(Citizens-News photo) News o Constance Agricultural Tidbits WITH ADRIAN VOS "The breed of farmer who figured it was his God-given responsibility to produce food regardless of income, is • rapidly disappearing." George McLaughlin of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. • * * Farm input cost is, up by 20.2 per cent while food cost is up 18 per cent says Statistics Canada, So anyone who thinks that the farmer is getting rich off the poor consumer will do good to look at those figures. * * * "Canadian society is exploited by fandspeculators. Price of building lots is out of sight because of the greed of people with capital, who jack up the prices, Farm organizations must do all in their power to defend the land," says'Bruce McCall, manager of the Brussels stockyards. • * * Beef is a great family food value. And that .valueI3 real .yardstick is cost per serving, not cost per pound. It's sur- prising to learn, for example, that one pound of ground beef for stew yields two or three times as many servings as short ribs. From the. US National Beef Industry Council.. * * * The money spent by farmers pumps billions of dollars into the economy each,year. Farmers make up only five per cent of the population but they create nearly 20 per cent of the market for, basic industries. When farm equipment labourers for example, win a pay increase, that additional cost is felt back on the farm. * * * Each year a large group of farm boys and girls gradulite from rural high schools and moves on to provide educated, well motivated workers for industry and business. It costs the farm community economy more than $20,000 to feed, clothe and educate each high school graduate. That invest- ment becomes a contribution to urban productivity.
