The Times-Advocate, Exeter, Ont, Dear Sirs; Mr, Doug Kincaid is to be congratulated for pointing out a bad situation that existed in the beer tent portion of Grand Bend’s buffaloburger fest. It is unfortunate that the Chamber of Commerce places so much importance on the beer tent operation, particularly at a time when the Provincial Government is in the process of reversing a piece of bad legislation that reduced the legal drinking age to eighteen years. The lower drinking age has led to many problems and abuses in the consumption of The three-week old meat packing plant strike is hit­ ting pork producers in the pocket book. “A lot of money is being wasted,” Jim Rollings, sales manager of the On- tariopork Producers Marketing Board said Fri­ day. “Every time a farmer has to hold a hog an extra day he has lost money and nobody gains.” The Canadian Food and Allied Workers went on strike June 19 at five Swift Plants, and their major competitor Canada Packers locked out their workers later in the week. The two companies are the major buyers in Ontario and the strike has caused a backlog in the number of hogs ready for slaughter. Huron County is the se­ cond largest hog marketing area in the province, sur­ passed only by Perth Coun­ ty. It is estimated there are more than 1600 producers and some are feeling the effects of the strike. “It is certainly an in­ convenience”, says pork producer Bob Down of Hen- sall. “You can’t hold hogs like cattle' and if the hog is full weight and you have to hold it for a week, the meat is worth a lot less and you have the extra feeding cost.” Last week Down had a load of swine turned away from the Hensall Livestock Sales barn and had to hold the pigs one week before selling them at Denfield. “You can try to get your load to market first but this approach is really limited. If you’re first, someone else is turned away,” he said. Barry Miller of Hensall Livestock Sales said the volume of sales at the yard has dropped by about a third since the start of the strike. Normally about 1200 swine are sold at the one day sale, but now sales are about 800. The price of hogs for slaughter has dropped since the start of the strike and Jim Rollings of the marketing board says the strike is partially responsi­ ble. “Two major competitors are no longer on the market and the costs have gone up for the packers still in operation because they are paying overtime wages. It isn’t surprising they want to pay less right now,” he said. The American market has dropped since the start of the strike so it is likely that Canadian prices would have dipped too even if there wasn’t any strike, says Rollings. “We expected the price to increase in July, but with the strike there is not going to be an increase,” he said. The first week of the strike 45,000 hogs were kill­ ed, The second week 45,600 •were killed and 49,500 were killed the third week, “I think the packers in business have been doing a great job of increasing their kill, but it may become more difficult to keep going at maximum speed,” says Rollings . The board shipped 7,000 hogs to Quebec to be slaughtered and may look at other markets if the strike is extended into the fall. “If it goes on for a long time there will be serious problems. We may have to look into large contractual deals with the U.S./’ said Rollings . The marketing board has Y sent one test load to the United States and may send more to test the market. The major problem facing the market board at present is the uneven flow of swine to market. Too many producers are shipping at the start of the week when the market is flooded, said Rawlings. Rollings said the marketing board will not be '•KINSMEN nrr DEC UU CUT KCrKEXilyiCn I TENT St. Marys Fair July 13, 14, 15 Lincoln Green Orchestra k J t★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Excellent Farm Machinery Reception & Dance for SHARON YOUNG and GORD BLANE (bridal couple) Sat., July 22 Dancing 9-1 Music By THE HEYWOODS k r LUCAN COMMUNITY CENTRE Everyone Welcome Lunch Provided J Y Reception & Dance pressuring for the strike to be settled. “It’s not our job to say set­ tle, We are coping with a situation we don't like and doing the best we can/’ he said. “If producers all slow down a little bit on feed and only ship what they have to, when it is all over the market is going to be better.” JU* Skating in ZURICH ARENA Wed., Fri., Sat. & Sun.
