We farmers are a lazy lot!
This fact was brought home
to me very forceably on the
Country calendar program of
Sunday, April 11,
Roy Atkinson National
President of the Farmers' Union
was being interviewed and was
explaining the difficulties of the
Western farmer.
He stated that Ogilvie Mills
was building a hog complex that
would send 24,000 hogs per year
to market. This one, the first, I
believe was being built in
Manitoba but the plan was to
build one of these plants every
100 miles across the West. Since
Ogilvie is owned by Labbatts
and apparently has connections
in the processing and retailing
areas it is quite significant that
profit in the production isn't
necessary. In other words an
integrated operation such as this
could easily make its profit on
the feed manufacturing, the
processing of hogs, and the
retailing business and even
operate at a loss in the
production of hogs. Since the
f;'rmer has only production from
which to derive a living he would
soon be forced out of business.
Especially when the farmer has
to compete with the profits of
the Brewery industry,
If farmers weren't so lazy this
little game of big business could
be stopped very promptly by
farmers taking action in either or
both of two directions,
First farmers could take over
the processing and retailing of
what they produce. This isn't a
new idea. In fact it was the
original system.
In early history the farmer
produced, processed and retailed
his product direct to the
consumer and was prosperous. It
has always amazed me to

Prior to the final, officers
mess dinner at CFB Clinton, the
officers posed for this last
official photograph. An officers
mess has been in existence at the
Clinton site since 1941. The
dining room of, the present
officers mess closed April 16
with the lounge facilities closing
on May 30. The final mess
dinner was held on April 1, a
very historic date to the air

of the RCAF in 1924. The wives
of the officers will be holding a
similar dinner on April 16.

remember the large houses and
barns that were on so many of
our farms — built by the
Pioneers on even 50-acre farms,
perhaps half of which was still
uncleared. Comparatively
farming , must have been very
prosperous.
With the growth of cities and
spread of population, processing
and retailing of farm produce
became difficult if not
impossible but what was once
done individually could have
been done co-operatively,
However it was much easier
for farmers to let themselves be
persuaded that we should
specialize on production and
leave processing and retailing to
those who specialized in those
areas. Of court* it was implied
that farmers weren't capable of
handling a business.
Nonsense!
Any farmer, whether he
knows it or not, who is presently
operating in the black, has the
largest investment per man of
any industry and is showing
business ability that would
qualify him for an executive
position in any company I can
think of. He might not have the
technical knowledge but he'd
soon acquire it.
But the farmer is too lazy!
Integration is not the
problem! The whole problem is
where the control lies.
The objective of Fame was to
integrate under farmer
ownership and control. Fame
went along quite successfully
until it was developed to the
point where it was realized that
with farmers owning the
processing plants it would no
longer be necessary to have
profits in that industry_ Farmer
after farmer told us when
purchasing shares that he didn't
care if he never got a divident on
his share. What he wanted was a
return based on what the
consumer was paying for meat.
When this was realized not
only by the packers but by all
food processors and eventually
by all manufacturers that after
all it is the producers of raw
materials that can really control
all industries it was hopeless for
Fame to get ,financing except
from producers themselves.
Somehow it seems awfully easy
to promote a farmer's distrust in
himself.
The second way to put a
quick stop to the Ogilvie
program is for farmers to take
over the sale of grain which they
supposedly have in the Canadian
Wheat (Grain Ed.). Only grain
for export should be purchased.
Any grain produced over this
amount must be fed on the farm
by the farmer. If farmers proved
trustworthy after a few years it
might be possible to allow sale
of grain from one farmer to
another.
That is if we aren't too lazy.
