Board chairman, Fergus Young, R.R. 1, Ennismore, ad- vised that two different payments were being made. The first, he said, is a 10 cent per bushel Marketing Board rebate to producers on wheat they sold during the 1972 crop year. An explanation of that payment accompanies the cheque and states, "The 1972 crop wheat cheque from the marketing board is a rebate on the 16 cent per bushel stabilization levy paid by producers on wheat they sold during the crop year July 1st, 1972 to June 30th, 1973." "Total producer sales for the 1972 crop amounted to 14,778,429 bushels. The board purchased and sold 6.2 million bushels of that total. Money left for rebate after marketing costs were paid amounted to 10 cents per bushel. This rebate closes out the 1972 crop stabilization account of the marketing board." The cheques to some 17,000 producers were mailed during the past Week, according to the board chairman. The second payment, Mr. Young said, involves the 1973 crop and is an interim payment of 50 cents per bushel "for wheat sold by producers during the three month period between July 1, 1973 and September 30th, 1973". An accompanying ex- planation with that payment further states, "The interim payment at 50 cents per bushel applies to all wheat sold during the three month period on which the initial payment of $1.51 per bushel had been paid." "Final payment amount which is not -known at this time will be made after the 1973 crop year end June 30th, 1974." The interim payment cheques to those producers involved are expected to be mailed this week. Mr, Young further advised that necessary records have been forwarded by the marketing board to the federal government for its use in making up cheques for the two price subsidy payment to be made by the federal govern- ment to Ontario wheat producers for wheat they sold during the 1971-72 and 1972-73 crop years. Mr. Young said that it is hoped the federal government would be making an announ- cement concerning the two price payment in the near future.
