HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1973-02-15, Page 10By Mr*. C.A. 'Trott ' Registered hog producers in Huron County Wednesday (Feb. 7) afternoon voted in favour of a proposal to license pork producers across the province. The vote carried by a vote of 70 in favour to 37 against., or 65.4%. Ballots were cast at the annual meeting m the legion hall, Clinton, of the Huron County Pork ProdUcara Association, The proposal of licensing of producers with a fee originated in Huron County one year ago, when at the association's 1972 annual meeting a resolution requested the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board to study its feasability. Bill Belderback, of Putnam, an executive director on the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board, said following the Clinton meeting that so far, only one of 17 court, ties which has voted on the proposal has turned it down. That was Perth which leads the province in hog production. Although Huron rates third highest in production, it has 2200 producers, the highest of any county in Ontario, Producers in each of 15 coun- ties gave a 70% approval. Within the next few weeks, the remaining 25 counties in On- tario will have the opportunity to cast ballOts. If the vote is carried across the province (a simple majority would carry it) the proposal-- which is strictly a producer one-- is open for discussion and for amendments. It will be required to come back again to the producer for final approval before it is properly legislated. As it now stands, the license fee, renewable each year, would be $10 which would be deduc- ted from the first shipment Of hogs settlement. If the licensee ships 25 hogs or less in a year, application may be made to the OPPMB through the county association for a refund. The executive director told the meeting that- "It's a tiny first step to identify farmers, and to give them a legitimate voice". Huron County's zone director on the OPPMB, Jim McGregor, R.R. 2 Kippen, explained that if the smaller producer wished to opt out, he would be renoun- cing all board services except the marketing of hogs. "He Would 'no lOriier have a vtiiCe." Weiwatl'd&J The meeting was told by Mr. Belderback that licensing. would clean up the computer tapes in Toronto which at the present has 39,921 producers' names listed, and that 19,251 of them did not ship a single hog last year. Many of the 13,251 names are duplicates probably fearful of quotas being imposed. The OPPMB is set up under a specific classification of the Ontario Farm Products Marketing act and as such can not, without a producer opinion vote, impose quotas, Belderback told the more than 100 producers who atten- ded the meeting that it cost $10,000 a year to keep running extra names into the computer, names of farmers who ship lit- tle or nothing, He' added that it is the big producer who is paying for the extra cost. "If the computer tapes can be cleared up, then we might be able to come up with a valid list of the province's pork producers", he explained. Under the proposal as it now stands, the weanling producer may become licensed by an ap- plication made to the board through the .county association accompanied by the $10 fee; the license fee will pay for services such as the Market Place newspaper, county grants, meetings, representation and private information for com- puter files; the service charge per hog of 60c will pay for marketing and pork promotion and will be reduced by the amount received in license fees (approximately one eighth of 1% ). The total money represen- ted by the license fee and the service charge combined will be less than at present,-a board estimate is a saving of $10,000 annually by reason of reduced registration that cannot be traced in the present files. Directors re-elected were James Williamson, R.R. 4 Walton, as president, and Eric Moore, R.R. 4 Goderich as vice-president. Lloyd Stewart, H.R. 1 Clinton, was re- appointed secretary-treasurer. The annual meeting which was chaired by Mr, Moore, saw the election of Don Geiger as the Hay Township director, and of Harry Sheppard as the Stephen Township director. They will. replace Lionel Wilder and Ken Baker„ who were retirini.
