EXETER Main St. , Exeter Phone 235-0400 FAMILY MARKET Area corn growers agreed Thursday night that the Ontario Federation of Agriculture should continue research that may lead to the formation of a corn producers marketing board. But they were adamant that such a board should have no control over pricing, and that membership in it should be voluntary, The growers met in Clinton with John Oke, a member of the (WA's grain committee, to dis- cuss a proposal which will be tabled at the OFA's annual meeting in Toronto this week. Mr. Oke assured the 40 corn growers present that the OFA proposes only a negotiating board with what it terms "low level functions" rather than an agency type board with buying, selling and pricing powers. Since some 40 percent of the corn grown in the province is used for feed, an agency board would not work for corn, the OFA proposal stresses. Seven points are outlined in the proposal, which Mr. Oke offered to the corn growers for com- ment. The proposed board's first function would be to act as a spokeman for corn growers, in- forming the public and producers of developments in corn produc- tion. "Corn growers today really have no one to represent them" Mr. Oke said. There are current- ly 11 men on the governments grain council, but only three of them are farmers, he noted. United through a board, corn growers could lobby for terminal storage needs, transportation subsidies, tariff and trade equi- ty, and research into cheaper drying methods, the OFA feels. The boards second function would be to negotiate and ad- ministor advance payments. Producer organizations handle advance payments for other crops, and the OFA says corn growers could become ineligible for such payments without a board to negotiate and ad- minister the plan. The proposed board would alio be charged with the responsibili- ty of negotiating stabilization payments for corn. At present "we're left at the mercy of the government to stablize as they, see fit, with no input from producers what so ever" Mr. Oke said. Handling and drying charges, Which Mr. Oke termed a "hot subject" among corn growers, would also be negotiated by the board. Main area of contention for corn growers is moisture con- tent. Currently, there are "no regulations on moisture content testing", Mr, Oke said, and some elevators have been using moisture charts from the U.S. which are not appropriate for Ontario corn. It is also felt by some that drying and handling charges are excessive, and the OFA proposes negotiating a maximum charge each year as protection for growers. A fifth function of the board would Abe to negotiate payments from premium grades of corn. "Corn with as much as 40 or 50 percent moisture is going into some elevators" Mr. Oke said, "but those who bring in low moisture corn get no bonus on it". Extra money for premium grades often goes to the elevator rather than the producer, the OFA maintained. The OFA also sees a corn marketing board supplying trade information which would aid producers in selling their crop at the best time, and working to promote export opportunities. Discussions at the meeting often dealt with specific points of interest to in- dividual farmers, but Huron F of A president Alan Wolper stress- ed that the growers were being asked only if they were in favour of some kind of group to act as spokesman, and that details would be worked out at future meetings. Mr. Oke said before the board could be formed, a proposal would have to be put before the federal Farm Products Marketing Board and a plebiscite held. The signatures of 2.200 corn producers would be needed before the Board would allow a plebiscite on the matter, Mr. Oke said, a process which could take two years. Huron F and A vice-president Merle Gunby, responding to the obvious reluctance of some of those present to commit themselves to endorsing the OFA proposal, "farmers would be sil- ly not to look into it a little further. It can't do us any thing but good! He pointed out that there would be time in the future to decide if producers really Want a corn board and to work out details of the powers it would have. A show of hands indicated that the majority of the growers on hand agreed with Mr. Gunby, and the OFA was given the Huron F of A's approval to con- tinue studying the matter.
