Huron budg
BY HENRY HESS
Huron County Council last week voted'
approval of a 1981 budget calling for
spending of $10.7 million.
This is up by 7.5 per cent over the 1980
budget, though it is some $30..00(1 under
actual spending last year. when the county
overshot its. budget by more than half .1

Bill Hanly. county clerk-treasurer and
adminstrator. explained thelarge increase in
apportionment can be traced directly to the
overspending.
Whereas the county started last year w nh
a $253,538 surplus. it finished with a deficit
of $504,150. In addition $305.000 from
highway reserves was used to reduce the' oughls ha

had their fill of classroom
learning. And since dad's
been complaining about the
work load on the farm they
volunteer to stay home and

For the past four years the
Waterloo Region holstein

of,„she Ontario Ministry of

cooperated in sponsoring a
2-day farm management tour
for ten young Waterloo Hol-

The Waterloo Holstein

financing required for the
project. and assists in selec-

The Ministry of Agricul-

The program consists of
visits to ten dairy farms over

The flak has only just begun. Unless supply-manage-
ment marketiog boards come to grips with this thorny
problem of quota values, the flak will get unbearable.
The Christian Farmers Federation of 'Ontario has come
to the conclusion that, in the dairy businesi,, at current
quota values, a dairyman's quota equity is- approximately
equal to 15 per cent of his total equity. a broiler producer 's
equity in quota .value is 25 per cent of total equity and an
:e egg producer's quota is worth 50 per cent,of his equity.
Milk quota prices declined in the exchange,w9nitored by •
the Ontario. Milk Marketing Board this month. fluid milk-
quota prices dropped--dropped!-- to 595.05 a litre • from.
more. than $100 a litre two 'months ago.
. If quota values: are about 1-S per cent'oleit.uity in the
dairy industry. why in Carnation are the values so much
higher for broilers and eggs? it seems to me something is
wrong in the system when quotas become so valuable that
the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
The more junior boards such as the egg board and
chicken board could take some lessons from the milk board
which always seems to be a step or two ahead of the
others, 'Perhaps that is because they have been in
operation longer but it also may be because the milk board
has managed to elect and hire the best people for their
jobs.'
Even so, i believe the price of quota. even for milk. is too
high.
There is no way-that such high prices cannot be reflected ..... .
in the final price of the product. Marketing board
managers will deny it and show'you figures to prove it but
the cost, the value, of quota is simply too high to have such
statements hold water.
Farmers were forewarned at, the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture's annual marreting seminar. The Econontie
Council of Canada is going to get some recommendations
to do something about quota values. A special committee
of the ECC will be suggesting that quota values are really
ripping off consumers.,
I'm not convinced this is true but the agricultural
community is going to have to convince this whole country
that it isn't true. I do have some reser-CO-lions. though. and
only solution I see is to have another regulatory body
.Inatinting all 'quota transfers.
I know. tknow. Who needs another regulatory both?
Who needs' more interference from senior levels of
government?
I think supply management marketing boards do if only
to prove that justice is not only done but is seen lobe done.
When the value of quotas gets so far out of what+ that
those selling out their buiiness get the greatest benefit.
something has to be done.
An administrative body to supervise the sale and
transfer of quotas seems to me to be. the only only sensible
answer. Quotas could still transfer freely within fartilties.
A "bank" of quota could be left with the regulatory body
each year and be given to those who apply for it when they
can prove gains in productivity and efficient management,
The regulatory body could also allot quotas for those
wishing to become new producers.
Stititids tike big, job. "jou would need Solomon as
chairman? or even someone who wants to play God?
For a while, the screaming and yelling would be heard
across Canada. The Weeping and wailing and gnashing of
teeth would be awesome to behold.
But something has to be done. If you have a better idea.
_get' ittn paper and tell the powers that be about it. Farm
'people have been struggling with the problem for many
months but no one seems, to, be seeing any light at the end
of the Wand vet.
