Less emotions on
free trade topic
The topic of free trade no longer ig-
nites emotional discussions if the
monthly meeting of the Huron Coun-
ty federation of agriculture is an
example.
Over 65 farmers turned out to the
Clinton high school on Thursday to
hear four well-known people from
within their ranks - Ken MacKinnon
of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board,
Adrian Vos of the Huron pork pro-
ducers, Ross Proctor of the Huron
Cattleman's Association and Jim
Johnstone of the Egg Producers
marketing board - speak on the topic
of free trade.
There were questions on the effect
of free trade on milk quotas and the
impact of the European Economic
Community (EEC) on Canadian com-
modities, but reaction in general to
free trade was calm.
"Personally, I believe the issue has
been far too emotional," said
McKinnon. - •• •
The milk board chairman said the
federal government has not made any
official plans, it has only said it is will-
ing to discuss free trade with the
United States.
He suggested that the agriculture
community work along with any
group working on negotiations with
the ultimate aim being a good deal for
Canadian farmers.
"The hot topic is free trade. A lot
of people think the sky is falling, that
it's the end of the world," said
Johnstone.
It is his opinion that the process of
free trade negotiations between the
two countries "will be a long slow pro-
cess." The egg producer said farmers
should deal rationally with the
subject.
"When we do go to the table our
position should be clear and not trad-
ed away," he said.
As for pork producers, Vos noted
Good year for
Team Circus
The Bully Gully -Team Circus has
had another very busy, satisfying
season racing their 1986 Yamaha
Phazer.
Early in the season they travelled
across the border into Michigan and
took part in the ironwood Snowmobile
Olympus. Brian Eickmeier finished
first in B stock and second in (' stock
in the drags.
The next day Eickmeier was doing
battle for the lead in sport 6 sno-cross
when he tangled with another
Yamaha. Ile came out on the short
end, crashing, going end over end,
coming out of it with a badly bruised
leg and a banged up machine. That
ended racing that weekend for Team
Circus.
in January they travelled to the
Georgian ('up races at ()wen Sound
and had a very disappointing
weekend with no places.
Next weekend on to the Kawartha
('up at Peterborough and much more
satisfying results. Eickmeier finish-
ed first in sport 6 and second in sport
7 sno-cross.
Due to a second week bout with the
flu Eickmeier was unable to ride, so
some of the other team members took
the Phazer to some drag races in
North Bay. Substitute rider Brent Van
Morrsel came away with a thirst place
finish in (' stock.
The first weekend back racing for
Eickmeier, they travelled to the Kin-
cardine Winter Festival. Brian had a
second place finish in sport 5 and fin-
ding himself still easily tired due to
his illness, he turned the sled over to
Wayne Itenderson.
Team members were very pleased
with Henderson's riding abilities he
came away with a first in sport 6 and
a first in pro -open.
The team will be racing this
weekend, February 15 and 16, at the
World Series of drag racing at
Lakeside, near. St. Marys. it will be
a very exciting weekend with both
Canadians and Americans com-
peting, as well as a Targe variety of
sizes and makes of snowmobiles.

that until last year, pork was traded
freely across the border. However,
the difference last year was that some
states went against American federal
law and closed the borders to Cana-
dian pork.
Vos said pork producers would
never agree to trade off another com-
modity to save theirs. All they want
is "fair trade" he said.
"Cattlem.en would be happy to
trade with anyone," said Proctor
tongue-in-cheek.
However, he added in a serious tone
that he doesn't want to trade against
a government treasury, which hap-
pens when the American government
subsidizes beef producers in that
country.
Proctor said tripartite stabilization
would find a free trade of sorts across
Canada, making it possible for On-
tario beef producers to compete with,
say, Alberta beef producers.
When questioned on the impact on
quotas, McKinnon said he didn't think
there would be any impact. he
acknowledged that there has been
some selling of quotas in anticipation
of free trade talks, but he thinks that
selling peak is over.
The milk producer repeated a com-
ment which has been heard before in
the agriculture community.
"We have more to be concerned
about GATT (General Agreement on
Tariff and Trades with Europe)
negotiations than free trade," said
McKinnon.
Ontario federation of agriculture
director Brenda Ward, questioned
whether agriculture representatives
should be in touch with represen-
tatives from the Canadian steel,
forestry, and auto industries. She sug-
gested these talks be used to point out
that agriculture is not to be traded off
in free trade negotiations.
McKinnon didn't agree. He sug-
gested that farmers continue to pro-
ve they are credible and they
shouldn't jump in and say they're not
going to discuss certain items.
