Farmers protest cheap food
Over 50 farmers from Huron,
Bruce and Perth Counties were
among over 1,200 farmers from
across Ontario and across Canada
who poured into the Chateau
Laurier, Ottawa, to express their
solidarity and concerns at the
co-conference called by the
Ontario. Federation of Agriculture
on Wednesday, February 22 to
coincide with the government's
National Food Strategy
Conference.
Farmers overflowed both the
conference room and convention
hall.
OFA President, Peter Hannam,
stressed that farmers will not
accept a cheap food policy.
Probably the greatest achieve-
ment the government food strat-
egy conference can make is a
greater awareness of farm
problems, stated Mr. Hannam.
Commodity groups and farmers
gave their unanimous support to
four main objectives. They de-
manded expanded markets for
farm products both at home and
abroad.
Dairy farmers were told the
cheese import quota must be
rolled back to 35 million pounds.
"Food is imported that is,
produced under much lower
standards than are required in
Canada. We find this very
grating", said Merele gunby,
first vice-president of Huron
County Federation of Agriculture.
The Federal Government must
proclaim its permanent support
for the right of farmers to market
their 'products collectively.
Speaker after speaker took to the
floor to state that since other
industries and services in Canada
had unions and associations, they
against Teeswater whom they
defeated 8-0 to bring home the
trophy. Dean Wheeler scored 4
goals, Marty Rutledge 3 goals
and Dwayne Achilles 1 goal.

Though not easily annoyec,
there is one thing that 1;ugs me.
The phone rings. You answer in a
polite friendly voice. You get no
response at all. It is clear
someone is on the line, for after
two or three repeated "hellos"
you hear a receiver replaced. If
they realize, when you answer,
that they have a wrong number
why do they not say so? This is a
small thing but it is not good
manners.

must leave professional
agriculturists to deal with their
own industry.
The Government of Canada
must disassociate itself publicly
from support of a cheap national
food policy and must abandon
plans to limit the price of food.
New Canadian Federation of
Agriculture President, Dobson
Leigh (Alberta) pointed out that
the food system has served
'Consumers well.
"Farmers need more than
sympathy from consumers" said
Mr. Leigh.
In responSe to a comment by
Health and Welfare Minister,
Monique Begin that there is 'a
national emergency in nutrition,
Peter Hannam stated that any
nutrition problem in Canada was
voluntary malnutrition.
Dwayne Achilles.
Gary Leis deserves honourable
mention for his 3 game shut-out
playing goal.
The Federal and Provincial
Governments must implement
effective coordinated and mean-
ingful stabilization and-or income
assurance programs.
"We were promised
stabilization and we were promis-
ed an income for all we could
produce years ago. We can't live
on words", said Peter Hannam.
A telegram from the Prime
Minister, the Right Honourable
Pierre Trudeau, stating he would
be unable to attend the farmers'
co-conference drew negative re-
action from farmers.
The Honorable Eugene
Whalen, Federal Minister of
Agriculture was in attendance.
The Minister stated his support of
marketing boards and said he
would resign if he thought the
Government would do anything to
hurt marketing boards. At a
recent meeting, he stated, that all
provincial Ministers of
Agriculture voiced support for
marketing boards.
Mr. Hannam stated that those
present were there to help
support the Minister in his
endeavours for positive farm
policies. However, farmers would
have been more reassured had
Mr. Trudeau himself come to the
meeting to make a commitment to
agriculture.
A strong commitment by
Government to the agricultural
industry would bring more under
standing and support from all
other Government, Ministries,
commented Mr. Hannam.
In conclusion, OFA President,
Peter Hannam stated that Joe
Clark, Lorne Nystrom and
Eugene Whalen had all expressed
their support for Canadian agri-
culture to him. Considering food
'is such a strategic commodity, it
is difficult to understand why
Cariada's primary producers
should be plagued by Govern-
ment inaction.
"Let's not be lulled into rest
now", cautioned President
Hannam. "Let's go back home
and continue talking about
farming problems and finding
solutions. We must not let the
GovernMent get away with
talking, talking, talking and no
action. We make •achievement;
for justice and equity. 11
