"Daniel went into the lion's den; Donald went into the farmers' pen. We heard his side of the story, and we're pet buying," said Harry Pelbssero,, .OFA president. Marketing boards are onsidered vital stabilizing mechanisms in Canadian agriculture by many commodity groups. Macdonald also received a barage of questions from farmers on his stand on free trade for agriculture, The OFA has con- sistently lobbied against the inclusion of agriculture in free trade negotiations with the Americans. Ontario's farmers fear the United States would demand the dismantling of vital Canadian farm support programs. Mac- donald agreed that if the United States refuses to put their own farm support policies on the table for discussion, then Canada should not have to either. FAIR PRICING Everett. Biggs, former Ontario deputy minister for agriculture and food and chair- man of the 1981 Emergency Task Force on Agriculture, was also a major speaker at the farmers' meeting. "It is fair to expect farmers to compete with other farmers, but it is not fair to ex- pect them to compete with foreign treasuries," Biggs said. He pointed out that the European Economic Community has persistently encouraged over -production of agricultural commodities, paying out over $24 billion in production subsidies in 1984 alone. "Excessive levels of support in the EEC" combined with "many developing nations' use (of) cheap agricultural exports to generate foreign exchange" has led to dum- ping of products on world markets and resulted inextremely depressed prices to Canadian Or eers," .Biggs reported, 13*isnot , the strengths NO weaknesses of alternative solutions to the fair pricing: problem. Provincial subsidy programs, he said, . "are extremely dangerous and hav resulted in competition between province and unrealistic growth in production: in cer- tain areas." Two -price systems "have worked successfully (but) the export, loss can be extremely high." In the Canadian ex- perience, "supply management works (and such) products have tended to have greater price stability than some other agricultural products." ..AGRICULTURE'S FUTURE A panel discussion ,moderated by OFA past -president Peter Hannam dealt with the future direction of Canadian agriculture. Dr. Kenneth Farrell, policy director for the Brookings Institute in Washington D.C., emphasized that technology, the external economic environment, and public sector farm policies would be the chief forces af- fecting farm businesses. Currently available technology, Farrell claimed, would lead to continued productivi- ty improvements and to rapid change in the production capabilities of various countries. Commodity and food product trade would become increasingly international, and would diminish the ability of domestic in- dustry to insulate itself from world trends. The spill-over . effect of other countries' agricultural policies would continue to de- stabilize commodity markets and farm in- comes through to the year 2000, Farrell con- cluded.
