The provincial government is
reluctant to allow the Ontario
Stockyards to operate under a
special set of regulations and yet
force stiffer ones on community
stockyards. Therefore, there will
be a time of reconciling regulations
to make the Ontario Stockyards
fit, Hedley says. C PC
Pork producers
pass resolutions
One resolution passed this year
at the Perth County Pork Pro-
ducers' annual meeting is a follow-
up to a resolution passed last year.
In 1985, Perth asked that the OPP-
MB investigate the possibility of
funding research in pork
technology. This would help create
new pork products. "Before, we
did only production research; now
it's time for market research, says
Willy Keller, Fullarton pork pro-
ducer and OPPMB provincial
director for nine years.
Producers took his advice and
voted in favour of a resolution ask-
ing that the OPPMB continue to
aggressively pursue the develop-
ment of research in pork
technology.
Other resolutions were carried:
• that the OPPMB continue to lob-
by the provincial government to
maintain funding of Al facilities
and research. And that the OPP-
MB aid in the funding of AI
facilities and research if required.
• that the length of service of pro-
vincial directors to the OPPMB be
limited to four three-year terms to
bring in new people, new ideas,
and new thinking.
• that the OPPMB initiate a study
with the objective of creating an
appropriate support system for the
pork industry members. This
resolution arises from a situation
in Nova Scotia where, because of
odour, a hog farmer recently had
to go through litigation in testing
his right to produce hogs in a rural
setting. The resolution recognized
that OFA does offer some help to
farmers in similar situations in On-
tario.
• that the problems of shrinkage of
hogs held over by packers should
not penalize the individual pro-
ducer, but should be spread over
the weekly pool.F1PC
