B Y BILL DIMMICK„
The industrial milk subsidy
of 91' cents per hundredweight
recently _announced by
Agriculture Minister. Eugene
Whelan helps the consumer
more than the dairy farmer,
Chairman of the Huron County
Milk Committee, Bill Hough,
said during an interview.
The subsidy brings the gate
price of industrial milk, used to
manufacture butter,' ,cheese,
skim milk powder, and other
dairy products, to $9.41 per
hundredweight from $8.50.
Farm groups have . been
'asking for $10.
The reason consumers are ac-
tually subsidized instead of far-
mers is because it keeps dairy
product • prices in stores ar-
tificially low, -Mr. Hough said.
Consumers are not paying
what the products, are actually ..
worth.
Mr. Hough, w hcf° primarily
produces fluid milk, the milk
sold in cartons and bottles,
•
sells about 17 per cent of his
•milk at industrial prices. Fluid
price is $10,45 per hundred:
weight.
He said the subsidy may help
production of industrial milk.;
from dropping but cautioned
that producers Would probably.
still go out of business, and sell
their. quotas, I
In the last seven years the
number .of dairy producers in
$230 million a year. About $108
million. goes to the fluid milk
trade.
„ These subsidies are not.
,enough according to the On-
tario Federation" of Agriculture.
The federationreleased a
statement last week saying that
Ontario Miik Marketing Board,.
figures show that the actual in-
crease per hundredweight of in-
dustrial ,,producers wills average
only 66. calix s, not the 91 cents
announced by Mr. Whelan.
"Bringing the, price up to
$9.16 will not stop the alarming
rush of dairymen out of produc-
tion," Ralph B,airie, Lanark
director to the OFA said in the
statement. •
-The OFA produced statistics
showing that four dairy farrnerG'°
s.
in Ontario leave 'the industry
every day. Moreover, during
summer months, industrial
milk cost $10,80 per hundred-
weight to produce.
Milk production decreased
2.76 per cent ,overall in Ontario
last year, according to QMM•B°
statistics.
Across Canada th`e drop was
to 16.8 million pounds from 18.7
million pounds in 190.
The Canadian Dairy Com-
mission has purchased butter
from the United States -and
New Zealand in the last two
years because production here
has not met demand. ,
In Ontario last year, in-
dustrial .production dropped
18.69 per cent '4 '
