Mr.. Fergus Young, R. 1, Ertnienlote, chairmen of the marketing board released the statement as follows: "The Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board has established the price of 103 seed wheat sold by the board to seed dealers at $3.1e, per bushel, "The price of $3.18 applies to wheat to be used in the domestic seed market and is a flee(' price until September 30th, 1973," Mr. Young said dealers are entitled to add the usual allowances for premiums and processing to the established price of $3,18. This means that producers purchasing seed wheat should satisfy themselves that the dif- ference between the $3.18 and the price being asked by the dealer is not inflated at unrealistic levels. The board chairman ex- plained that in previous years, seed has sold at about .$1.50 over the price of milling wheat and the board of directors feel producers should not be charged unrealistic prices because of unusual current market conditions.
