growers present that the OFA
proposes only a negotiating
board with what it terms "low
level functions" rather than
an agency type board with
buying, selling and pricing
powers. Since;;some 40 pP'arr
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 Mr. Oke
offered to the corn growers
for comment.
The proposed board's first
function would be to act as a
spokesman "for corn growers,

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
grower's could become
ineligible for such payments
without a board to negotiate
and administer the plan.
The proposed board would
also he 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 also 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
