Farmers shouldn't suffer
from development control
August 2, .197 2 Page 15
While the consumer consumes
food arid land at an increasing
rate each year, the farmer
gambles the changing market
and tries to hold his land in the
face of increased demand for
development space for the urban
areas.
Gordon Hill, president of the
Ontario Federation of
Agricultpre said in an address in
Toronto recently that farmers
should not be made to .suffer
financially because of
development controls.
Mr. Hill said if society is going
to reap the benefits, then farmers
should not be expected to pay all
the costs,
In speaking to the convention of
the ASsoeiation of Municipalities
of Ontario, he said land-use
planning will seriously devalue
farm property located in areas of
prohibited development.
He said the individual farmer
for years has probably faced
higher taxes, higher service costs
and higher prices for land to
expand because of urbanization.
In return, his land has in-
creased in value and society
shouldn't take that value away
from him, Mr. Hill said.
A farmer should he corn-,
pensated for the property value
that is confiscated by society, he
added,
He said he has doubts about the
wisdom of farmers in urging that
the best land be kept for
agriculture.
Why then should farmers insist
their best land have the lowest
value, he asked.
Mr. Hill also said adequate
consideration has not yet been
given by municipalties or the
province to the problems of
livestock and poultry farmers,
Proper planning should set
aside areas where these farmers
can carry on their business
without complaints from neigh-
bors about the odors of their
operation, he said,
And if some animal farms have
to be moved the farmer shouldn't
be the loser, Mr. Hill said.
The association later rejected,
by a narrow margin, a resolution
urging control by municipalities
over the federal' government's
Opportunities for Youth
program,
Under a suggestion from the
City of Cornwall all applications
far such grants would have to be
approved by the municipality
involved and the federal money
for the project would have to be
channeled through the
municipality.
Major Paul Blundy of Sarnia
told delegates he strongly op-
posed the resolution because
municipal councils have enough
to do now with pressure groups
asking "for this and that",

The management and products
at Exeter Dairy Ltd, will change
this weekend,
Clarence "King" McDonald,
announced this week he has
purchased the shares of his two
partners, Lee Learn and Norm
Stanlake, The latter two plan to
retire.
At the same time, he reported
that Exeter Dairy would become
a distributor of Sealtest dairy
products effective September 1.
The changes also include the
operation of Maple Leaf Dairy in
Seaf or th,
In making his announcement,
McDonald said the firm had been
concerned for some time that
they had been unable to provide
customers with a complete dairy
product line in all package sizes
because of the limitations of a
small plant.
For some time now, Exeter
Dairy and Maple Leaf Dairy have
"The recent increase in the
price of fuel will cost Ontario
consumers an extra $5-million in
grocery money," says Frank
Wall, vice-president, Ontario
Federation of Agriculture. Wall
refers to the announcement
Wednesday by the Imperial Oil
Company Limited to increase the
cost of gas and diesel oil by two
cents a gallon and the price of
heating oil by 1.4 cents.
"This added cost is ultimately
passed on the consumer in the
price of food. It cannot be
otherwise."
Farmers spent .$53.5-millionion
fuel for food production in 1970. In
1973, farmers had td pay $60-
million.
"That is an increase of $6.5-
million in just three years. Add
the $2.5-million price increase
announced today. The resulting
hikes in the price of oil and gas
have added an extra $9-million to
the farmers' costs of producing
food in just three years."
Wall notes that increases to the
farmer are multiplied throughout
the food chain, thus doubling the
cost to consumers. "All suppliers
of farm inputs including
machinery, feed and fertilizer,
all use gasoline or diesel fuel. So
do processors, transporters and
wholesalers,
"Farmers are enraged by this
fourth increase since January
1973. How can we possibly hope
that food prices will level off,
been distributing Sealtest
products, such as cottage cheese,
All milk will be brought into the
area already bottled in Sealtest
containers and all sizes, in-
cluding jugs, will be available,
Sealtest dairy products are
processed by Dominion Dairies
Ltd.
In recent years, many small
dairies have dropped their own
production facilities to distribute
those of larger firms.
Exeter Dairy Ltd. was formed
in 1958 with the amalgamation of
the two existing dairies at that
time,
Mr. McDonald and Mr. Learn
had purchased Hatter's Dairy in
1947 and amalgamated with
Highland Hill Dairy, owned by
Mr. Stanlake.
The Stanlake operation had
been started in 1935.
At that time, there were five
when the cost of production
continues to climb at this rate."
"Consumers, the media, and
the opposition parties have
pressured the federal govern-
ment into putting controls on
meat exports. This resulted in a
price drop to farmers. Now, they
must pressure the government to
roll back the farmers' costs or
else the cost-price squeeze will
drive more and more farmers out
of business."

dairies in Exeter and Mr.
Stanlake recalls delivering milk
for the price of eight cents per
quart. During a couple of "price
wars" the price dropped as low
as five cents.
Today the price is 40 cents.
Mr, McDonald also noted that
before milk was pasteurized, the
customers at the end of the
respective routes were able to
buy large quantities at discount
prices.
The dairies attempted to get
what they could for the balance of
their loads because it would only
spoil anyway.
Wheat brings
highest prices
The Ontario Wheat Producers'
Marketing Board has made the
first sale of 1973 crop winter
wheat for export at the highest
price ever received since the
board began operations in 1958.
Mr. K. A. Standing, secretary-
manager of the marketing board
said slightly more than 370,000
bushels were sold at a price over
$4.00 per bushel basis Montreal.
The sale was made to a
traditional customer for im-
mediate shipment according to
the board official.
Mr. Standing also advised that
the marketing board' has taken
possession of a volume in excess
of five million bushels of the 1973
crop to date under the new
agency marketing system.
He said the board has moved
about two million bushels into
export position and the balance is
-moving into domestic con-
sumption positions.
