c
Inquiry recomnieri
for egg, poultry products wIt
In a Royal Commission report
to the provincial government,
tabled in the Legislature by the
Minister of Agriculture, William
Stewart last Friday, Judge
James Ross of Thunder Bay,
recommended that a marketing
program for eggs and poultry
products should be set up without
a producer vote.
This was the key point along
with 15 other major recom-
mendations set out by Judge Ross
as an answer to the marketing
woes of Ontario egg and poultry
producers.
Judge Ross. was empowered by
the Ontario government and
authorized by Order -in -Council
last Sept. 19th under the authority
of the Public Inquiries Act to con-
duct an inquiry into the industry
in Ontario.
Since that time Judge Ross has
conducted public hearings�lcross
the province and has ' tladied
countless briefs submitted by
farm organizations, feed com-
panies, and consumers. The
inquiry sparked widespread pub-
lic interest and it has been
backed with extensive research
by a staff set for that purpose by
Judge Ross.
The highlights of the report will
be of interest in this area which is
one of the major egg and poultry
producing regions of the prov-
ince.
The major recommendations of
the report are:
Supply Management:
1. The- Ontario Egg and Pro-
ducers' Marketing Board
should be provided with the
necessary powers to adminis-
ter a marketing program with
sales quotas and this market-
Png program should be de-
veloped as soon as possible.
2. The marketing program '
should be instituted without a
producer vote. '
.3. 'The Minister of Agriculture
and Food in Ontario should
initiate discussions with other
provinces and with the Na-
tional Farm Products Mar-
keting Council to reach agree-
ment ' on the allocation of
quotas between provinces,
quota transfer and 'interpro-
vincial trade practices, and
changes in provincial ,mar-
- keting legislation; these may
be required ,.to ensure ,that
•marketinglboards in, all ' prov-
inces operate with consistent
objectives.
4. Initial quotas should be allo-
.satedaccording to a com-
bination of recent egg sales of
•
5o1
producers and the capacity of
facilities. An appeal system
should be organized to .deal
with unfair treatment fry
quota allocation. To the eX-
tent that facilities are used s
a basis for quota allocation,
this allocation should be
based on facilities actually in"
operation as of September 19,
1971, the date of my Order -in -
Council. Persons with fewer
than 500 hens should be ex -
eluded from the sales quota
program.
5. The Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food, in con-
sultation with representatives
of agricultural organizations
and marketingkboards, should
develop a; n.uhiber of guide-
lines to facilitate the intro-
• duction of marketing plans.
These guidelines should in-
clude definitions of a `pro-
ducer', 'owner', 'operator'
and 'owner -operator' for pur-
poses of quota allocation.
6. The responsibility for ' the
initial allocation and transfer
of quota should be assumed
by the Farm Products Mar-
keting Board or a completely
independent agency set up for
• this purpose.
7.. Serious consideration should
be given to adopting methods
of quota transfer in which
revenues from. quota sales ac-
crue to the Egg Board rather
than to producers, or alterna-
tively, methods in which the
quotas are allocated adminis-
tratively with no quota sales
at all.
Effects of Supply Management
on Pullet Growers:
8. Contracts for the purchase of
started pullets should be
made compulsory and bind-
ing on both buyer and seller.
Producers should be required
to contract for their pullet
supplies at least six'months in
advance of delivery:
9. If egg* producers begin to
raise their own pillets be-
cause they are not lowed to.
expand in commercial egg
production, . existing 'pullet
producers should be given
protection against loss of
their markets by ' allowing
them to enter into commer-
cial egg 'production in. propor-
tion to the amount of pullet
. sales lost. This program
• should operate for a period 6f
about five years to protect
pullet producers during the
adjustment period imme-
diately following initial quota
out vote
Minimum Prices:
10. A system of weekly minimum
prices to producers should be
instituted as part of, the sale
quota. program. Price differ-
entials related to the quantity
of eggs shipped per pick-up
should be negotiated with
grading. stations. Miriiraim'
prices for Eastern and No•'th-
ern Ontario should be estab-
lished in co-operaticin with
Marketing boards in Mani:
toba and 'Quebec.
Demand Expansion:
11. The Egg Board should . de-
velop a number of programs
to encourage expansion in de-
mand for egg product4.
Financing and Control of Egg
Production:
12. Incomes of egg. producers
should be impromed and stabi-
lized through a sales quota
program in order to make in-
dividual producers more able
to bear the risks of egg pro-
duction.
13. Access to market through a
sales quota program should
be given to individual pro -
14.

•
16.
dicers rather than companies
who supply these . producers
with feed and pullets.
A legal limit should be set on
the volume of eggs that can be
marketed by any one indi-
vidual or corporation. This
limit should correspond to the
maximum volume that, can be
produced on owner -operated
farms with two or three work-
ers and with integrated feel
supplies, Using this criterion,
in the future the m.aximtlm
quota should not exceed 30,000
to 45,000. hems.
The Ontario government
should introduce a system of
government guaranteed loans
to provide operating capital to
producers, either through the
Farm Credit Corporation or,
preferably through chartered
banks. Guarantees on loans
should eventually be provided
by an organization of egg pro-
ducers, themselves.
The termsc of contracts be-
tween egg producers and sup-
ply companies should be
standardized and simplified.
Huron County 'formers
oppose costs. of fuel
The directors of the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture
met last Thursday at Clinton to
discuss the problem of fuel costs
for farmers. A report from the
chairman of the Input Commit-
tee, Vince Austin of Dungannon,
indicated that there will be a pilot
project 'in Huron County to test
the merits of group purchasing of
gasoline and petroleum fuels. A
• group of 25 farmers will partici-
pate in the test.
Mr. Austin reported that in
Napanee, Ontario, this program
has already been established and'
farmers in that area have re-
duced the cost of gasoline by six
cents a gallon; fuel oil by four
cents and furnace oil by three
cents. -
A resolution was moved by
Adrian Vos, Blyth, and seconded
by Vince 'Austin that., letterg
hog- feeders -received ' ver' ' og
deficiency payment ;
that on a recent delivery of fuel
oil he was charged 25 cents e • r
gallon road tax. Up to the pr t. ent
farmers have not been charged
road tax on fuel oil. but interpre-
tation of recent legislation indi-
cates that this charge - will be
made under new provincial legis-
lation. Ifs this interpretation is
correct the Ontario Federation'
will oppose the regulation.
Bill Crawford,' field secretary
for the Huron Federation, report,
ed individual membership has in-
creased to 1,150 in. the county. He
also reported to the directors that
the office in Clinton is open to
members every, Friday, or can be
contacted by telephoning 482-9642
any day Monday to Friday.
Therefore be it resolved that
the Ontario Federation of Agri -
allocation culture request the Stabilizatio t
Howick Council to set'
•
•
aside $60, 000 reserve
• A motion was passed April 3 at
the Howick Township Council
meeting calling for 'the clerk to
prepare a bylaw . so 'that $60,000
can be set up in' a reserve fund."
Another motion of council ap-
pointed McGillvray and Co.. of
Listowel as the council's auditors
for 1972. It was also passed that
council have any bank balance
invested.
In other business the council
accepted the tile drain applica-
tion of Walter Good; •decided to
contact the Department of Agri-
culture and Food in regard to Don
Pullen when the zoning bylaws
are prepared for the town and ag-
reed to instruct the grader opera-.
