Hill says farmers must dig or die
Farmers must accept that
their land is no longer their
own, Ontario Federation of
Agriculture president Gordon
Hill told the OFA's annual
convention this week. He was
addressing more than 500 far-
mers from across the province
at ---the Oshawa meeting.
"We must accept that for the
good of all the people in On-
tario, society has the authority
• to decide the purpose for which
our land can be used," he said.
In return, Hill seeks a fair
deal for farmers. He demanded
three chief guarantees:
- Assurance by the provincial
government that farmers' who
produce food on land locked
into farming, can "'make a profit;
- Special areas in each county
set aside for poultry and
,livestock production; "It is not
acceptable that livstock and
poultry units built in good faith
be closed down because of
odour complaints.";
- No more big city garbage
dumps outside the city limits -
"If our urban friends have suf-
ficient funds to squander this
country's natural resources in
such profusion, they had better
have enough money for
recycling."
Land -use legislation passed
in early summer gives no such
guarantees, claimed Hill.
"These three bills are ready
planning for development
rather than planning to put our
land to the use for which it is
best suited," he said.
He also reprimanded farmers
for leaving it up to the trade
and governments to find and
develop export markets.
"They have failed, and far-
mers may lose market- oppor-
tunities today because we've
sat on our butts," Hill said.
He called on farmers across
. Canada to unite, and take the
initiative in exporting farm
products.
"If farmers were strongly
organized today, I'm sure wre
could sign up long-term con-
ttacts", said Hill. "I'm also
sure. we could be selling a
larger degree of processing in
our export products."
However, farmers are losing
these markets. by default, ad-
ded Hill, because they are not
strongly organized to take ad-
vantage of—the seller's market
that exists across''the. world
today.
"Regardless of how efficient
we are as producers, if we do a
poor job of marketing, we are
throwing money away," Hill
noted. He told the farmers
present that the first step to
cornering export markets is for
farmers,across Canada -to band
together.- Then, they would be
strong enough to' work with
governments and"the trade as a
team. Success, he added, will
only come with an industry-
wide approach, not a con-
tinuance of the hit-and-miss ef-
forts of the past. He warned
that quibbling between provin-
ces over export markets must
end.
Hill predicts another „round
of soaring input costs 'at the
farm gate during corning mon-
ths.
"Farmers can exPect to pay
another $15 -million next year
when the price freeze on fuels is
lifted," he said. Ontario far-
mers can count on a 5c -a -gallon
increase on heating oil and a
6c -a -gallon increase on diesel
'oil and gas."
Hydro costs will be up
another 10 percent in the new
year. Fertilizer prices on some
analyses are already 35 percent
above last fall's prices. Hill
alerted farmers to the short
supply. of fertilizer', for the
coming spring, and the tight
delivery problems they can ex-
pect.
He called on the Canadian
government to negotiate with
the U.S. government to ensure

that C tnadian farmers have
enough phosphates to supply
their needs. Hill pointed out
that the U.S. depends largely
on Canadian potash and
natural gas (used to produce
nitrogen) to supply its fertilizer
market. Canada, in turn, is
deficient in phosphate rock
which is shipped up from the
Southern U.S.
Although Canada should be
in a solid bartering - position,—
Hill
Hill warned that Canada's fer-
tilizer plants. are divisions of
international companies.
"Our Minister of Agriculture
Eugene Whelan said publicly
that he has had discussions
with the fertilizer companies,
and has been assured that
adequate supplies will be
available. The integrity of the
fertilizer suppliers is on the#
line. If any of them fail to
follow through, their privilege
of doing business in Canada
should be withdrawn,"
suggested Hill.
He said that the hardships
created by rising input costs are
being intensified by the govern-
ment's refusal to halt inflation,
while the same government is
prepared, tn: hold down food
prices to consumers.
"This places farmers in an
intolerable position," he stated.
Hill cautioned, that although
farm income in the last few
monthshas been higher than in
several years, dimmer days are
aheat. -
"I'ds a fast moving world,
and we're living in the day of
the lobby," warned Hill.
"Either farmers dig in and get
our share, or learn to be
satisfied with what's left over
