T-A photo Expect increase in exports of Ontario winter wheat Yield increase rnineera.ntiosnawarning at t production may lead to problems for Ontario producers, delegates to the annual meeting of the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board were told. Fergus Young, chairman of the board, said storage and tran- sportation systems now in uses may be inadequate in the near yfuietiudsre because of increased "In other parts of the world, yields as high as 100 bushels per acre are being experienced,"he said. "I have reason .to believe we may.eventually see similar yields in Ontario. "Unless new products are developed which would increase domestic human consumption, this potential yield increase means warning signs to me." Mr. Young also commented on current wheat prices of $4,50 to $5 a bushel, saying, "these prices may be satisfactory today but unless some provisions are made to keep prices in line with in- creasing costs, they will not be satisfactory for long," Mr. Young also said the board will have to keep close watch on any government programs in- cluding the two-price Wheat Act, which he said may already be out of date. The two-price legislation is a system under which wheat is pegged at $3.25 a bushel by the government for internal sale:. with a subsidy paid to producers to meet international prices. Earlier fears of a price decline for the 1975-76 crop have disap- peared or at least declined considerably due to wet weather and cold temperatures in- ternationally coupled with large purchases by foreign countries, he said. The Ontario Wheat Producer's Marketing Board may be ex- pected to export increasing amounts of wheat if recent trends continue. Board chairman Mr, Fergus Young RR 1 Ennismore told representatives attending the 17th annual meeting of Ontario wheat producers held in Sarnia September 29th that last year the board exported a record 10.3 million bushels out of a 19 million bushel crop, and that this year possibly 13 to 14 million bushels will have to be exported out of an estimated 211/2 million bushel crop. He said the largest volume exported by the board prior to entry into the new pooling system °mired in 1972 when 6.2 million bushels were exported out of a 15,8 million bushel crop. In 1973, the first year under the pooling program, the board exported 4.5 million bushels out of 14,8 million bushel crop produced. Mr. Young said if producers continue to seed similar acrages to the provincial total of 455,000 last year, and if research con- tinues to increase yield through better varieties and cropping practices, some serious forward planning must take place to provide for the crop. He said yields this year averaged 50 bushels per, acre, the Corn testers are accurate 11,4' When Cliff Russell deliver$OVfuel, ou "never, r ,r; ° have to worry'khat yourftcroace*Iptst o oil.

Mr. Young said that if an average of 60 bushels per acre was reached in the near future, it would'mean a production of 27 to 28 million bushels at today's acreage figures, The board official pointed out that unless new products are developed which would increase domestic human consumption to a larger volume than the present 7 to 8 million bushel level used annually, it means warning signs are up. He also said it means the present storage and trans- portation system may be grossly inadequate for future needs. A similar view was also ex- pressed by the board's acting marketing manager, Mr. Stuart Shaw, in a review of 1975 crop movement and storage problems. He said that to date 37 boats have been chartered to move about 19, million bushels sold by producers into deep water ter- minal storage to allow country elevatprs to have room for soy*n and corn crops being harvested this fall. - „ e Of the,olveNn:tery30 ..y4rx producers to dhIeTtee maiketing board has sold approximately 11 minion bushels for export movement mainly during the months of October and November. Mr. Shaw said difficulties in obtaining usual long-term storage for much smaller amounts has resulted in the board moving wheat into Georgian Bay and Halifax ter- minal storage for the first time, as well as utillizing such ter- minals as those located at Sarnia, Walkerville, Port Stanley, Port Colborne; Kingston, Prescott and Montreal. New researcher at Stewart's John A. Stewart president Stewart Seeds Limited an- mounces that C. G. (Glenn) Mortimore has joined the Stewart team. Mr. Mortimore has been the Corn Breeder at the Harrow Research Station of Agriculture Canada for 37 years. Mr. Mor- , timore graduated from Guelph with a B.S.A. in 1938 and received his M.S. from Minnesota in 1949. The main emphasis of his t breeding programs has been 'I inbreds and hybrids with out- standing stalk quality and standability. He has also included in his studies the problem of stalk rots as they affect corn plants. Since 1969 Mr. Mortimore has released 8 hybrids plus 40 inbred lines, all of which combine ex- cellent stalk quality with high yield, Mr. Stewart is pleased to an- nounce this appointment and indicates that Mr. Mortimore will be going to New Zealand later in October, to work with the breeding program there this winter. 4 If you're operating an on-the- farm drying system for corn, make sure you are getting ac- curate moisture content readings, warns Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food agricultural engineer, J. K. Weeden. "We know that corn can be stored for a short period of time at 15.5 percent moisture but for long term storage, it should be dried down to 14 percent," he says. "Moisture testers provide producers with the most accurate method of estimating moisture pottyrice of using ,egteIrs cannot be Tin- derestimated; drying down cern from too high a moisturelevel or drying it even a percentage point more than it needs can be costly. "Suppose that the corn is dried to 13 percent instead of 14 per- cent. For a crop of 10,000 bushels, this amounts to removing an extra 630 gallons of water. If corn is selling at $2.70 per bushel, this is a loss of about $213 worth of corn," says Mr. Weeden, In addition to this loss, producers will have the added cost of drying the grain one percentage point further, a costly and unnecessary procedure that wastes energy. Some moisture testers are not accurate at moisture contents above 25 percent or below 13 percent or at temperatures other than room tempera tures, he says. He recommends that a producer check the operating instructions that come with the moisture tester in order to determine if the tester is working in a range in which it will be accurate.
