Milk industry in trouble, Huron .F of A.' hear
The Huron County Federation
of AgeieUlture elected four new
members to the executive during
the November Director's meeting
recently in. Clinton. The pew
members are Maurice Bean,
Auburn; Alan Walper, Grand.
Bend; Howard Datars,
Dashwood, Jack Stafford,
Wroxeter. ,!
Bitter complaints against
tactics of Ontario Hydro in
dealing with farmers were voiced
at the meeting and strong
language was used to denounce
-these tactis. Some samples of the
.emnplaints; first Hydro st ated
they don't need Inverlauron, now
t1,14,'ve got it;first they state at,
'public meetings that they don't
intend to export electricity, all
those power corridors are for
Canadian use, now they apply for
export permits ; first they tell the
farmer they need'540 feet of his
land, now they are surveying
another 360 feet, to make it a total
of 900 feet.
They stated that only one line
will go through Morris, Hallett
and McKillop Townships. The
farmers are wondering now how
much truth there is in that '
statement. Head Office in
Toronto told the. OFA hydro
committee that from now on only
offers to purchase would be
offered to farmers. Two weeks
later their fieldmen are at it
again, offering offers to sell;
thereby making the landowner a
willing seller, which he isn't.
Martin Baan, president of Gay
Lea Foods, speaking as a milk
producer expressed grave
concern about the future of the
milk industry. He stated that
delivery of industrial milk, which
is used for the production of dairy
products other than fluid milk, is
down 42 percent in the first three
weeks of October.Manufacturers
have to go out of business, for the
expensive equipment is sitting
idle eating',up capital costs.
Why do milk producers go out
of business? Baan thought there
are many reasons. The seven-day
week, the many strings and
regulations. Quota such and
quota so, subsidy such and
subsidy so, equipment require-
ments inspection, testing. All
necessary but very tiresome: On
top of this the good pric
when cattle are sold,
with the high cost of f
last year, makes
attractive to switch to
else. He warned that
more went out of dai
export market in bree
