Commenting on the rec n ly
announced airy Policy r
1971-72, Wm. ; Lang on,
Chairman ' o the'l . Nati nal
Farmers nion's Dairy
Committee asked the question,
"Is ?tribe Minister Trudeau,
Agriculture Milnister Olson and
the Cabinet biting the farmers
throughout, Ca sada into some
. drastic action?"
Mr. Langdon said the da ry
policy only reflects the disregard,
they" have \\ forthe r♦austie
economic p� fight all farmers are
trying to c pe with in order to
survive. "Th'eir .refusal to adjust
dairy support prices may be the
final blow necessary to awaken a
sleeping giant across Canada.
Thousands of farruers.re being
f9rced out of production each
year and most, of -those
remaining realize, if Prices are
not raised, it is just a atter of

business, ` '
-Al-the farm of Bob Gibbings,

feeding program was • discussed
by Harold Clapp, Dairy..0attle
Specialist. .It was •noted that

were fed to a couple of cows
which were mil:king about one
hundred lbs. of milk .per'day.
The Herd Health program that

over feed cost).
In the afternoon, the program

low actual_.. cost of
producti n, as it is with almost
every ' pl duct • produced by
farmers, e said the demands of
the National Farmers' Union,
stipulated by dairy 'farmers
themselves across Canada, for a
' price of $5.75 per cwt. is
reasonable and justified.
"Mr. Ol Son's refusal to
consider or negotiate with
farmers proves' that. our federal
government has no intention of
retaining the 'family farm, 'our
privately owned and operated
production unit."
_Mr., Langdon said the
infinitesimal price increase last
February, and the decision now
of 'no price ,increase for the
coming s\ reveals that the
multi -n "� onal complexes.
perhaps have a great influence
over , the decisions '"of our,
government and the Department
of Agriculture. lle..said that too
often as was 'the case with the,
February announcement,rn-
'farers only get a part df the
price increase thus enabling
others in ' the industry to
capitalize at the producer's
expense: "
Farmers are a peace -loving,
reasonable group,, of people, he
said, but when they see the
farms they and their forefathers
worked so 'hard 'to build being
taken away from them, it can
mean trouble' in rural Canada,
Iseunique to anything ever before
witnessed. • The public must
become aware that farmers'
cannot continue to produce an
abundance of. quality food,
while they continually ' face
bankruptcy, as a result of
