Shillinglaw agreed there was, saying "that's natural any place where white beans have been grown or marketed." He said whenever growers think or marketing board proposals, they think of their disappointments in other similar organizations they've been involved with, By ALICE GIBB Bruce Shillinglaw, a Londesboro farmer who's a member of the provisional corn marketing committee trying to organize an ac- ceptable grain corn marketing, told federation members there likely won't be a vote on the proposed 11111111.1111111111111111111.1.111111111111111111111111 John Deere Oil-Less Air Compressors These gasoline-engine and electric-motor compressors combine portability with high performance and low maintenance.

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."

T-A photo 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, When asked if there wasn't "a good deal of opposition" to the marketing board Electric Start kit to fit 8 or 10-hp snowthrowers.
