creeper transmission with six additional
speeds from .5 to 2.1 mph for more
control and performance. MAGNUM

50 PERTH COUNTY SPECIAL EDITION
AROUND PERTH
OBPFC Work for
Change in Industry
Tom Graham of St. Marys, in addi-
tion to being in his 13th year as a provin-
cial director for the egg board, is Perth
County's man on the public relations
committee of the Ontario Beef Produc-
ers for Change (OBPFC).
The OBPFC was organized about
two years ago to seek a centralized sys-
tem for marketing beef in Ontario.
Members argue that prices are simply
too low for beef producers to survive.
The OBPFC cites six goals:
• to set up an all -industry commis-
sion to operate the beef marketing sys-
tem with producers as directors as well
as directors from other parts of the in-
dustry,
• to get all beef producers and related
producers registered,
• to market all cattle through the
commission and its agents using a sys-
tem of competitive bidding,
• to strive to meet the potential for all
cows and calfs in Ontario,
• to establish a pricing system that
relates to the cost of production, and
• to get recognition for the beef in-
dustry's impact on the social and envi-
ronmental structure of rural Ontario.
In May of this year, the OBPFC
reported a total of 2,400 members. In
August, the number had climbed to
3,145.
The organization is now awaiting
the report of a task force set up to inves-
tigate the beef industry in Ontario. The
report is expected in September. "If
there's no positive direction," says
Graham, "we're going to continue doing
what we're doing. Hopefully there will
be something positive."
"We're not very happy with the
present situation," he adds. "It's just not
a desirable price. Actually it's a disaster
in the face of the price of com."
The Graham family produces eggs
as well as operating a 110 -cow herd of
Red Angus.0
