board for at least a year and
a half.
Shillinglaw was speaking
at the regional meeting for
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture members in the
north of the county, held at
East Wawanosh School,
Belgrave, Thursday night.
Shillinglaw said the
volunteer committee
studying the corn marketing
proposal has had "quite a
growing pain problem"
which had included losing a
number of members and
changing the original
concepts of the board.
Shillinglaw said the
committee now suggests
fashioning the corn board
after the soybean marketing
board. This means the corn
board would be a non-agency
type of board, which will
deal only with the grain corn
beign resold by the farmer,
rather than with corn sold in
farmer-to-farmer deals or
used on the grower's own
farm,
Shillinglaw said the
proposed cost for the board
handling the grain corn
would be 20 cents per metric
tonne.
The corn grower said there
is currently 1.7 million acres
of grain corn grown in the
province of Ontario, but a
large percentage of this is
either fed to livestock on the
grower's farms or is in
storage at elevators. He said
it would be too great a
problem for the proposed
marketing board to try and
control .all the corn in
storage.
Shillinglaw said the board
has been proposed because
"we need a spokesman for
corn growers in Ontario". He
warned corn growers in the
audience that the price of
seed corn will be going up 25
per cent next year, since the
Seed Corn Growers
Association voted to raise
their prices.
Shillinglaw said the corn
marketing board could deal
with seed corn companies.
Also. it could negotiate
advance payments and
assist in administering
them. Presently corn
growers can't obtain ad-
vance payments for their
crop.
Shillinglaw said the
stabilization plan currently
in effect has been developed
by the government, with no
input from growers. He said
a corn marketing board
could also negotiate these
payments on the growers'
behalf and "could be a
watchdog to keep handling
and storage rates within
reason."

Right now, Shillinglaw said,
the elevator owner, rather
than the grower, is getting
these payments, which may
amount to as much as an
extra 50 cents per bushel,
He said the proposed board
would also have a WATTS
line for growers which would
supply daily updated reports
on current corn prices.
The speaker said the board
should also investigate
export opportunities for the
grain corn grown in Ontario.
He said once you get beyond
what the industry can use,
this tends -to depress the
prices and "while this may
be good for the livestock
producers, it isn't for the
corn growers."
Shillinglaw told federation
members 15,000 brochures
are being printed up on the
corn marketing proposals
and will be circulated to
growers across the province,
There will also be county-
wide meetings set up this
winter to discuss the
proposals further.
Shillinglaw was asked
about a National Farmers'
Union (NFU) proposal
asking the Canadian Wheat
Board to take over control of
alll grains in Canada. He
replied he didn't feel the
NFU was a force to be
worried about" since they
don't have 15,000 names on
their petition.
The speaker told the
, audience the earliest vote
growers could expect on the
marketing board proposal
would be a year from next
April.
In response to a question
on who would be eligible to
vote on the proposal,
Shillinglaw said it would
likely be anyone receiving
money through the corn
stabilization program or else
growers who could swear by
affadavit they were eligible
corn growers,
