan 26, 2005

Tobacco growers allowed to rent out 80% of marketing quota after anticipated federal buyout program delayed.

The appellants, tobacco growers who did not plant a crop in 2004 in anticipation of participating in a federal quota buyout program, appealed a decision by the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board (OFCTGMB) that allowed them to rent out only 44% of their 2004 marketing quota.

The appellants sought to rent out 100% of their quota after the buyout program was delayed.

The Tribunal found that the OFCTGMB had actively promoted the federal program before details were finalized and did not adequately communicate the risks to growers.

Acknowledging shared responsibility between the OFCTGMB and the individual growers, the Tribunal ordered that the appellants be allowed to rent out 80% of their 2004 marketing quota.
