The -Liberals -sent &task force on agriculture across the country to collect data last year. If you are going to listen to all the bellyachers and complainers who come out to these task foces, they will lead you down the garden path," said Daunt. He told Turner to remember what happened to Den- nis Timbrell, the former agriculture minister in Ontario who made himself available and listened tb complaining farmers. Timbrell lost his bid to become leader of the provincial Conservative party when delegates from farm lobby groups threatened by his policies. withdrew their support from his leadership. Daunt said there are a few farmers,who are doing well and they need to get out and tell politicians that they are doing well. "Make sure we are playing on a fair field, then leave us alone to run our business," he ' suggested. Daunt said he has the greatest sympathy 'for farmers who are losing their farms because it is„ more than losing a job or a business. It's a way of life. He commended the Farmers in Transition program of •the .provincial government and said the federal ' government's program requires more scope. Farmers need someone to sit down and listen, someone to accompany them to the bank. , McKillop Township farmer, Jack Flanagan, second vice president of the Huron County Cattlemen, said he supports free trade. "We have to have open war with the United States.'We should be thinking in terms of a world market." Bruce County pork` producer John MacAuley however, is concerned about trading relations with the United States. "Supposedly we have free trade (in the pork industry), but it hasn't prevented the U.S. from putting countervailing duties on our product. What does this say about what is to come if we move to free trade with the United States.." i..„).if,,,I.I.,„. t ' i,n: • ,;J �•,�at6. t ur;lli- t`ilrfnth rlt, s ■iii,..

'Ross Procter attended a meeting of local farm lobby organizations and commodity groups at the John Westbrook farm in Goderich Township on Tuesday, when John Turner visited the area on his summer tour - to meet the public and representatives of such groups. Procter said he has poultry and does mix- ed farming so he has experience with both supply management and free market systems. He began broiler farming in 1956 before the quota system was introduced so he also has experience before and after the introduction of supply management. Supply management works, but only for a few, he said citing the+example of the five or six producers who control the quotas for broiler production. ka "There is a profit but if you capitalize the value of the quota, you don't make a profit. We make a profit from the value of the quota but anyone who starts out today operates in a non-profit situation." said Procter. What farmer can'afford the half a million dollars to buy his quota and facilities, asked Procter who said he cannot sell to his sons "because it won't pencil out." Large scale type farming artifically pro- tects the Industry, said Procter who wonders how wonderful a system supply management really is. "Government subsidy condemns us all to a mediocre price," said Procter who sug- gested the industry move to a free market. He admitted there would, be attritions. "It's hard talk, but will you have a viable business if you constantly 'provide subsidy and keep everybody in the'business and over produce so no one can make a living .." he asked. 'Procter said he doesn't.feel any different about his daughter and her husband who are in the restaurant business where there is between 10 and 15 per cent who go' broke every year: In farming there were 500 bankruptcies last year and "we can't afford to keep them in farming," said Procter. Maurice Foster, 'federal Liberal agriculture critic, commented on Procter's remarks saying there is a tremendous pro- blem with value of quota, but he wonders where the free market is in grain, a com- modity which has been the victim of the cur- rent trade war with the European Economic Community. Foster said with all the difficulties there are with a supply management system, ver- tical integration in. Canada is in no way as bad as it .is in the United States, where you • have a large plant in the Carolinas and Georgia shipping eggs all over Canada and the United States. • t Federal Liberal party leader John Turner posed for this picture with a group of young clowns and commented that the scene reminded him of the House of Commons in Ottawa. The clowns were much in evidence at federal riding association's Lunch in the Park with Turner event here Tuesday.
