BEAN BOARD DIRECTORS — Four Huron County directors to the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing

White bean price may be '9
problem with discolouring
Members of the Huron Soil and
Crop Improvement Association
were told at their annual banquet
in Auburn Thursday night that
the average price for the 1972
white bean crop could be
somewhat over $9 per bag.
This statement was made by
the guest speaker Charles
Broadwell, manager of the
Ontario Bean Marketing Board.
Broadwell cautioned the
statement was hypothetical and
it was too early to calculate what
the overall average return to the
growers would be.
Growers received a record
average return of $10.53 per bag
for their 1971 crop. Under the
board's agency marketing
system, growers receive an
initial payment of $5.76 per bag
on delivery, then an interim
payment usually in April and a
final payment when the complete
crop is sold.
The final cheque for payment
on the 1971 crop was received by
area growers about a month ago.
The Board manager said the
1971 Ontario crop was the largest
in history with an average yield
of 16.4 hundredweight per acre
bringing a return of $173 for
each acre of beans.
. He ,said this year's,,t.t.ital cr,oR.1
would be even higher than a year
ago because of increased
acreages. This year a total of
126,100 acres of beans were
planted as compared to 94,300
acres in 1971. The average
amount of acres per producer has
risen from 34 to 50 acres.
With a combination of June
frost and extremely wet weather
this fall, an estimated 10 percent
of the white beans in Ontario are
still out in the fields.
Of the 1971 Ontario crop,
Broadwell said 63 percent was
sold to the export market,
Broadwell said while export
sales were good, he was
dissappointed in the lack of
consumer consumption in
Ontario, He said a housewife
preparing dishes of beans twice a
month was considered a heavy
user. Newly printed pamphlets
advertising beans are being
distributed across Canada this
month,
He added, "At one time beans
were shunned as a poor man's
meal, but today they have an
honored place in the world food
basket."
Mr. Broadwell said another
immediate concern of the board
is the Michigan situation where
production is expected to be up
1.5 million bags from last year.
Michigan is Ontario's major
competitor in the export field and
this year both Ontario and
Michigan are faced with moving
increased production.
Speaking at Zurich Tuesday at
one of many district Ontario
Bean Producer meetings,
Broadwell said one of the biggest
challenges facing the industry in
the next few months will be the
sale of more than 20 million
pounds of discoloured beans
which will not make top grade.
Broadwell said, however,
Japan may be interested in the
discolored beans that are grading
No, 2 and No, 3. The large
quantity 'of off-color beans was
the result of wet weather during
harvesting which still isn't
complete.
Mr.' Broadwell said samples of
thy' v'& been sent to
Feeder calf sale
The Central Perth 4-H Feeder
Club is having their first club sale
onDecember8th, 1972 at 1:30 p.m.
at the Brussels Sales Barn at
Brussels. The sale is made up of
20 choice Hereford heifers that
have been fed for the last ten
months by twenty 4-H members.
This is a new beef club that
places the emphasis on feeding a
market animal. This club was
formed one year ago under the
leadership of Richard Eick-
meyer, RR 3, Mitchell, Earl
Ahrens, RR 5, Mitchell, and
Norman Chaffe, RR 5, Mitchell.
The calves will be judged at
10:00 a .m , the morning of the
sale. There is no showmanship
involved in this project and all
emphasis is on the animals.
Japan and there is a good chance
the Japanese "could come back
and take the whole lot." He said
Japan grinds the beans and the
color would make no dif-
ference.
The board is hoping to sell the
beans in 100-pound bags at bet-
ween 25 and 65 cents per hun-
dredweight less than market
prices, depending on grade.
So far, the board has sold
382,075 bags of No. 1 beans on the
domestic market from the 1972
crop and another 592,400 bags in
the export market.
The 1972 crop is estimated at
1,8 million bags, a 2,5 million
increase over the 1971 record of
15.5 million.
Philip Durand of Zurich board
chairman reviewed the year's
activities, including promotion
activities and crop research.
He referred again to Britain's
entry into the European Common
Market which will spell the end of
the four percent preferential
tariff on Ontario beans going into
the U.K. The tariff will be
replaced by a 4,5 percent import
levy.
He said it is most important to
growers that this import levy be
lowered ,and pressure is being
exerted on the Canadian
government to deal with this at
'the next round of GATT (General
Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade).
Mr. Durand said that while
prices by growers over the past
two or three years have been
good, they also create increased
competition. He said the U.K. -
Ontario's major export buyer - is
trying to grow beans; so are
Turkey, Ethiopia and a few U.S.
states.
"This is a disturbing trend," he
said.
Mr.Durand stressed farmers
must do a better job of selling,
suggesting production of many
commodities could double if only
there -was a well planned
marketing program.
Mr. Durand was re-elected a
director of the board for Huron,
along with Robert Allan, Joe
Miller and John Hazlitt.
