Since some 40 per- cent of the corn grown in the province is used for feed, an agency board would not work for corn, the OFA proposal stresses. Seven points are outlined in the proposal, which Mn. Oke offered to the corn growers for comment. The proposed board's first. function would be to act as a spokesman for corn growers, informing the public and REAL ESTATE LISTINGS to BAILEY Real Estate Ltd.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT an envious man has oc- a to speak well of a deser- person, he makes sure that one is around to contradict producers of developments in corn production. "Corn growers today really have no one to represent them" Mr. Oke said. There are currently 11 men on the governments grain council, but only three of� them are farmers, he noted. United through a board, corn growers could lobby for terminal storage needs, transportation sub- sidies, tariff and trade equity, and research into cheaper drying methods, the OFA feels. The boards second function would be to negotiate and administer advance payments. Producer organizations handle advance ■ payments for other crops, and the OFA says corn growers could become ineligible for such payments without a board to negotiate and administer the plan. The pi oposed board would also be changed with the responsibility of negotiating stabilization payments for corn. At present "we're left at the mercy of the government to stabilize as they see fit, with no input from producers whatsoever" Mr. Oke said. Handling and drying - charges, which Mr. Oke termed a "hot subject" among corn growers, would also be negotiated by the board. Main area of con- tention for corn growers is moisture content. Currently, there are "no regulations on moisture content testing", Mr. Oke • said, and some elevators have been using moisture charts from the U.S. which are not appropriate for Ontario corn. It is aiso felt by some that drying and han- dling charges are excessive, and the OFA proposes negotiating a maximum charge each year as protection for growers. A fifth function of the board would be to negotiate payments for premium grades of corn. "Corn with as much as 40 or 50 percent moisture is going into some elevators" Mr. Oke said, "but those who bring in low moisture corn get no bonus on it". Extra money for premium grades often goes to the elevator rather than the producer, the OFA main- tained. The OFA also sees a corn marketing board supplying trade information which would aid producers in selling their crop at the best time, and working to promote export opportunities. Discussion at the meeting. often dealt with specific points of interest to individual farmers, .but Huron F of A president Alan Walper stressed that the growers were being asked only if they were in favour of some kind of group to act as spokesman, an -d that details would he worked -out at future meetings. nal G.
