Turn to pp 0+ Dear Reader; The Bruce County Port Producers Assoo daation is working to improve the industry through a rational marketing system, The past five years have seen only one year, 1982, when average price returned cosi of production, The reason is not mere choice, 11 is chronic over production which is the result of modern production techniques+ which are now commonplace, ever produc- tion with no restrictions spell low pork prices, We are promoting a raationaal maarketing system for Canada based on two principles; (1 y The domestic market shouldbe shared by producers through a quota system with prices determined by a cost of production ay Pork foe export would be produced with no restrictions and, of course, price would be whatever it would g on the export marker. by short, stoppty management for the domestic market and utrre's-tariacted produc- ,fora for the export maatket, We are, at this time, in a unique situation, Now, more than at any previous time, we producers ate in a position to aci tot our own beneftt, Ontario and Quebec produce about 7d% of our pork, Late in November, at the Canadian Po►k Council meeting, the Quebec delega- tion indicaated its support for supply manage - mem, Its motion was narrowly defeated, The strongest opposition came from the Athena and entarro delegations. Ontario president, Mr, Farrell, indicated to the press ,hart the Ontario p otion was On accord with the position taken by councilmen at the 0982 annual meeting, when they opted for sta fritiraation rather than supply manage- ment, "Nothing has changed since," Mt. iv aatte% is quoted as. saying. This is as situation that we, the producers can turn mound, 'there is ntv doubt that Ontario and Quebec could Wog about a stapply auarraageonent system]. pot should be noted that there is support for supply rrvaorvaagemerort in the Maritirvaes and ptobalvly Saskatchewan N5 welly. There will be these who will say that it will be necessary to have unanimous agreement ftonr every province before a supply management system can 'le implemented; that is simply not tore. We appeal to potk ptoducets carefully consider their options. Over production is riot going to go away. The mulch publicized Slaabilizaatcora Plan will, if of ever gets off the ground, being limited herveftts to producers. The pork price cycle, put out of whack Ory chromic surpluses, will continue to have more downs than ups. Current ptograans to ioterease efficiency and to institute forward contracting, white coravm'endab'te, are in no wady able to dual with the problem a price catalyse. Chilly a maatvr change in marketing strategy can do that. The ptessiftes in the rraat*etplace exerted by packers. ked co;Yv vaard'es. wholesalers. retailers. unions and Wickets, have never been so intense. Unlike farmers. they seldom forgo wages. profits or retritry o>w investments. To imagine that are can continrfe to dump out product on the market Oh this scenario, and get a saatisfaactory price is not realistic.
