The province's beef-calf income
stabilization program is •open for
1976 registration. Producers who
are participating this year for the
first time will be able to get
contracts and enrolment forms ,
from their local agricultural repres-
entatives after, July 12. Producers
who participated last year will
receive their enrolment forms
through the mail in the next few
days. All contracts will expire in
June, 1980. Enrolment closes this
year on August 16 and only cows in
the producer's possession as of
June 22nd may be registered.
The, support price is calculated
on the basis. of 100 per cent of the
producer's operating costs. This
calculation gives a support price. of
51.11 cents for 1976, but we are not
raising the support price above 50
cents, said Hon. W. Newman,
because we would then be • obliged
to raise the premium per cow to
nearly $9.00. For every cent the
support price is raised, the
premium would have to be raised
another" $4.00.
The premium for 1976 remains
unchanged from' 1975 at $5,00 per
cow. Since the cow-calfbusiness is
still in some difficulty, the govern-
ment did not feel that a premium
increase was' warranted at this
time. '
Premiums must be paid upon
enrolment or the farmer may ask
that the premium be deducted from
his support payment chequf .
Agaia this year, all bed-calf
producers resident in the province
are eligible; regardless of the size
of their operations. . Cream
shippers are also eligible.
Although the price being sup-
s ported by this program is that for
calves, the payments are made on .a
per cow basis. Payments are made
for each cow registered in the
program and monitoring will be
carried out to ensure that'- appli-
'cants are bona , fide beefT calf
operators or cream shippers.
The payment is based' on four
factors; the support price for
calves, which. is 50 cents 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 priavinte is 85; and the
average weight Of the calves in the
fall, which is 450 pounds each.
The farmer is not obliged to sell
his calves. He may keep them and
sell them later or not at all while
still qualifying under the beef-calf
program.
All producers receive the same
payment per cow regardlesi of the—
individual selling prices of their
calves or their individual costs of
production. We do it this way
partly • to simplify the program for
all, concerned, but more important-
ly because we feerthat this method
interferes least with a' farmer's
decision hi the management of his,
farm, while at the same time
guaranteeing him a reasonable
return for his investment and
effort, said Mr. Newman.
The program was well received
by producers last year, with 12,000,
farmers registering more than
300,000 cows. With a weighted
average, market price of 29.8 cents
a pound, farmers received a net
payment of $72 per enrolled cow,
for a total of $22.5 million.
Labour Minister Bette Stephen-
son indicated in'the Legislature this
week that some arenas which do
not meet . the National Building
Code Standard may Be'allowed to
operate this winter. The operation
of such an • arena would be
dependent on two 'factors: (1), a
beginning of work to permaiiently
rectify the hazard; and ' (2),
monitoring procedures prescribed
by the engineer to ensure that the
building would be able to withstand
reasonable wind and snow load
pressures, Dr. Stephenson's
announcement signalled a signific-
ant shift in the Government's
position in 'a program that has
caused many "smaller municipalit-
ies a great deal of concern and
unease.
At' the same time, Culture and
Recreation Minister Robert Welch
said that Wintario grants would
continue to be available on a
matching basis condemned
arenas which are going to be
repaired or for new arenas con-
structed in their place. He said
that these applications 'would' be
processed quickly, so that the
money would be made available to ,
the affected community.'as soon as '
possible.
The Third Session of the 30th
Ontario Parliament has adjourned
for the summer. The Supreme
Court 'of, Canada decision on
Ontario's agreement with the
Federal Government in regard 'to
inflation controls is not expected
until the fall, and so the possibility
of the Legislature being called back
before that' time is unlikely.
In the meantime, I Wish everyone
a good summer.
