BE SURE TO MARK THIS DATE THURSDAY, JUNE 11 1:00 to 5:00 and 7:00 to 10:00 • Refreshments • Door Prizes • Everyone Welcome Exeter Farm Equipment "The Best in Farm Machinery" HARRY VAN GERWEN EXETER More than 250 dairy farmers from nine counties in Western Ontario were told Monday to expect a drastic decline in the amount of Ontario dairy producers in the next ten years. George McLaughlin of Beaverton, chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board speaking at the first Western Ontario Dairy Day at Centralia's College of Agricultural Technology said milk -producers now totalling more than 21,000 could be reduced to 8,000 by 1980, all in the pool producing top quality milk. Graham Hooper, a member of the staff at the Centralia College and secretary of the Western Ontario Dairy Committee was in charge of the event and principal James McDonald welcomed everyone to the college facilities. During the noon hour, buses took delegates on a tour of the Veterinary College and diagnostic services laboratory. "Changes are opportunities," said Mr. McLaughlin, "and the producer who sees them as such will continue to be a viable dairyman through the 70s." Indicative of the rapid change in the dairy industry is the demise in the past decade of all Lambton county's six creameries and five of its six dairies. The trend to larger operations is common to processors and producers. The session was sponsored by the milk committees of nine counties — Bruce, Perth, Oxford, Huron, Middlesex, Elgin, Lambton, Kent and Essex — and the Ontario department of agriculture and food. It is the first time the Dairy Day has included dairy farmers from across Western Ontario. In previous years the event has been only for dairymen in Southwestern Ontario, and has been held at Ridgetown. Mr. McLaughlin rejected an inference in a task force report on agriculture that producers in Denmark and The Netherlands are more efficient. "In my opinion, our best industrial milk producers are much more efficient than the best I've seen in either of those countries." Ken McKinnon of Port Elgin, OMMB member specializing in quota policy, detailed the negotiations for creating market-sharing quotas. The object is to avoid waste in subsidizing the export of dairy products -surplus to domestic requirements. Initially, quotas would be transferrable within regions, but Mr. McKinnon emphasized that, ultimately, the dairy industry would be better served by a flexible transfer of market sharing quotas, so that milk would be produced where it iS most economical. Mr. McKinnon also said the OMMB favors freely negotiable Canadian Dairy Commission subsidy eligibility quotas. The current situation contrasts with that of the fluid market; the subsidy eligibility quotas apply to manufacturing milk and can only be obtained when a farmer buys the herd to which they are attached. The Huron County Beef Improvement Association are planning a beef carcass evaluation program. This program will be Kirkton youth senior winner David Marshall, RR 1, Kirkton placed first in the senior division of the Huron County 4-H and Junior Farmer Livestock judging competitions held at the Seaforth arena, Saturday. Marshall was second in overall competitions behind intermediate winner Glenn McNeil, RR 6, Goderich who accumulated 558 points compared to 553 for the Kirkton area youth. A real battle developed in the beef section and the Huron Beef Producers Association award. Five competitors tied for top spot with identical scores of 141 out of a possible 150. The tie was broken by the number of reasons given and the winner was Doug Harding, RR 1, Gorrie. The others in the deadlock were David Marshall, Velma Fear, RR 3, Blyth, Bill Boneschansker, RR 1, Ethel and Karen Brock, RR 1, Granton. Marshall also won the Huron Dairymen toured the veterinary services branch laboratory and viewed displays on producing top quality milk. Also on the program was an address by Milk Foundation of Ontario nutritionist Deborah Hayes of London, who described the educational program which the foundation conducts in schools. Fred McCalla, president of the Canadian Dairy Foods Service Bureau, emphasized the need for continuing a well-financed promotional program to maintain sales of traditional dairy products and "new dairy products such as yogurt and specialty cheeses." Grant Smith, a Burgessville dairy farmer and member of the run in conjunction with the Hensall Spring Show and Calf Club Show. Plans are to have five beef animals of different grades, finish and body conformation on display at the Hensall Show June 12 for live animal evaluation. These cattle will be trucked to Guelph June 12 or 13, and slaughtered June 15. Each carcass will be halved and one half will be cut in saleable cuts wrapped and frozen. The cut carcass evaluation will be held at the new animal science research building at the University of Guelph, June 20. The program on June 20 will be a bus trip to arrive in Guelph at 10:00 a.m., take part in the carcass evaluation program, have a "bring your own" lunch, and visit a beef feedlot on the outskirts of Guelph prior to . returning home. Ron Usborne, Ph.D. of the Meat Science Department, University of Guelph and a government grader will be on hand for the evaluation program. Bus tour tickets will be sold at the Hensall Spring Show June 12 and at the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food office at Clinton. Milk Committee award for the highest score in the dairy section. The runner-up was Brad Roelofson, Exeter. Ontario Milk Marketing Board, outlined the future for Canadian dairy cattle exports. Mr. Smith,' who has recently returned from a trade mission to France, Spain and Portugal, listed the various areas in the world where the market for Canadian dairy cattle can be improved.
