Tripartite
meeting to
be held
By John Bancroft
Farm Management Specialist
for Huron County
Huron County beef producers,
including cow-calf, feeder cattle
and slaughter cattle producers, are
invited to a meeting on Tuesday,
June 1 to discuss alternatives to the
current National Tripartite
Stabilization Program for beef. The
meeting will be held at the Festival
Inn, Stratford starting at 7 p.m.
The tripartite program was
introduced in 1986 as a program to
help participating producers reduce
market risk. Over the past six
months producers and government
representatives have met across
Canada and have developed five
proposed options for producers to
consider. The five options are:
• a value added income
stabilization account (VMS A) that
would support producers' incomes
rather than prices;
• a modified NISP that would be
a significantly revised version of
the current program;
• a risk management agency that
would use market instruments, such
as futures or oprtions, to provide
price insurance to producers;
• a stabilization program for cow-
calf producers only;
• no program.
