THE OFFICE ofessional inting cs\ r Ontario milk producers have learned a lot from earlier days and turned a declining business into a stable industry, said the Chairman of the Ontario Milk Producers' Marketing Hoard (OMPMB) Ken McKinnon. Mr., McKinnon, who was speaking to a group of approximately 100 dairy farmers at the annual Huron Connty Milk Producers' meeting, said there were three important reasons for this turn around. The first reason, he cited, was the strength• of the milk producer organizations. Keeping strong communication lines open in the milk industry is important to growth, he said. Secondly, Mr. McKinnon told the crowd at the Clinton Legion Hall, it was. public relations and the promotion of dairy products that developed the industry's growth. "We must support this area of promotion in our industry, it makes our prOducts just as competitive as any others." In the past, milk proMotion has received partial funding from the federal• govern- ment, but thingst said, Mr. McKinnonl'are going to change and costs may soon have to be cushioned by the producers. Thirdly, he said milk producers should strive to make the industry as efficient as possible, in all areas of production and shipping. Mr. McKinnon told the crowd that although things were changing, effective April 1 there would be an approximate 30 to 31 cent increase per kwt. for industrial milk. "We see no benefits in holding back on price increases," he said. One of the few products which has shown some changes in consumption trends is butter. He said the dairy committee has projected a four Per cent increase for butter sales this year, Cheeseproducts, also growing in consumption, have increased` , an approximate five to six percent over last year, However, said, Mr. McKinnon, overall milk production meets only 95 per cent of the market demand in Ontario. "You should all be striving to get production up," he said, "We want to see everyone striving for 100 per cent of their quota." Even though 100 per cent production had not been reached', production was up three per cent over last March, he said. Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron-Middlesex, who spoke earlier in the afternoon told the group there were approximately 10() farmers going out of business in Ontario each year. "We are going to have to have some relief to cushion the blow," he said: He said it was time the• provincial government developed assistance programs for dairy farmers. Mr. Riddell, told the crowd that other provinces such as Quebec, had already developed assistance programs. "We are competing against these other provinces'and it's provinces'like Quebec that are surpassing us in PiodUction.7.. Aside' from listening to guest speakers,' Huron. County Milk Producers elected new committee men. Jim Hunter, from East Wawanosh Town- ship, was elected for the first time for a three year term. Jim Dietitian of Ashfield Township, Hugh Litt of 'Howick Township and' Stuart Steckle of Stanley Township were re-elected to the board for three year terms and Martin Baari of Grey Township was re-elected fora one year term.
