T -A photo Hog grading soon to go metric Beginning December 31, Canadian hogs will be marketed and graded in metric weights and measures. Hog prices will be quoted in dollars per 100 kilograms Idressed weight basis). Carcasses will be weighed in kilograms and fat measurements will be taken in millimetres. The new system was Plan night with media The Huron County Federation of Agriculture is sponsoring a meeting at the Blyth Public School to consider how the media influences the public's perception of agriculture. The meeting will be December 6 at 8:30 p.m. Serving on the panel will be Ross Daily, farm editor of CFPL TV and host of "This Business of Farming"; Henry Hess, editor of the Wingham Advance -Times; and Bob Trotter, journalism. lecturer at Conestoga College and author of a weekly newspaper column entitled "One Foot in the Furrow". A question period will follow the panel discussion. worked out by the Canadian Pork Council, the Meat Packers Council of Canada, and Agriculture Canada's livestock and poultry division. The new table is based on fat measurement taken at the back and loin rather than the shoulder and loin as has been the practice for the past decade. The change will result in a lower total back - fat measurement for the same carcass. This change, together with the change to metric measurements. means the new table is not directly comparable to the table that has been used to date. Individual hogs may grade differently in the new system than they have in the past. However, the total amount paid out for all hogs marketed under the new system should be very similar to total payouts under the current system. The new table will be. monitored closely and if the results are substantially different than the present system, changes will be considered. Pork producers and packers co-operated with Agriculture Canada last year in a major carcass research project. The project yielded information for the move to metric and tested new fat measurement systems. It also checked the accuracy of the present grading system. The grading system could be further refined in 1981. t ifsntsloltsn vts ma stn stnvn s/‘1F?=31918 'TOP QUALITY OYS 3 3 2 3 a i for your little farmer Give your child something to last.

He said the board dropped its export price this week to 125 per 100 -pound bag and its domestic price to 126 because of a price drop last week in Michigan, Ontario's major competitor. "It's a real mixed bag right now," he said. "A lot of Michigan elevators said they were buying more beans than they were selling." Michigan and Ontario are the world's major white bean producing areas and their major markets are ex- port. Although prices have dropped. Sershall said On- tario prices are still higher than at any period for last year's crop. He expects prices to remain high throughout the remainder of .the selling season. which ends in August, 1980. "The canners are pretty well supplied until the new year. so they'll let the elevators carry the inven- tory instead of themselves," he said. However. canners will be back in the market for beans in January and the price should strengthen. Sershall said 40 per cent of Ontario's crop this year has been marketed. The board now estimates the 1979 crop at 1.3 million 100 -pound bags, up about 100,000 bags from earlier estimates. Towering yield p�tential.
