The annual meeting for Huron County of the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board was held in the Hensall arena on November 27. Between *160-175 bean-growing farm- ers attended. Anson McKinley. RR1, Zurich was unanimously acclaimed meeting chairman and guided the agenda through from adoption to adjournment with his usual competence. A film produced and spon- sored by the Board; "The Baked Bean Story", was shown. This well-made little movie. intended for showing in Canadian schools, gives the history of the bean from Babylonian times when it was the soldier's. staple diet, through the Roinan era when that ancient people not only ate the humble legume but used it for casting votes and gambling (which may or may not have been synonymous) to the present time. The caieftilliindling, grad- ing. sorting and sifting that puts Only top quality beans into the cans is stressed, as well as the perfect blend of sun and rain needed to grow this capricious but rewarding 'crop. A film for export promotion with emphasis on British tanneries, and a French translation, have been made' to promote the versatile bean in other countries. Reporting on the past year, chairman Gordon Hill, RR1 Varna, said the export pat- tern of buying changed sub- stantially in 1980 with major sales made to countries like Cuba, Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, with much lower volume to the UK and Europe, which had been • considered our major mar- kets. Hill said this year the Board was able to negotiate that the bonus formula would be based on the cost of production developed by the Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food; this year the bonus will be 6% over the OMAF formula of $505 per tonne. Storage costs moved from .116 to .125 per day; there was a change in the shrink allowance' from % to 'A of 1%; handling charges On No. is increased from 79.37 to 83.75 per tonne, No. 2s and 3s from 73.85 to 77.90 and others from 60.63 to 63;95. - • Regarding the litigation that arose from the ,sale of the 10'77 crop, the mills of the gods are still grinding very slowly, impeded- by court postponements, backlogs and appeals. Two new satellite dealers. Maple+ Leaf Mills, new owners of the Master Feeds Greenway plant at Parkhill, and Topnotch Feeds in Milverton were approved to handle the 1981 crop. A new Comprehensive dealer, Northumberland Seeds Inc. of -RR2 Baltimore.. was ap- pointed. "All In-Al, this has been the best year to date for white bean growers," Hill con- cluded. Charles Broadwell, mana- ger of the Ontario Bean' Producers', Marketing Board,' stated that before harvest begin this year the Board knew the yield would be. down. Seventy-four percent of the total expected inven- tory of 1,300.0004.4001000 bags has been sold. "To put this" inperspective, last year we had 1,500,000 bags •and only sold less than 30,000 at. over $37", Broad- well said. "This year the total crop has gone over $37.50." The current price is S43 export. S44 domestic. but the market is softening, he warn- ed. This year only the UK is. interested 'in Canadian beans; no beans have gone to Cuba, and Bulgaria likes"' -neither the quality nor the price. Softie former foreign buyers will not can beans-this year. Huron director Bob Allan said research is paying divi- dends; with continual cash cropping, better plants must be. developed. He advised' growers to order seed early, especially foundation Ken- wood. Joe Miller. standards com- mittee, informed the pro- ducers of a new program of sample rnarkcertification of shippers' guaranteed repre- sentative samples of white beans, made mandatory August 1, 1981; submitted samples will be certified based on lot" identification only and each bag will be identified by tag and stencil markings. A change in stan- dard quality grade specifica- tion will reduce the colour 'standard of the extra No. 1. Canada and the No. 1 Canada grades. making the colour of No. 1 and No. 2 grades the same..,eliminating the _cum- bersome previous description and simplifying the grades. The colour' change will prob- ably be implemented. „by August 1982. Research committeeman Bill Whittington reported an increase in financial support from $27,000 to 532,000 to Guelph to cover the increased costs of research into timing of spraying of white mold. Guest speaker Pat Lynch. soil and crop specialist with the Perth OMAF office, is trying to set up an alfalfa exchange to bring together thine who want to grow alfalfa, and those who want , to buy seed. He showed slides of bean rust in local fields, and commented that this year was the worst he's seen, especial- ly in fields where„beans were grown last year. , "Don't grow beans after beans", he said. "Coining a phrase, a good crop rotation . does not mean growing Pio- neer Corn after Cargill corn. Likewise, white beans after kidney beans is not crop rotation either." Nightihade is becoming a problem according to Lynch; during combining the ripe berries leaVe a 'sticky orange residueon the beans. He told of one area grower whose sample was refused at the elevator; the ,farmer came home and plowed under 30 acres of beans-and night- shade. Lasso is a satisfactory control' for nightshade. He added that Sevin is "darn hard.on honeybees`," During question time the litigation question was brought up again. One farmer made the point that some who plowed their crop under in 1977 gormore money through crop insurance' than others who--harvested their beans that year ($42000 from the 1977 is sitting in the bank, and the interentis being used to pay the solicitors handling the litigation.) User fees for satellies, • number of satellites, and elevator drying charges were also discussed. . Phil Durand, RR2, Ziirich, wanted to know what the Board was going to do about voicing an opinion on the proposed hydro route at en- vironmental hearings begin- ning in Stratford in January. Durand maintained that beans are particularly sus- ceptible to air pollution; if the count is 14 parts in' 100million yield could be cut by as much as St).%. "Huron County is one of ,the best agricultural counties in the world". Durand said, "and beans are important." At the clime of the meeting the colour discount question, was raised. Hill was delight- ed. He confessed he had come prepared, and had been. afraid would have .no opportunity to use the docu- ments he had brought, -"I'd hate.to have -the staff go to all this work and then have'no use for it", he joked, and proceeded to read out a history of the colour discount. culled from many Meeting minutes beginning in Febru- ary 1978 and .4,1978 produc- New messenger members welcome The Messenger Group met at the United Church on Monday afternoon and had another very successful meet- ing with Evelyn Elder and Nancy McNab as counsellors.
