G. Thompson St Sons Ltd. ts,4AfrA,CHEI4, A A Times-Advocate, April 20, 1973 Pogo 15 I many attend farm sale There are no skeletons in the closet responsible for the current level of retail beef prices. This illusion was effectively dispelled by a tour of the Ontario Public Stock Yards, Canada Packers, and Dominion Stores Limited by representatives of the consumer media in Ontario. At the request of the Hon. William A. Stewart, Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food, the Ontario Food Council spon- sored the tour. It was followed by a press conference where meat industry spokesmen answered questions about beef prices and profits. Data released to the press by Canada Packers indicated that the company is currently taking a 1111111111 aaaa gi iiiiiii A iiiiiiii loss on its fresh beef operations. Fertilizer • Bulk or Bagged • Custom Mixing Herbicides • Insecticides THAMES VALLEY PRODUCE RUSSELDALE Phone 229-8950 FPr prompt service con tact olooloomo: CW plan banquet Using a grade A2 steer as a cost- price model, the firm revealed that it paid $47542 for a live animal weighing 1,050 pounds. The farmer received $45,25 per cwt for the animal, Other costs Canada Packers absorbed included $1.67 buying and stock pen expense, $24.54 in labour costs, plant expenses, overhead, and selling and delivery charges, and .43 for "condemnation allowance", Thus, the total cost of the dressed carcass, now weighing 598 pounds, was $501.78. When Canada Packers sold this carcass to a retailer, it charged .76 a pound and realized $38.87 from the sale of by-products. The carcass brought $493,35, making an overall loss on that carcass of $8.41, A Canada Packers' spokesman said the firm would be happy if it could make from one-quarter to one-half cent profit per pound on its fresh beef operations. At a Dominion store meat cutting department a typical grade A2 side of beef was broken down into retail cuts, weighed and then priced at current retail prices for each cut. The upshot of this demonstration was that the store made a gross profit of $9,15 from the entire side of beef. Chester Wilcox, supervisor of meat operations for Dominion Stores, suggested that $25,000 per week in gross sales is what it takes to break even in a super- market meat department. Consumer demand for beef is a key factor in determining retail price levels, a number of industry spokesmen said. According to Keith Leckie, of the Meat Packers Council of Canada, Canadians are currently eating about 90 pounds of beef per person per year. This is expected to increase to 100 pounds annually by 1980, he added. Retail mark-ups on pork and poultry are higher than on beef, Chester Wilcox admitted, "but poultry profits are not as high as they were". Summed up Mr. Leckie: "There's been an assumption that somebody's making a big (profit) margin on beef, which is just not true".

Constable Alex Balazs was in charge of the in- vestigation. agency plan would make the board responsible for purchase and sale of the entire crop. The mechanics of the system as related to the actual movement of grain would not change to any great dealers to domestic flour mills and cereal manufacturers, The board contends the agency marketing concept would give producers greater control over their product, including movement and pricing, in both domestic and export markets. Recently, board represen- tatives met with officials of the Ontario Flour Millers' Association, Ontario Grain and Feed Dealers' Association and the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board to discuss various aspects of the agency system. The marketing board hopes the plan can be developed, approved and implemented for the 1973 crop. Producers will be advised of progress. Fergus Young, RR 1, Ennismore, has been named chairman of the marketing board. Russell Rogers, Kingsville, and Irving Kleiman, Simcoe, are vice-chairman and Robert Henry, Blyth, are also executive committee members. Other members of the 12 man board include M.R.
