If there is I haven’t found it, As far as putting tractors on the highway lis concerned’, it is about the least 'inconvenient thing the farmer can do. Would the consumer be hap pier if farmers' closed shop Fri day, Saturday, and Sunday for the Daminon Day Holiday and didn’t -bother ;to ship any milk for three days? Would the con sumer prefer that farmers would 'refrain from shipping out hogs and -cattle while -they took the minimum two'weeks holi day that other industries feel is their right? * Would the consumers, who are largely employees of cor porations, prefer that farmers go on a -buying strike, which they could do, for a' couple of months; no purchases of cars, farm equipment or repairs? They could 1d!o it if all farmers would co-operate completely. Perhaps my -car breaks down, I borrow my neighbours. His tractor breaks -down s'o I lend him mline, and so on. Actually we could get by with a lot lesis equipment if we were willing to co-operate completely. At times We might lose a few loads o<f hay dr a few bushels, of grain but surpluses have never made farming profitable. 'But this would require 100% co-oper ation -and past experience has taught us that 'this is (impossible with humans. I am quite convinced that the powers that be and the OFA are , not really concerned seri ously about farmer-consumer relations. The real fear is that this “tractor strike” just may be e^Qtiyer It is bringing to tiie attention of the public thrit the farmer is not shading in. thenn- creas'ed ■ prices to the consumer and that the financial position of the farmers is serious. Perhaps tiie most frightening of to those in high places is the fact that the tractor strike doesn’t require 100% participa tion by farmers; 25% participa tion could easily tie our ti'ans- portata'on systems in knots, and this is possible! Farm organizations, market ing boards and Co-operatives have been, in operation for a long, long time but dulling their many years of existence the farmers’ position in our econ omy has continued to deterior ate. I can’-t bring myself to ap prove of the principle of strike action, farm or otherwise, btrt there doesn’t seem ‘to be any -alternative. It’s worth a try.
