Report from Queen's Pork
Explains beef income plan
(By Murray Gaunt MPP)
The province's beef-calf
income stabilization program is
open for 1976 _registration.
Producers who are participating
this year for the first time will be
able to get contracts and
enrolment forms from their local
agricultural representataves after
July 12. Producers who
participated last' year will receive
their enrolment forms through
the mail in the next few days. All
contracts will expire in June,
1980. Enrolment closes this year
on August 16 and only Cows in the
producer's possession as of June
22nd may be registered.
The support price is calculated
on the basis of 100 per cent of the
producer's 'operating costs. This
calculation gives a support price
of 51.11 cents for 1976, but we are
not raising the support price
above 50 cents, said Hon. W.
Newman, because we would then
be obliged to raise the premium
per cow to neiarly $9.00. For
every cent the support price is
raised, the premium would have
to be raised another $4.00.
The premium for 1976 ,remains
unchanged from 1975 at $5.00 per
cow. Since the cow-calf business
is still in• some difficulty, the
government did • not feel that a
premium increase was warranted
at this time.
Premiums must be paid upon
enrolment or the farmer may ask
that the premium be deducted
from his support payment

cheque.
Again this year, all beef-calf
producers resident in the
province are eligible, regardless
of the size of their operations.
Cream shippers are also eligible.
Although the price being
supported by this program is that
for -calves, the payments are
made on a per cow basis.
Payments are made for each cow
registered in the program and
monitoring' will be carried out to
ensure that applicants are bona
fide beef calf operators or cream
shippers.
The payment is based. on four
factors: the support price for
calves, which is 50 cents a pound,
this 'year; the weighted average
market price for calves, which will
be calculated from fall sales; the
average number of calves from
100 cows, which when calculated
for the whole province is 85; and-
the average weight of the calves
in the fall, which is 450 pounds
each.
The 'farmer is not obliged to sell
his calves. He may keep them and
sell them later or not at all while
still qualifying under the beef-calf
program.
All producers receive the same
payment per cow regardless of
the individual selling prices of
their calves or their individual
costs of production.' We do it this
way partly to simplify the
program for all concerned, but
more importantly because we feel
that this method interferes least
with the farmer's decision in the
management of his farm, while at
the same time guaranteeing him a
reasonable return for his
investment and effort, said Mr.
Newman.-
The program was well received
by producers last year, with
.12,000 farmers registering more
than 300,000 cows. With a
weighted average market, price of
29.8 cents a pound, farmers
received a net payment of $72 per
enrolled cow, for a total of $22.5
Million.
Labour Minister Bette
Stephenson indicated • in the
Legislature this week that some
arenas which do not e meet the
National Building Code Standard
may be allowed to operate this
winter. The operation of such an
arena would be dependent on two
factors: (1) a beginning of work to
permanently rectify the hazard;
and (2), monitoring procedures
prescribed by the engineer to
ensure that the building would be
able to withstand - reasonable
wind and snow load pressures.
Dr. Stephenson's announcement
signalled a significant shift in the
Government's position in ' a
program that has caused, many
smaller municipalities a , great
deal of concern and unease.
At the same time, Culture and
Recreation Minister Robert
Welch said that Wintario grants
would continue to be available on
a matching basis for condemned
arenas which are going to be
repaired or for new arenas
cpnstructed in their place, He
said that these applications would
be processed quickly so that the
money would be made available
to the affected community as son
as possible.
The Third Session of the 30th
Ontario Parliament has adjourned.
for the summer. The Supreme .
Court of Canada decision on
Ontario's agreement with the
Federal Government in regard to
inflation controls is not expected
until the' fall, and so the
possibility of the Legislature
being called back before that time
is unlikely.
In the ,meantime, I wish
everyone a good summer.
