The Rural Voice, 1981-08, Page 23Donna Hemingway, Huron County pork producer and
graduate of the Animal Health Technology course at
Centralia, is seen above making an inquiry at a booth at
the 1981 Pork Congress. Her husband Neil, also a
Centralia grad, spoke on "The Management of Time"
during the education program at the Congress.
Pork Congress
a success
One of the highlights of this year's
Pork Congress has to be the opening day
speech by Federal Agriculture Minister
Eugene Whelan, who had good news for
pork producers. He told his audience of
about 350 farmers that he had decided
not to deduct provincial hog stabilization
payments from the federal payment this
year, thus giving farmers their full
subsidy of $8.96 per hog, up to 5,000 hogs
per producer.
Another highlight, particularly for the
Export Development Committee (EDC)
created by the Ontario Pork Congress two
months ago, was the presence of
government officials from Mexico,
Venezuela and the Dominican Republic
who were shopping for purebred pigs,
semen, drugs. barn equipment and
premixes.
Excellent weather, good crowds of both
producers and consumers, interesting
exhibits and informative lectures
combined to make this year's Pork
Congress another success story.
Congratulations to all who helped with
the organization and work.
All eyes were on the ring when Huron County's Bill Turnbull
showed his fine York Boar, which sold for $450. on the first day of
the Pork Congress.
