College of Agricultural
Technology, Monday June 1,
This is the first time that Dairy

the County Milk Committees of
Bruce, Perth, Oxford, Huron,
Middlesex, Elgin, Lambton,
Kent and Essex in co-operation
with the Ontario Dept. of
Agriculture & Food.
The speakers on this year's
program will be concerned with
marketing aspects of the Dairy
Industry.
(1) Mr, J, Grant Smith —
"Potential Export Markets for
Dairy Cattle",
(2) Mr. K. G. McKinnon —
"The Dairy Farmers of Canada
and Market Sharing Quotas"
(3) Mr, George McLaughlin
— "Milk Marketing Into the
Seventies".
There will be displays by the
Dairy Food Service Bureau and
the Milk Foundation of Ontario
and there will be demonstrations
by the Veterinary Staff of the
College.
Registration fee and lunch is
$2.00 and the program begins at
9:45 a.m. and ends at 3:15 p.m.
Huron Crop Report
Spring seeding is well
advanced in all areas with 90%
completed. Spring seeding is
about half up and looks good.
Corn seeding is well under way
with 30% planted.
Soil is tending to be dry with
showers needed in South Huron.
Canning peas are 50% planted
with early ones up
approximately 2" and looking
excellent.
It will be May 27 before
Ontario's 22,000 wheat
producers know the results of a
vote on a proposed stabilization
levy increase, officials said
Monday.
K. A. Standing,
secretary-manager of the Ontario
Wheat Producers' Marketing
Board, said sealed ballots
collected at county meetings
which began Monday night and
will continue through May 22
will be sent to the Ontario Farm
Products' Marketing Board in
Toronto.
Wheat growers are being
asked to approve an increase
from the present 10 percent of
the negotiated minimum price
for Ontario winter wheat to 17
percent in the stabilization levy
to finance large-scale board
purchases of wheat surplus to
domestic requirements.
Wheat producers in Huron
County will have their
opportunity to vote on the
proposed levy increase at a
meeting tonight, Thursday at the
Central Huron Secondary
School in Clinton.
A general meeting will begin
at eight o'clock when the issues
will be presented and a question
and answer period held.
Later in the evening, all
wheat producers in the county
will be asked to register and will
then be given a ballot to cast
their vote.
Russell Bolton -of Seaforth, a
zone director of the Ontario
Wheat Producers' Marketing
Board will be in attendance.
Registering and voting will be
supervised by Huron's
Agricultural Representative Don
Pullen, his assistant Mike Miller
and others from the Department
office in Clinton.
There are slightly more than
200 recognized wheat producers
in the County of Huron.
While the levy maximum
could reach 30 cents per bushel,
board chairman M. R.
McDougall said the board would
not necessarily set the levy at
the full amount approved by
producers and would be subject
to rebate as in the past.
Mr. McDougall, of Blenheim
said May 1 that the decision to
call a vote on the issue followed
"intensive studies of financial
requirements for the board's
purchase and sales operations in
handling the 1970 crop of
winter wheat."
The present stabilization levy
of 17 cents per bushel is based
on 10 percent of the negotiated
minimum price he said.
Producers will be asked to
support a levy based on a
maximum of 17 percent, or a 13
cents per bushel increase.
Deducted from producer
sales, the levy is pooled as a
stabilization fund and used
exclusively for paying lo'sses
sustained by the marketing
board in handling and selling
excess production into
secondary markets at lower
prices than the domestic flour
and cereal markets.
Further explaining the need
for an increase in levy, he noted
that domestic flour milling and
cereal manufacturing
requirements amount to about 9
million bushels annually and any
volume sold by producers in
excess of that amount has had to
be sold in either export or feed
markets by the marketing board.
Winter wheat export price has
dropped 36 cents per bushel
since 1966, with present level at
$1.60 per bushel for grade No. 1
and 2 at Montreal he explained,
which means a net at the farm of
$1.23 per bushel if the export
price controlled the price to the
producers.
Mr. McDougall pointed out
that Ontario winter wheat must
now compete with other feed
grains such as Ontario corn,
western grain and imported
corn, all priced lower than
winter wheat.
These three factors,
particularly lower export prices
have increased the board's
marketing costs that point
"where present levy is
inadequate" he said ... the
board must purchase wheat at
the minimum negotiated price
and absorb the dealer handling
charge; freight and elevation to
terminal storage; storage and
interest plus loss on export or
feed price, he explained.
Projections show losses could
exceed $1.5 million, based on
expected board purchase for the
1970 crop and the usual volume
sold by producers, he said.
Calculating estimates on
372,000 acres of winter wheat
seeded last fall, the board
expects production of some 14.8
million bushels with 12.5 million
being sold by producers. The
marketing board expects to
handle 4 million bushels of the
volume to be producer-sold.
Last year's production
totalled 14.3 million bushels
with slightly more than 11

Huron producers voting this week
on proposed wheat levy increase
million bushels sold by
producers to date and board
purchases totalling 3.2 million
bushels at the present time.
The board chairman said that
losses would have been much
higher except for the fact 3
million bushels of last year's
purchases were low-grade
sprouted wheat bought at $1.35
instead of top grade price of
$1.82.
Plans are currently underway
to conduct 35 county meetings
between May 11 and 21 which
will be attended by producers
and vote will be taken by secret
ballot on the issue. He said all
producers will receive notices in
the mail of the meetings in the
next few days.
