Guest speaker Jim Mayne, livestock producer, Emerald spoke on the need to establish a national meat authority to counteract the power now controlled by the processing and retailing trade. Claiming that the present buying system had broken down, he said that in 1976 more than 61 percent of all cattle slaughtered were delivered directly to packing plants creating a situation where there was no competition and no bidding. Mayne accused imports of being a major problem to beef producers across the country, revealing that Canada has agreed to import 144.75 million requirements.

It is disgraceful That any government institution should serve imported food MI preference to Ontario food," said' Peter Hannam, President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, presenting OFA's annualbrief to Cabinet today. "We were very pleased," Mr. Hannam said, "that the Speech from the Throne emphasized the importance of eating Ontario food but actions speak louder than words, It's up to the Government to start by setting an example. EDO He claimed that producers need adequate stabilization based on production cost plus, pointing out that the Federal AgriculturalStabilization Act did , not do this. Attempts at stabilization on the provincial level were he said, ",..at best only a small step in the right direction," The local then held elections for officers.'

"I would like to thank them all for the time, assistance and input they provided," concluded Snow. It is no longer necessary for farmers to obtain a special permit to move oversized farm vehicles along a road, if the vehicles are operated according to a new 'regulation effective April 1. In announcing the regulation, Transportation and Com- munications Minister James Snow said that "oversized farm vehicles will be exempt from the weight, width, length and height limits provided in Parts VI and VII of The Highway Traffic Act, "We have had many representations from farm groups on the inconvenience of the old special-permit process. And I am confident the new regulation will prove to be far more practical in its application than the old arrangement," said ti the Minister. There will be some road- operating requirements to ob- serve, the Minister pointed out. All oversized farm vehicles are prohibited from operating on any of the multilane "400 series" highways, including the Ottawa Queensway: Highway 2A in Scarborough, the Kitchener- Waterloo expressway of the Queen Elizabeth Way.
