CAMPBELL ELEVATORS R.R. 1, DUBLIN 527-0249 Stanley Twp. declares disaster Stanley council has declared its township a disaster area, after hearing an address from Ted Soudant, a spokesman for the Huron County Vegetables Grow ers Disaster Committee. The formal resolution will be sent to the Prime Minister, the treasurer, Minister of Agriculture John Wise, MP Murray Cardiff and opposition leaders in Ottawa, as well as to the provincial premier, treasurer and opposition leaders, Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell, and to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. The resolution outlines the serious damage to crops caused by the excessive rainfall in September and October, and concludes by saying: “The loss of crops will not only mean financial hardships to the growers, but will also mean financial hardship to the townships involved. It is our expressed opinion that if financial aid does not come from some level of govern ment, thisdisasterwillresult in long-term disability to growers and to the rural community.’’ Stanley and Hay townships were perhaps the hardest hit in Huron County, because of the large vegetable farms in the area which lost virtually all their crops. Losses at Soudant Farms alone have been estimated at $450,000. Bean prices reach record high Because of continuing harvest uncertainties, Ontario stopped selling white beans late last week when prices reached a record high of $59.60 per hundredweight bag, farabove the $27/cwt. the bean board had received prior to September. The Ontario Bean Marketing Board had suspended trading for nearly five weeks before re-open- ing October 20th, selling in the $54/cwt. range, but buyers an xious over the expected short supply soon drove the price to the unprecedented high. “It’s unbe lievable!’’ said Bob Readings, secretary-treasurer of the market ing board. Before the rains began in early September, Mr. Readings said the expected harvest was estimated at over two million bags, but reported that by late last week, only 830,000 bags had come in, with few more expected. The quality of many of the weather-damaged beans was not high because of discoloration, but they are certainly useable, he said. Ontario’s usual bean crop is the second largest in the world, exceeded only by that of Michigan. However, U.S. growers were even worse off than Ontario farmers this year, reporting only 1.2 million hundredweight bags in, far off the nearly 4.5 million bags anticipated before the rains came.
