The Brussels Post, 1976-07-14, Page 12Agriculture and Food Minister William G. Newman has announced the details of the 1976 beef calf income stabilization program. Speaking in the Legisla- ture, Mr. Newman said the premiums for this year would be $5. per cow and the support price would be 50 cents per pound, the same as last year. Enrolment closes this year on. August 16. Only cows in the producer's possession as of June 22 may be registered. All contracts will expire in June 1980. The support price is calculated on 100 per cent of the producer's operating cost. All beef calf producers and cream shippers in Ontario are eligible. Producers who participated last year will' receive enrolment forms in the mail. —New participants will be able to get forms from their Agricultural Representatives - after July 12. Mr. Newman said that "although the price being supported is that for calves, the payments are made on a per cow basis. "The Payment is based on four factors," he said, "the support price for calves, which is 50 cents Brussels Stockyard Report "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." This program was initiated in 1975 to stabilize the income of beef calf producers and to • encourage a continuing supply of Ontario-produced beef. Last year 12,000 farmers registered 300,000 cows and received net, payments of $72. per cow, for total payments of $22.5 million.
