In BC the measures put a freeze on all agricultural land, especially in the Fraser Valley area and land values have plummetted. Farmer's in the area have experienced difficulty in getting loans because their lands have been devalued. Barret has stuck to his proposal despite A PRODUCTIVE COW — One member of the hereford herd of Valentine Becker and sons of Dashwood has done its share over the past four years in upping beef production. Marty Becker is shown with the cow which gave birth to triplets a week ago. In addition to the triplets the cow has given birth to four sets of twins since / November, 1969, T-A photo Beef producers prepared to provide orderly market Premier William Davis has announced that the province will implement sweeping new land Use controls. The new plan is designed to stop increased speculation on valuable farm lands bordering urban areas. The new measures will be used to protect open space and agricultural lands from developers that take these lands and inflate prices to such an extent that farming and recreation become almost un- profitable in view gains to be received by selling, The plan is said to be required because more and more valuable lands are being eaten up by urban sprawl and if no controls are set on use, an acute shortage of agriculture land could happen in the near future. Such a shortage could drive food and commodity prices in an upward spiral that could result in a real crisis. The brunt of the government's new measure will be felt in the Niagara escarpment area and in the area immediately around Toronto, but if measures are taken there it is likely that it will be only a matter of time before similar attention is paid to the lands around cities and towns in this part of the province. The premier said, that for the present, controls will be used to preserve agricultural lands around Metro Toronto and to create a corridor of some millions of acres from Niagara Falls to Tobermory along the part of the province known as the Bruce Trial. The Premier refused to speculate on what effect the new plan would have on lands around the major cities in Essex, Kent, Lambton and Middlesex, but did refer to recent developments in his own riding of Peel. He said lots around Brampton that are on prime agricultural lands are being sold to developers that are selling them for $6,000 to $7,000, The new controls, as yet un- specified, are potentially dangerous issues for the government to deal with because they will cut into the public's own pocketbooks. Recently the government imposed a freeze on lands in the Chatham and Woodstock areas because no controls had come from local authorities. The move is designed to increase local control over land use and restore power to the local communities. In British Columbia, the NDP government of Premier Dave Barret has been under fire in "Ontario beef producers are prepared to keep an orderly supply of cattle moving to market to provide the consumer with high quality beef" said Stewart Brown, Shedden, Ontario, President of the Ontario Beef Improvement Association at a Directors' Meeting of the Association this week. There is no intentional hold back of cattle from the market by beef producers. "We are ex- posing as many cattle to the marketing system as it will absorb at current prices. Uncertainty in the beef processing and merchandizing system caused partly by groups advocating a boycott of beef and to a greater degree by the psychologically charged at- mosphere in the public media has resulted in reduced demand by the system and fewer cattle being purchased by packing plants." The beef processing and merchandizing system is an extremely efficient one and one which simply reflects back through the beef system to the more efficient and working on larger and larger volumes but receiving the same price for my cattle to the point where I was receiving lower and lower returns for my labour, management and capital in- vestment, When this point is reached, individual decisions are made by beef producers to either get out of beef production or reduce the size of their opera ti on. " Current cattle prices will in- sure a continually expanding supply of beef for future years. Lower prices will eventually mean reduced supplies. "Ontario beef producers are ready, willing and able to provide a continuity of supply of high quality beef for Canadian consumers and will do so if given a reasonable return for their efforts," concluded Brown. producer the volume of beef which consumers are willing to purchase at any given price. "This determination by in- dividual consumers which is reflected back through the system ultimately establishes the price for cattle." Farm input costs have risen substantially during the past few years and consequently beef producers cannot be expected to continually raise cattle at prices which existed five or ten years ago. Said Brown, "As an example a new tractor today costs about twice what it did five or six years ago and livestock feed prices have increased from 30 percent to 100 percent during the past year due tobadweather conditions in a large part of North America." Consumers should realize as well that their annual or semi- annual increase in wages is reflected back to me in the form of higher costs for input items such as fertilizer, farm equip- ment, parts, and gasoline. For years I have absorbed these increased costs by becoming New dairy policy said 'bitter pill' Farmers urged to hire students for summer increase,'l'efor it was these organizations that asked for a 60 cent increase. They sold the farmers short again." The NFU policy for milk producers called for $7.00 per cwt. for industrial milk and $8.00 for fluid milk. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111' :=. The new dairy policy an- nounced recently for producersof manufacturing milk was described by Ontario National Farmers' Union Regional Co- ordinator, Blake Sanford, as a "bitter pill for farmers." "It might kwell be compared 4 a birth control pill," he said, 'one that pretty well, assures Canada will continue to have less and less dairy farmers, one of the coun- try's most valuable and essential resources." Mr. Sanford said reports that indicate farmers will pocket up to 60 cents for every hundred pounds of milk are ridiculous and misleading. Farmers will not know exactly what the increase is until they receive the first cheques that apply under the new dairy policy. "They can be assured it won't be 60 cents per cwt., though, and I doubt it will be 40 cents either, even after the 20cent export levy is deducted," he said. Mr. Sanford said the dairy policy falls far short of off-setting increased cost of production that has escalated perhaps more in milk production that any other industry during the past year. "To a large degree," Mr. Sanford said, "farmers can blame the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and the Dairy Farmers of Canada for the paltry 28% NITROGEN LIQUID Farmers Were urged Thursday night to hire students to help on the farm this summer, Larry Dillon, in charge of a special department attached to Canada Manpower, Goderich, to help students get jobs told directors of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture at their regular meeting in Clinton that students are consciencious workers who are not so fussy about the kind of work they have because they need the op- portunity to gain working ex- perience and the money to help them continue their education. He told the group that if they needed a student with a special skill, he would help them find one. He said he has students from 14-24 years of age registered, both from high school and college. The first college students will be ready to work early in May, he said. Director of the Federation also discussed possible changes in the make-up of the Ontario Fderation of Agriculture at the meeting. At present, the constitution of the OFA calls for one director for every 300 Individual Service Members. However, with in- creasing membership in the organization, it either means a director will have to represent more members or more directors will have to be added. (At present there are 100 directors). Jack Stafford, I.S.M. director for north Huron and former president of the HFA felt that a director shouldn't have to represent more than 500 mem- bers if he was to do a good job. He also pointed out that it would be hard to get a concensus of opinion if there were more than 100 directors. Charles Thomas of Grey township felt perhaps the answer was in allowing only a specified number of directors from any one county but giving them a number of votes equal to one vote for every 300 members in their county or region. It was pointed out that Huron, with close to 1500 members would send five directors to OFA if the' present limit was observed. At present only three directors are sent from Huron. ON WHEAT?
