FARMERS LEAVING LAND
June is Dairy Month . . . and
while the ,Can.adian population
continues to expand, and the de-
mand for dairy products contin-
ues to increase,,a matter for the
concern of allCana.clians is "where
wilt the milk et:dile from in
future"?
Cow numbers are the. lowest,
they have been in 4$.. years and
the number of farmers keeping
cows has declined to the lowest
level since World War IL In the
intervening years production per
LUBC
cow and per farmer Las increased,
at a rate which generally exceed-
ed consumer dem,and but for the
past five years there has been no
Appreciable increase in national
production, and indeed, iu 1965
production actually fell below
1964 levels.
The recent moves taken by the
go), el molt to establish higher
prices to farmers for milk may
lizay or may not have the desired
effect; namely to stimulate pro•
duction and farm income, The
farmer, however. is a victim of
another situation which, is only
indirectly related to the peon-
omits of dairy farming. As the
farmer is called upon to become
more and more efficient, and this
geoerally implies that he should
become bigger, the need for help
in the operation of his farm be-
comes mor( acute.
Censistent with this need is a
,rowing disenchantment on the
part of the experienced dairy farm
labour with the demanding
nature of a dairy farm. Good men
are departing the field to seek
eniploy,ment where they can , en-
joy a five day, fourt3r hour week,
with week-ends free. Many of the
best dairy farmers have pre-
maturely retired because of the
failure to obain satisfactory help,
If no solution to the problems
of dairy production are found it is
possible that Canada will be put
in the ludicrous position of im-
porting dairy products into a
country which is one of the last
agricultural reservoirs in the
world.
