Ander- Not many atMitchell meeting NFU wants meat authority • BY DEBBIE RANNEY Only a small handful- of farmers gathered at the Upper . Thames Elementary School in Mitchell -Tuesilay nigh, to hear a. National Farmers Union (N.F.U.) pro- posal to set Up a National 'Meat Authority. The meeting was held to discuss supply-management in the re d meat industry. Guestspeaker Ted Strain president bf the N.F.U.. said the group is asking that the federal government bring in a National Meat Authority. "If you had_ a National Meat Authority with corn-. missioners appointed to. have more control over imports and exports. that would 'give immediate relief to current economic difficulties produc- ers are experiencing," Mr. Strain said. Federal legislation would seT up' an 'Alithorify- would handle all red meats-- beef and pork. mutton and lamb and would require leg- islation to control . imports and exports. A commission- er should be appointed to administer the Authority and it should be done as soon as pqssible. he said. This type of Authority would have the power to regUlate impprts and ex- poris. It would also have to have power for supply and management: The purpose of quota is so producers can share the available market he said. and this would mean there would be limits on how much the producers of each' commodity could produce for consumption: Other ways ''to regulate supplies would be by export- ing through the commision or encouraging producers to market animals at a lower weight. a form of supply management over and above quotas. RIGHT ACROSS CANADA In his speech. Mr. Strain pointed out the serious shu%. Lion in the beef and .pork industries and said the prob- lem oc-curs right across Can- ada. "I think it's a little more see ere in Ontario. Out west.° farmers are, losing ifioney too but they have a larger land, bast ..they're just borrowing money to keep going. He talked about the neces- sity of having. an organiza- tion like the N.F.U. with farmers as a group. "We are emitainly losing our political muse!, We need a strong union I ke N. F. U, He said farmers are really feeling a-drop in 'income and tam- year Ontario took one of tai biggest drops, of 29.5 per .cent. Last year farmers brought- in -$15.6 billion Mit also paid out $12.5 billion in operating costs. almost 1.5 billion of that in interest. The purpose of the union he said was to have a strong rural community and the production of food which should serve the national interest. • "We have not supplied enough beef for ou rselves since 1969 as, individuals." he said. Some people. Say the solut- ion to the problems in the beef industry is to get people to eat more beef: but Mr. Strain said even if you're successful in getting people to- eat beef, they're going to eat less pork so then the pork _producers would be in even more trouble. An import bill—his been given second reading in the House of Commons. but Mr. Strain said it doesn't do anything for farmers. "I wouldn't even say it's designed to protect farmers. There's more in the bill to protect the industrial sector. Because of a' confidential- ity clause in the bill, the .public • remains uninformed on what the trade is doing. The bill doesn't inclu de any restriction on live cattle meat or imports. He said the—Beef • Code came into Canada, but all it does is give the illusion of discretionary powers to the Minister of Agriculture. but he's subject to the Ministry of Trade and ComMerce. "!We are not satisfied at all with the bill, because it just leaves the illusion that it's going to control imports.— . .LARGE IMPORTS. He said in the fifSt five months of this, year. more than 87:000 cattle were im ported into Canada and mosi of them into. Ontario. That number was only '55.000 a year ago and 19:000 the year before that. -It's really those imports that are hurting us." "Another thing we should do is look at what's happen- ing. A federal beef inquiry in 1976 found that consumers don't get accurate informat- ion on beef cuts at the treat counter and that marketing information is inaccurate and fragmented. He also, said there was' a serious inequity in the prices producers receive. "Canada. h ae-notprod uced- .sufficient beef to feed itself since 1970." As soon as you talk.about doing something in the beef industry , people think of marketing boards. but Mr. Strain said one of the prob- lems with marketing hoards is that they don't have enough power to do an adequate job and. some of them are strictly promotional and those are doomed to failure. He said a system is needed where the producers of c ar- ious commodities could work with each other, where they're concerned with each other. There were a few members of the audience who couldn't see hoer the mechanics of such a national agency would work but Marie Bright, re- gional director of the N.F.U. told them they weren't committing themselves to anything--that what was be- Continued from page I memorials that are used once or twice a year. but we want one that's used 365 days of the year."
