MilkVuota system studied
Agriculture and Food
Minister Bill Newman has
announced that he will
commission a study of the
benefits and the costs to
Ontario of the province's
participation in the national
milk supply management
program, '
Mr. Newman said, "I am
concerned about the number
of Ontario milk producers
who have run out of market
share quota long before the
end of the dairy year. We
seem to have an undesirable
situation in Qntario where
processors say they can't fill
orders because they can't buy
enough milk, and producers
have milk but can't sell it
because they've run out of
quota."
The minister has appointed
a committee to draw up
terms of reference for the
study, with representation
from the Ontario Milk
Commission, the Ontario
Milk Marketing Board, the
Ontario Dairy Council and the
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food,
Factors to be examined
include the size of the -Ontario
market and the share fille,c
by Ontario processors; the
effects of withdrawi-ng from
the federal program on the
producer, the processor and
the consumer; and the
possible alternative
arrangements that could be
made to the present federal
program.
In making the an-
nouncement, Mr. Newman
said, "I am in favor of the
concept of supply
management for milk, but the
federal government's ap-
proach is not working well in
Ontario and it is time we took
a very hard look at it."
The federal supply
management program, of
which Ontario is a member,
has been operating for seven
years. All the provinces are
currently members of the
federal program.
We're full -up with extra special Christmas
wishes for you, for Joy, Friendship
Cheer. It's a privilege to Vse'rve you .. thanks.

Farmers may have as
much as 20 percent of their
capital tied up in farm
machinery, but they may not
have the machines they need,
says Professor Ross Irwin,
School of Engineering,
Ontario Agricultural College.
Professor Irwin says there
is a lack of information about
machinery. Dealers and
manufacturers sometimes
assume farmers know more
about machinery than they
really do.
To help farmers become
more aware of the functions
of • various types of farm
equipment, a one -day in-
formation session is
scheduled for January 3 at
the University Centre,
University of Guelph.
The session will begin with
a lecture called "The Jobs
Machines Are To Do", by
E.B. Pridham, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, Simcoe.
Farm equipment dealers
and rrnresentativcs of the
Canadian Farm and
Industrial Equipments
Institute will discuss the
machines that are available
and the ones dealers can
supply,
Bev Hill, a farmer from
R.R. 1, Varna, will present
