to' cropprodeetION
n taking the comparable
gurc of the 1974 COMO
improv,ed farm land in Ontario
hehiglkffed for crop production
and dedUctinfit the 1970 Owes
from the 1960 figurts. Then, the
total number of imorsin eat 10
-
year mriod was divided into
,the difference in the figures.
"The economist who did the
calculations have been
questioned re: the folldwing
11) la what are/is of the
province did the loss occur?
"Answer: Don't knew.
..(2) Was the land lost to
industrial, commercial or
residential development?
"Anwer: No idea - dont
knOw.
"(3) What proportion of land
was lost for roads and highway
'construction? „
"Answer:Dont know.
"(4) What acreage of land
was left idle by farmers who
continued to live on the land but
obtained employment off the
land due to low farm prices of
late 60's and early 70's?
"Answer: No figures
available, but acknowledged it
could be substantiaL
"(5) What .acreage was
purchased by urbanites
wishing to live in the country -
while commuting to urban
employment?
"Answer: No figures
available but acknowledged it
was substantial - Le, North
York County, Ontario County,
Dufferirt:"Cimty, South Grey
County.
"(6) What acreage of land in
Eastern Ontario had been sold
Montrealers who wished to
live in Ontario while com-
muting to employment in the
Province of Quebec?
"Answer: Agreed the figure
was substantial clue tothe FLQ
concern but had nofigures.
-(7) What acreage . was
abandoned in N-orth Renfrew
and the districts of Northern
Ontario where farms were left
idle while former farmers and
their families took good -paying
jobs- in the pulp, lumber
• manufacturing. and mining
industries?
"Answer: No figures
available but agreed it was
substantial due, to increased
employment opportunities and
higher wages being offered.
"From the above, it can be
determined that much of the
land not producing crops in 1970
was being left idle because of
relatively poorprices for farm
products.
"Eg corn. SI to SI .25 a
bushel; barley, 95c to $) a
bushel: oats, 70c to 90c a
bushel: eggs. 3 doz. kr $1;
hogs, $19 to $25 a cwt. dressed
weight; beef cattle 28c to 31c lb.
live weight..
"It should also be remem-
bered that in the late 60's and
early 70's the' Federal
Government was paying far -
'triers in the three Western
Provinces not ,to grow grain
crops due to the mountains of
surplus grain for which there
was no market anywhere in the
world. The program was known
as ['Lower Inventories for
Tomorrow -
"The truth of the matter is
that with export sales
developing in 1972 resulting in
the higher grain and food prices
of '1973,, much of the idle land of
1910 -has been put back into
production with increased corn
acreage of several hundred
thousands,.increased barley,
soybeani, white beans,
vegetable crops such as
asparagus. canning beets,
carrots, pumpkin4 squash,
sweet corn, and snap beans.
"Stephen Lewis is using
figures at least five years old -
developed from the Census of
1970 and calculated in 1971
when it paid farmers more not
to grow crops than to actually
*rnipnme agricultural land.
*Today. with corn at $3. a
bushel, hogs at $80 a cwt., eggs
at *10c a dozto the prodUcer,
milk at $10 to $12 a cwt. and
beef at 42c to .48e a Ib.
