covering the board's 1973 crop
final payment and federal
governments two price payment
for the same crop were mailed to
producers during the last week in
December.
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.

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.
