BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE MITCHELL: Of two resolu- tions presented to the Perth County Federation of Agri- culture regarding 'the 1981 bean harvest, one was passed while after further discussion the second was lost. Director Bill Osborif Monk:ton' presented the two resolutions, which he and two other bean producers drift- ' ed. All three producers are OFA members. The resolution that was carried stated that the Ontar- io Bean Producers' Market- ing Board should reimburse the S75 discount to the farmers that were discounted so that all are treated fairly." Ina discussion period prior to the approval of the first resolution, one farther' said, "let the bean producers clean up their own act." The resolution was presen- ted because the three bean producers that drafted the resolution, said the OBPMB did not enforce its regulation that a $75 per' metric tonne toter discount ht discounted from all beans that did not meet \the number one Canada White Pea Bean standard. The Perth County Federa- 4tion of Agriculture hosted meeting on Oct. 1 at which time bean producers, retail- ers and members of the OBPM11 discussed the situa- tion with beans. The second, resolution. which was lost, stated, "That the Perth County Federation of Agriculture ask the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to In his report, Mr. Green stated the farmers are being punished for their efficiency, while "in general" unions are not putting out in produc- tion for what they receive in wages. He suggested the governmeAt promote effi- cient industries in Canada. Another solution Mr.'' Green suggested is to provide the Farmers with an interest, rate subsidy on a short term basis. "I feel the government can afford it," Mr. Green said. Tuckersmith Unit 1 met Monday evening Oct, 12. Mrs. John Broadfoot assisted by Mrs. Jobb Henderson 'in the absence of Mrs. Lince took Devotions.
