The proposal for a new GFO is based on chapter 10 of the Report of the Special Committee on Farm Income -- a fact which brought a loud outcry from Walter Miller, OFU president, who said the union's provincial board had voiced "strong opposition to any plebiscite or vote of the proposed farm income committee's recommendations." Nevertheless, locals in Ashfield and Holmesville met this week and voted to support the new GFO campaign committee as long as farmers have the option to vote on whether marketing boards will have a vote on the new GFO and provided the organization is financed by a compulsory checkoff and has direct voluntary membership. The GFO campaign committee, headed by Mr. Davidson proposes calling a vote in early June on a new farm body based on the special farm income committee report which he helped write.
