Federal Agriculture Minister
John Wise and Ontario Minister of
Agriculture and Food Jack Riddell
signed the first national tripartite
income stabilization agreement,
Nov. 25.
"Our signatures on this pact
marks what we hope is the
beginning of a new era in
stabilization," Wise said. "This
program is a three-way partner-
ship between our two governments
and cattle, hog and lamb produc-
ers."
Riddell said: "The signing of
tripartite will hopefully bring in
new health to the red meat sector.
It is a further step forward by my
government to bring stability to the
agricultural sector."
Gerhard Schickendanz, presi-
dent of the Ontario Cattlemen's
Association, Tom Smith, chairman
of the Ontario Pork Producers'
Marketing Board, and Tom Red-
path, secretary-manager of the
Ontario Sheep Association were
witnesses to the signing.
The historic signing took place in
the corner office of the East Block
of the Parliament Buildings shortly
after 6 p.m. November 25, 1985
culminating three years of negotia-
tions between the federal govern-
ment, the provinces and producer
groups.
Tripartite income stabilization is
an income assurance plan to
protect producers in times of low
commodity prices. The two levels
of government and the producers
contribute equally to the plan
Producer participation in the
plan is voluntary, but most produc-
ers are expected to take advantage
of the option to join.
Under the program, stabiliza-
tion schemes are established for
hogs, slaughter cattle, feeder
calves and lambs. A scheme for
feeder cattle may be implemented
at a later date.
The plans for hogs, slaughter
cattle and feeder calves take effect
January 1, 1986. The scheme for
lambs goes into effect March 1,
1986.
"All provincial ministers of
agriculture have said that tripartite
stabilization would be a long-term
benefit to Canadian agriculture. It
is a sound and workable method of
protecting producers," Wise said.
"I am not going ahead today
with one partner, but with a first
partner. Indeed, both of us hope
our provincial colleagues will join
with us in signing in the near
future," he said.
Riddell said, "I am particularly
pleased to have had three repre-
sentatives of the producer groups
in our delegation to Ottawa.
"Ontario producers have been
most patient and supportive of my
efforts to bring the tripartite
agreement to a successful conclu-
ion."
The Ontariogovernment and the
federal government have announc-
ed tripartite level payments for
beef cattle and hogs for 1985. For
beef producers these payments
will mean second quarter (April 1
to June 30, 1985) payments of
$22.86 per head for slaughter
cattle; and third quarter payments
(July 1, to Sept. 30,1985) payments
of $79.75. If the payment is based
on pounds gained, the amounts
would be comparable.
Farrow-to-finish hog operators
will receive second quarter pay-
ments of $10.11 and third quarter
payments of $14.31 per hog. After
consultation with the pork produc-
ers, the pork payment will be split
between finisher and sow-weaner
hogs.
Lambs are also part of the
transitional federal-provincial
payment but calculations have not
yet been completed for the third
and fourth quarters.

"Pulse"
means exports
The average Canadian probably
pictures blood being pumped
through the heart when asked the
meaning of the word "pulse".
But to a number of Canadian
growers, "pulse" also means
important cash crops that are rich
in protein, and gaining ground in
the export marketplace.
Canadians are not big eaters of
pulses -- beans, peas and lentils.
Most of the pulses grown in
Canada are exported to countries
where dishes made with these
ingredients fill the same role as
meat does for most North Ameri-
cans.
The pulse sector is one of
Canada's fastest-growing agricul-
ural industries. Total pulse pro-
duction in 1984 in Canada was
about 215,000 tonnes. More than
184,000 tonnes were exported.
earning some $80 million.
