At the same time they agreed to a deduction of 2 cents per bushel minimum to finance sales promotion as part of the proposed new structure. Vanneste said he called the meeting to dispel rumors as to the reason for the sharp drop in turnip prices this year to the present rate of 80/ per bushel. In 1966 the going rate was $1.25. "The shippers were not the bad boys in causing the price drop, but the inroads made on the American market by Quebec growers were responsible," add- ed Vanneste. The Exeter and Lucan area, with a few growers extending as far north as Blyth, produce about one-half of the total turnip production in Ontario. Despite the loss of most of the Boston and New York market to Quebec shippers, the export of Ontario turnips was increased by 180,000 bushel in 1967 but at the lower price. Vanneste told the assembled growers, "because of the Que- bec infiltration of the export market, Ontario growers will have to promote their products in the United States. Based on the amount of turnips; grown in Ontario in 1967, the money tha.t would have been received from the proposed levy would amount to somewhere between $50,000 to $75,000 per year," Special event for farmers Farming Frontiers '68, a new program devoted to the business of farming, will be held in Exeter, February 2.

The program will be held at Exeter Legion Hall on February 2 at 8;00 pre, Administration costs will be kept to about $10,000 as the re- sult of proposed co-operation between turnip and apple grow- ers in using the same office facilities.

Turnip growers meet District turnip growers and shippers attended a meeting at the Exeter Legion Hall Friday to discuss the problem of lower prices for their products this year.

Turnip men want promotion In a quickly organized meet- ing at the Exeter Legion Hall, Friday night, district tur nip growers unanimously approved a plan to promote the sales of their products. Under the chairmanship of Frank Vanneste of Clandeboye, a director of the Ontario Turnip Section of the Fruit and Vege- table Growers' Association, more than 60 growers signed Bond, to further our work. He has the experience and the con- tacts in the advertising and pro- motion field." Ontario is now divided into six areas for the proposed turnip board and three districts have already appointed their provis- ional directors with the balance hoping to be completed in the near future. After district organization is completed, the plan will be drawn up by eight directors plus two members from the shipping trade and representation from the On- tario Farm products Marketing Board. The growers will receive a copy of the proposed marketing plan a month before the vote to decide whether a marketing board will be instituted. More meetings will be held sometime in March to further explain the structure of the pro- posed board to growers with a vote expected in April. A majority of sixty six and two-thirds of the turnip growers voting is necessary to have the marketing board approved. Van- neste told the meeting "we are the largest group of turnip grow- ers in the area and all of us will have to get out and vote in order to have this plan become.a reality."
