Shown above are Joe Miller, Robert Allan, Philip Durand and John Hazlett. Citizens News Photo 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.
