to A-3 cattle from March 18 to

frog) March 18 to April 6.
Hill charges. that although
• the money will be paid to far-
mers, it is' a ,consumer subsidy.. ,
"The main.-' consumers of ,`
trade A bee are not people
with income problems. This is
simply a subsidy to the affluent
who have proved themselves
quite capable of looking after
their owa interests", he says.
'Beef cattle imports during
the last month" have
quadrupled'. More than 8,000
head have, came into Ontario
problem
during each„.0f the last three
weeks. The regular weOtly run
is less tha-n 2,000.
"The farm:gate price of beef'
has slumped to around $47, per
hundredweight. That's fat
telow the cost of \production.
Prodocers need at least $55,per
hundredweight to break eyeh",
said Hill.
"Because the cost squeeze is
so critical, the goveinment.
must ensure that,the benefits of
the subsidy go "to farmers, They
must not be sidetracked ,by the
trade", he stated.
