Mr. Kleiman made his remarks to a large number of area farmers attending an agricultural day at Pineridge Chalet last Wednesday sponsored by Cook's. The total price to Ontario producers for the 1974, crop was $4.26 per bushel; for 1974 $435 per bushel and for 1975, $3.63 1/2 per bushel. Mr. Kleiman informed those present the situation has deteriorated even further for the current crop year. In explaining just how the farmers were paid for 1976 wheat crops, Mr. Kleiman said the initial price paid to producers during the 1976 crop was a basic $2.00 per bushel paid by the agent to the producer when wheat was delivered. The board then reimburses the agent for the money paid to the producer plus the agent handling charge. The wheat is then the property of the board which is responsible for the purchase and sale of all wheat in the province. The remainder of the price per bushel is paid by interim payments to the producer as the wheat is sold. Mr. Kleiman said producers have sold a little more than 22.1 million bushels of the 1976 crop to date and that volume is an all time high since the board was established in 1958. Out of this 22.1 million bushels, about 7,5 million bushels has been sold for domestic human con- sumption,a record 720,000 bushels for seed' and about 11 million bushels has been sold for export leaving just under 3 million bushels unsold at the present time. Mr. Kleiman says the board recognizes the fact the export market accounts for the largest portion of the crop, and efforts are being made to generate continued or new interests overseas. The estimates on seeded acreage of wheat in Ontario last fall show an increase of about 20 percent over the previous year for a total of about 620,000 acres, with a potential for a 29 to 30 million bushel crop this year. Mr. Kleinman informed the meeting the board has embarked on a new export sales promotion brochure and is looking at possible ways to increase domestic human consumption as well. Mr. Kleiman added the Ontario board works closely with the Canadian Wheat Board, but the Canadian board does not contract export sales of Ontario wheat and recent sales that have been an- nounced by the Canadian Wheat Board for sale to China do not include any Ontario wheat. Mr. Kleiman was not the only speaker on the agenda for the meeting at Pineridge. Dr. Ernie Rinebergs of the University of Guelph spoke to the farmers present concerning malting barley and Allan Magrath,Market Analyst of the Ontario Bean Producer's Marketing Board discussed the white bean market. Following lunch, Sean Usher of Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology discussed the corn crop and representatives from several fertilizer companies discussed what's new in chemicals, ENJOY PUPPETS — The No Strings Attached puppet' show was presented Friday morning at the Exeter Nursery School.
