The built price for am. monium nitrate in Pehruary 1973 was US a tom February 1975 it was $174.004M increase of $1b5 a ton or 152 percent. A common nivoglan fertilizer,, diomonitun phosphate climbed from $108 a ton in February 1973 to 3240 a ton February 1975, an increase of $132.00 a ton or 122 per cent In 1970, the price of corn was $1.23 a bushel., Today the price is $3.00, up 140 per cent. In 1970, soybean meal cost $95.00 a ton, today it is $130 a ton, =increase of 30 percent. In the spring of 1972, baler twine cost $5.: a bale. By the fall of 1974, the price had jumped to 329.95, an increase of over 400 percent. Surely, it is time that the government in Ontario put an end to the boom and bust cycle which has characterized the Agricultural community in the past and bring some order and stability to this vital sector. Initiatives must now be taken to protect the farmers from wising production costs. The very survival of a viable far- ming and agricultural industry in Ontario is at- 'stake, for Ontario is- slowly losing its place as the doreinant agricultural province in Canada. In the future, food production must be at its optimum so that we will be able to feed our- selves. However, the present situation indicates that farmers are increasingly leaving the land and our prime agricultural land is being encroached upon at an alarming pace by ur- banization. The required op- timum food production will not be forthcoming unless more stability is established in the agricultural sector and unless sbciety shares the farmers' risks. About 227,000 acres of far- mland are being taken out of production each year in Ontario. The Provincial Government has no land use policy that will preserve prime agricultural land. The Toronto Centred Region - the area within a 90 mile arc drawn around Toronto - contains 11 percent of Ohtario's best class 1 and 2 soils. Yet according to present development plans, at least one third of that land is going to be taken over by housing and other develop- ment. A recent provincial task force report called the Central Ontario Lakeshore Urban Complex report has concluded ,that the Toronto Centred Region Plan of the Provincial Government is unusable. The report concludes that unless something is done now a growing population and with a declining land base, Ontario may have to import 60 percent of its food requirements by the The Throne Speech back in March 1975 encouraged many farmers to believe Ithat programs would be developed by the Government to ensure that farmers at least got back their production costs. They were, promised some type of provincial income support 11) plan. However, the April provin- cial budget which alkicated 320 million to farmers for income protection and the more • recently announced beef -calf stabilization plan dashed any hopes for an effective income protectionplan. If the 320 million were allocated for corn growers in this province, it would provide protection of only 20 cents per bushel while current prbduc- independest Skipper to United •Co.opecotive of Omni* Livestock Dept.
