Producers in those two provinces will receive the full rate of subsidy, now $1.25 per 100 pounds of milk, on the basis of their subsidy eligibility quotas. In place of the holdback from subsidy, there will be a levy on the market price paid to producers. The levy rates to March 31, 1971, will be 26 cents per 100 pounds of milk on deliveries by a producer up to his market quota and $2.40 on deliveries in excess of his market quota. These levies will be collected under provincial authority and the funds remitted to the Canadian Dairy Commission for its costs of surplus disposal. The agreement also applies to cream shippers in Quebec. The levy on cream is to be one cent per pound butterfat on deliveries up to market quota and 50.28 cents on deliveries in excess of market quota. Although the agreement now covers only Ontario and Quebec, producer groups in other provinces are working towards entry into a similar program. The present agreement provides for replacement by another which would be open to participation by the appropriate agencies of any province. Agencies signing this aggreement are: The Canadian Dairy Commission, signing on behalf of the Federal Government.

Frances - 316516 (Classified Very Good) owned by A. L, Ostrom, Clinton, Ont. has just been issued a lifetime production certificate by The Canadian Jersey Cattle Club. She has produced 88,160 lbs. milk and 4,194 lbs. fat in 10 lactations. FARM CASH RECEIPTS, JANUARY - SEPTEMBER, DECLINE During the first nine months of 1970, cash receipts from farming operations were an estimated $3,021.8 million, 1.8 percent below the amount realized for the same period of 1969. Declines were recorded in the three Prairie Provinces, down 9.2 percent in Saskatchewan, seven percent in Manitoba and 4.3 percent in Alberta. Greater returns from the sale of potatoes largely accounted for the 25 percent gain recorded in Prince Edward Island and just over 21 percent in New Brunswick. The remaining increases amounted to two percent in Nova Scotia and Quebec and one percent in Ontario. British Columbia remained practically unchanged from a year earlier. Cash returns to producers of livestock and livestock products amounted to $1,965.2 million for January-September 1970, 3.0 percent above the level for the same period a year ago, Much of the livestock increase came from greater value of hog sales as cash receipts from this source rose by $44.7 million to $376.3 million as greatly increased marketings for the nine months more than offset the lower average price. Cash returns for cattle and calves at $718.0 million were up 1.8 percent for the 1970 period. Receipts for dairy prodwAs declined slightly and returns to poultry meat producers increased $6.7 million to $185.2 million for the January-September period of 1970. Only two provinces, Ontario and British Columbia, recorded declines in receipts from livestock and livestock products. Cash receipts from field crops including Wheat Board participation payments and net cash advances on farm stored grain in Western Canada amounted to $992.6 million during the nine months, almost 10 percent below the 1969 total. This represents 32.8 percent of total farm cash receipts compared to 35.3 percent during 1969. Most notable, perhaps, was the increase in farmers' returns from wheat at time of delivery as receipts rose 11 percent to $464.3 million in the January-September 1969 period. Returns to barley producers were up 77 percent at $102.3 million and returns from rapeseed doubled to $59.5 million. Much of the decrease in crop receipts was caused by the large decline in participation payments on the previous year's crop. E.E.C. PIGMEAT PRODUCTION UP Pig numbers started to increase during 1969 in the E.E.C. countries and continued to advance during the first eight months of 1970, even though prices were falling. For the 12 months, June/70 to May/71, the E.E.C. statistical office forecasts a growth rate of 23 percent over the preceding 12-month period. The sharp rise in production evident for some time, is most pronounced in the Netherlands and Belgium. ANNUAL MEETING MONTH AWAY About a month from now, February 8 and 9 to be exact, the 51st Annual Meeting of the Meat Packers Council will be held at the Palliser Hotel, Calgary. Delegates from all segments of the Canadian livestock and meat industry attend the meeting. Besides meat packers and processors from across the country, there will be representatives of livestock producers, consumers, retailers, suppliers, government, educators, marketing, transportation and the news media. All sessions during the two days are open to the public. Almost all speakers have been confirmed, including several from the United States. Topics under discussion are quite wide ranging, covering such items as achieving sound growth in the pork industry; animal agriculture in the 70's; centralized beef distribution; environmental quality; and profit planning, to just mention some. U.S. MEAT EXPORTS DOWN, IMPORTS UP U.S. exports of red meats for the January to October 1970 period totalled 86.2 million pounds, about half the volume exported during the same period in 1969. The most notable decline was in pork exports at 48.3 million pounds compared to 127.5 million pounds a year earlier. One highlight of U.S. livestock and meat exports for the first ten months of 1970 was the recovery of animal fat exports. For the January to October period, animal fat exports were above year earlier levels in every category. For the 10 months, January to October 1970, red meat imports amounted to 1,539.7 million pounds, up from 1,438.6 million for the same period in 1969. Pork imports were 290 million pounds compared to 265 million in 1969. Beef and veal imports reached 1,150 million pounds, up from 1,069 million pounds. WHEAT EXPORTS UP Exports of wheat and wheat flour in terms of wheat from the four major exporting countries during the August to October 1970 period totalled 429.1 million bushels, 56 percent above the total exported during the same period in 1969. Each of the four countries, Canada, Australia, United States and Argentina recorded increases. For Canada, it was the highest level of exports for the three months since 1966. Supplies in the four countries at about November 1, 1970 intended for export and carry over, totalled 3,122.2 million bushels, up seven percent from a year earlier. QUEBEC AID TO SHEEP BREEDERS The Quebec Department of Agriculture has announced an assistance program to aid in improving the health of Sheep flocks, with major emphasis to be placed on internal parasite control. Eligible flock owners will be remunerated for the Veterinarians' charges for three inspections carried out on the farm during a year. These visits will enable co-operating veterinarians to compile statistics on the incidence of diseases and recommended preventive treatments. The Big "0" Drain Tile Company has announced that on Sunday, February 7, 1:00 P,M, two of their field representatives will be featured on Les Armstrong's television farm programme over CKNX Wingham. The representatives from The Big "0" are Mac MacDougall of Kincardine and Fred Elliott of Brecefield. The show will deal with the benefits derived from drainage, plus the financial and technical assistance that is available to farmers.

The agreement brings into effect a market sharing quota system for industrial milk in those two provinces which, together, produce 80 per cent of the Canadian total. It is expected that other provinces will join the plan in the near future. Agriculture Minister H. A. (Bud) Olson termed the signing of the agreement a major milestone in Canadian agricultural history. "I congratulate the provincial marketing agencies and the Canadian Dairy Commission on achieving this agreement," he said, "as well as the farm organizations which have fostered and supported the plan. "It is an example of how a co-ordinated approach by- national and provincial agencies can operate for the benefit of farmers and their industry. "It is our hope that this type of co-operation will be extended to other areas of agriculture through the national marketing bill now before Parliament," the Minister said. The agreement, which took effect on December 1, 1970, establishes a supply management program for milk used in the manufacture of dairy products and is designed to keep production in balance with domestic requirements on a butterfat basis. It applies to all milk used for manufacturing purposes, whether from industrial or fluid milk shippers. Market sharing quotas are based on each producer's deliveries between April 1, 1969, and March 31, 1970, or on his subsidy eligibility quota if that is greater than his deliveries. Each producer will receive a market price related to Canadian price support levels for deliveries up to his market sharing quota. Prices for deliveries over market quota will be related to world prices for surplus dairy products. The Canadian Dairy Commission currently makes a holdback from subsidy payments and uses the money to offset costs in disposing of surplus. Silver Tray Trophy again this year.
