Many recommendations were not implemented." "All major policy decisions were made to satisfy dealers. We need strong directors to coun- teract the dealers," he continued. "There should be more precise information available from dealers to the board. We don't know what dealers have in their elevators in volume and quality, Some dealers are buying on their Own account." "Producers have a challenge. The government has given us power under the Marketing Board, but we must use it properly. Our policies and programs must not set up loopholes," concluded Durand, Durand was replaced as a director for Huron by Varna farmer Glenn Hayter. Returned were present directors Bob Allan, Murray Cardiff and Joe Miller. Bob Allan agreed there was dissention on the board but ad- ded, "every decision is com- plicated," Allan informed that before agency Ontario prices were $1 less than Michigan and now they are $1 more. On the subject of grading , director Joe Miller said, "beans should be properly identified when taken by dealers who are agents of the board." Miller continued, "Growers of No. 1 beans shouldn't have to wait for their money until lower grades are sold. The board has powers to implement grading tomorrow." The successful new director Glen Hayter said he supported grading. He added, "we sell hogs on index, a similar grading system should be used for beans." Hay township farmer Lloyd Willert suggested beans should be sold directly without dealers and brokers. Elected as committee mem- bers for Huron were Murray Dennis, Victor Hartman, Bev Hill, Ken McCowan Jr., Glenn Miller, Don Moylan, John Oke, John Paul Rau, Glen Ribey, Nick Whyte, John Seagren and Robert Anderson. Defeated in the election of directors were Glenn Miller, Richard Erb and John Bean, Gordon Hill, past president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture was chairman of the meeting which lasted more than seven hours. On several oc- casions Hill used the gavel to keep growers from straying from the subject under discussion. Also speaking were chief executive officer Lloyd Taylor and area directors Frank Van- neste, Middlesex and George Sitter, Lambton. Vanneste was returned as Middlesex director at a similar meeting in Ilderton, Thursday. Plan meeting at Whalen By MRS.
