Dairy farmers have been given plenty' ofopportunity to:
-participate in testing and peribrmance i.etords., Other.
-incentives are available. Both the •-go,-0.10r. 19,45, of
• government, the province and, Ottawa, - have provided
plenty of encouragement in the form of grants and
subsidies. .
But production in Ontario has dropped in the last few „
years and the Ontario Milk Marketing Board wants to
know why. That is precisely why the. OMMB, is going to
impose a testing program on dairy farmers, a program
which will eventually force every dairyman in Ontario' to
keep responsible records.

''Ontario's budgetary post-
lion is also cause for Consi-
derable coacern. According
to 'the most recent 'Ontario
Finances Report, dated Sep-
tember 30th, 19801 Ontario's
budgetary deficit had risen
23 per cent in six meths. The
mini-budget of November 13.
1980, pushed net cash re-
quirements to $1,059 billion,
an increase of 81 per cent
over the final result-S.' for
1979/80. Interest on the

rates the-saine: RaIpN Barrie.
President of the OFA,:,tays
the govern-
ment's $20 million subsidy
program for rural bydro only-
saves rural users $3.00 per
Month off their bills.
Rural users pay 29 pet cent
more for their hydro than
urban users and that figure is
expected to increase.' •
Ootd Yohn, office Manager
for Clinton Hydro, says rural
rates are higher than urban
rates because the costs are
higher. More hydro lines;
lightning "arrestors; and -
transformers " are needed.
Gerry 'Fortune, president
of the, Huron County Federa-
tion of Agriculture, says that.
"We are paying for the cost

No other methods has 'been devised to increase herd

imposed on all dairymen-.
• The milk Marketing boar-a-is sptmnaginore than $6

Yet, all this. money could be spent in vain if producers
