Others addressing the meeting were Blake Sanford, Essex County and Jerry Huzevka, Lambton. Mr. Myers said, "As an individual, the fanner has little bargaining power. The firms he buys from ask a price for the goods they sell and those who buy his product tell him how much they are willing to pay. Both need him to stay in business." "The farmer is a price cutter of his own product, He is in competition with every other farmer. Other businesses are organized and set their prices. They know competition destroys profit," added the guest speaker.

Over 100 townships and county councils had endorsed the brief which called for the removal of education Lookout 70's is the general theme for the 1970 Farm Show that will be held at the Western Fairgrounds in London, March 3, 4, 5 and 6.
