This average, which was for 1961, was the highest recorded in Ontario. He also reported that 7.3 cents of the nine cent market- ing levy was refunded to pro- ducers in September of 1962. However, he noted that some people had not received cheques as yet, and urged them to not- ify the Ontario Wheat Pro- ducers office in Chatham. Another speaker at the ses- sion was Roy Coulter, Halton County, president of the On- tario Wheat Producers, and he reported the board purchased close to 900,000 bushels of the 1962 crop and still have 325,000 bushels on hand. He pointed out that the Com- mon Market discussions were detrimental to export sales, but reported the export market is, now brighter and price will be the important factor in dispos- ing of the stock on hand. Noting the foreign trade mis- sions coming to Ottawa in the near future, he said represent- atives of the Ontario Wheat Board would be on hand to sell their wheat. Coulter told the members that during the year, the Wheat Board had been able to get a reduction from 52 cents to 33 Review History, -Events ,of Past Year, Display Old Books at .Anburn.

He also noted the Board is requesting that they be given the right to issue dealer licen- ces through amendments to the Marketing Act. While he reported export sales of wheat were down, domestic demands for both feed and mil- ling wheat were up consider- ably. Coulter was asked what price the wheat producers would re- ceive without the marketing board and replied that the price would then be set on the basis of the export market at Mont- real, which is currently $1.67 per bushel. The growers would receive this $1.67, less freight and han ling charges of 43 cents, which would leave a net of $1.24. In comparison to this, pro- ducers are now receiving $1.90 per bushel less the 10 cent de- duction, with the prospect of at least a five cent rebate, which would mean a net of $1.85.
