Middlesex farm report Today I'm going to talk about the new Dairy Policy Ammon. cement and how INIFIP Loan recipients are going to fit in with the policy. As all dairymen know, Market Share Quota for 1976-77 has been reduced by 15 percent in Ontario and the price of both pool I quota and M.S.Q. has been frozen. Pool I quota sells for $16.00 per pound and M.S.Q. for 11/2 c per pound, I know that the Ontario Milk Marketing Board fieldmen have been swamped with calls from farmers farmers who want to buy Market Share quota. This shows a bit of panic on the farmers part and think if you realize that there is a limit to the amount of IVLS.Q. available, you will see that not everyone can get what they want. The over-qUota levy of $8,00 simply states that dairymen will have to pay to have excess milk removed from the farm. It is very foolish for anyone to put them- BRIDGET WRAIGHT (centre) enjoys seeing the sights from the back of a bicycle driven by brother Sean.

Romaniuk selves in this position. Everyone should take a long look at their own situation and make a rational decision, The majority of farmers will probably have to cull cows and this certainly won't hurt your pocket book as it may be costing you to keep these cows now. Do not plan on reducing the average production per cow as some people have suggested. Simply get rid of the cows that aren't producing. The reason you should do some planning before making your decision is that the over-quota levy of $8,60 doesn't take effect until you have produced more than your M.S.Q. and this may not occur until this fall or winter except for producers who were new to the business or expanded in 1975. Them is one thing made perfectly clear and that is you are almost forced to keep production within the set limits if you want to make a dollar. A concession has been made for IMPIP Loan recipients whose anniversary date will fall in this dairy year. As you know, an increased production requirement must be met in the second to fifth year of the loan in order to get the rebate. For the dairy year 1976-77, this requirement has been reduced by 15 percent to go along with the Federal Government an- nouncement, Lets' take an example of a farmer who has to increase production by 100,000 lbs. in order to get a full rebate. This year his requirement will be dropped by 15 percent to 85,000 lbs. Keep in mind that this ap- plies only for the present dairy year. I think the main point right now is to take a look at your alter- natives keeping in mind that there is a limit to the amount of quota available and that everyone must play their part in relieving the present situation.

T-A photo by Sharon Specht 5,420 PEOPLE PAY TO READ IT, AND THAT'S IMPORTANT Retailers are not in the habit of spending hard- earned dollars on advertising for the fun of it or because they think we're nice guys down at the Times-Advocate. They want to use their adver- tising as an investment in future sales, an in- vestment that will pay off at their own cash registers. It is this reason that makes the Times- Advocate the wisest place to make that impor- tant investment because you know your adver- tisement will be read and accepted by the vast majority of potential customers living in this trading area. People ask us how we can guarantee high readership of advertising? The answer is simple . . people pay us for our paper because it is a welcome guest in their home every week and when you pay for something you're more inclined to use it. At the Times-Advocate you can count on each and every paper we sell being used and that means your sales message stands a very good chance of bringing people to your establishment. The Times-Advocate could easily put out 10,000 papers a week and dump them into every home for miles and miles ( they'd have to be miles and miles away because we already reach most of the homes in this area) but what guarantee could we give our advertisers that these extra copies would be used. And believe it . .. unless advertising is read and accepted, it's wasting your money. WHY DOES THE TIMES..ADVOCATE GIVE YOU THE BEST ADVERTISING VALUE FOR YOUR INVESTMENT?
