Mr. Fergus Young. RR 1, En- nismore, chairman of the marketing board. emphasized that the payments were for 1973 crop and not for wheat harvested in 1974. The marketing board's final payment amounted to 35.81 cents per bushel. and the federal government's payment amounted to 90.19 cents per bushel, making a total of $1.26 per bushel on all 1973 crop wheat sold by producers. The federal payment is based on 51.75 per bushel on that volume of wheat used for domestic human consumption which totalled approximately 6 million bushels or about 50% o[ producers sales. However, the total govern- ment money available including interest came to about $11 million. bnd by agreement between the government and the board. it was paid on total bushels sold by producers at 90.19 cents per bushel rather than on the basis of 51.75 per bushel on about one half of the producer safes. The board final payment totall- ed over 54.3 million at 35.81 cents per bushel. which also applied to all wheat sold .by producers. r 5 Hurry Hurry Hurry Don't Miss These $AVI NG$ From Our Service Department 1O%Off Labour on all MAJOR- Overhauls AJOROverhauls For January From Our Parts Department 10%-Off ./s Parts on all MAJOR Overhauls For January Complete Service For... .00 • Chain Saws, ovo eirbj EXETER FORD vd►` • Lawn Mowers • Garden Tractors • Rotary Tillers Better Farming Starts At Equipment Sales Ltd EXETER 2354200 Problems .not over yet By ADRIAN VOS • The worldwide crops problem is not over yet. Argentine wheat exports will be only 35 million bu§hels this year as against 100 million bushels last year. There is one ray of hope. In North America the winter wheat crop looks good. If we don't get too much winter kill and if we do get adequate moisture and if we get no flooding in critical times and if not too many snowmobilers drive over it, packing the snow and smothering the wheat, we may come up with a good crop. If there are still some people left who think that the farmer is getting rich at the expense of the other consumer, here is something to think about. Last August, 14 ounces of canned peas cost 29c. The far- mers' share was 31/2c. Fourteen ounces of tomatoes were 31c, the farmer got 2.6c. Kernel corn was 3612c, farmers' share 2.1c. Carrots sold for 25c of which the farmer received 0.8c. How's that grab you. The inflation. It hits us all, but it hit some more than it hit others. I think that everyone agrees that people on small fixed incomes are hardest hit. The average consumer price index rose last year about 12 percent. This includes such items as soft drinks, which are classified as • foods. However, the average farm input rose by 18 percent. So, if you read that farm in- come soared last year for the Canadian farmerkand you will, remember that his thi]ay soared even more. So his net income will be lower. There's no tying of the cost of living to the farmers' income. You may have read in the daily papers that air pollution from cars and from factories causes severe losses to the white bean crop (up to 60 percent). Now it has come to my attention that nearly all crops suffer from this ' cause including rhubarb, corn, onion, potato, radish, spinach, tobacco and tomato.Aswecan't move the land, isn't it time that we at least stop industry from moving on the land? There's lots of room on poor or non-food producing land. Mr. Young said complete 1973 crop payment and approximate end price was as follows: 1973 - initial price to producers $1.51 per bushel less 1 cent per bushel licence fee - first board interim payment of 50 cents per bushel made to producers in December 1973 - second board interim pay- ment of $1.00 per bushel made to producers in December 1974 - federal government two price payment of 90.19 cents per bushel made to producers in December 1974 - Total end price to producers for 1973 crop wheat was approximately 54.26 per bushel. not taking into account grade discounts or storage es- calator allowances. There were 12.194,340 bushels sold by Ontario wheat producers out of the 1973 crop which was of- ficially estimated at 14.8 million bushels. The difference between the amount sold by producers and the estimated total for the crop is accounted for by either on-farm carryover or on-farm feed utilization, and seed use. The $426 applied to the 14.8 million bushel figure is an alltime record for the crop and resulted in a total farm value of well over 563 million. The previous high total value was recorded for the 1948 crop at 545 million at 52.05 per bushel on 21.9 million bushels produced. Support prices for grade cows A support price of 523.21 a hundredweight has been established for Grade DI, D2, D3 and D4 cows. Farmers will be eligible under the program for a deficiency payment on cows sold at the rate of two percent of their herd per month up to a maximum of five percent of the herd. Owners of small herds will receive the deficiency payment on a maximum of two cows marketed at any time during the program period and the per- centage limitation will not apply. All cows marketed between November 16th and December 13th will be eligible for the payment. The price of $23.21 is 100 per- cent of the weighted average price for the past five years at the Toronto, Calgary and Winnipeg markets. If the average price for the period November 16th to April 30th falls below that figure, a deficiency payment will be made. directly to producers on their eligible cows. The rate of payment will be the same to. all sellers regardless of the price received for individual animals. Application forms will be available after April 30th, 1975 if a deficiency payment is necessary.
