Officials of the Ontario Pork
Producers Marketing Board, ,m
comments to Huron County
producers last month in Clin-
ton, 'continued to press ford
greater order and stock inven-
tories.
Their remarks echoed the
theme presented earlierthis
month to Perth pork producers.
Jim McGregor, Huron's
director on the provincial
marketing board, told about
100 producers that packers
"don't know what 'in hell
producers are doing'''.
He said.Yartners didn't know
what was taking place either.
• He said that was one reason
there wee 7,000 fewer
producers in the province from
a year ago.
Irr September, 47,000 hogs
were' being shipped to market
``,every week but by January the
figure mad jumped to 60,000
and the bottom fell out of the
market for producers, Mr,
McGregor said..,
"Producers lost a lot of
money ... for the simple reason
packing companies didn't' feel
they 'should go out and hire
more help to put through more
hogs unless they knew it was
going to be continued".
He cane& for.__a system_ _of,
- keeping an inventory, on stock
to give packers and producers
an idea of what to expect in ad-
vance, He pointed out that
pork and beef were the only
two commodities • that didn'et
lave such a stem.
"We have paid very dearly

these past few months because
we didn't. know what was going
on",he said.
Mr. McGregor suggested con-
trols on market fluctuations,
• such as the Chicago grain
market control"'of allowing
prices a minimum rise or fall of
25 cents a day.
He said that would create
greater stability but still allow
supply and demand to in-
fluence the market.
Keith Weedon, chairma''n of
the' marketing board and a
Paisley area pork produc r,
. was concerned that a sudden
unexpected surge of -hogs on the
market was so costly to far-
mers.
- He was hesitant to seek'a
solution . through government
subsidies but said a policy'
based on cost production would
benefit`. producers. He.
previously had told Perth far-
mers that a quota system
would ' be a step toward
blocking price fluctuations.
Mr. Weedon warned that
grain''feed prices would likely
continue to be high this year as
buying competition from other
counties continued as a result
of world shortages: Producers
will also face increases from
higher energy costs,' he' said.,
