He added, "the amount could
vary from 20,000 to 200,000
bags."
In answer to several ac-
cusations about Kean
deliveries to Michigan and a
bonus possibly being paid for
top grade beans, Broadwell
replied "you tell us who these
people are and we will
prosecute."
Later in the meeting a
motion to have the shortage
responsibility accepted by the
hoard was soundly defeated.
Chairman of the meeting
Gordon Hill told the press
Monday, "one of the points
brought out in considerable
discussion was the share of
financial responsibility which
should fall on the grower who
was not able to harvest his
crop and was paid by crop
,urancl..
In addition Hill said, "all
four Huron directors are in
favour of a grading system
but one point not brought up
was the need fora different
pool for every grade."
Directors and manager
Broadwell were concerned
with the lack of 'suitable
beans needed for 1978 plan-
ting. Broadwell said he
thought only about one-half of
the necessary seed is now
available. He added, "again
it depends on the amount and
quality of beans still on the
farms.
Insurance Claims Paid
Helmut Loewede of the
Ontario Crop Insurance
Commission said more than 7
million dollars° has been paid
to date for white bean claims.
Helmut said about two

A long time director on the
Ontario Bean Producers
Marketing Board, Phil
Durant of • Zurich, did not
qualify for re-election at
Friday's annual meeting at
Hensall and criticized the
present board for their ac-
tions during the past year.
Durand Commented, "the
board has done very little to
improve marketing con-
ditions. Many recom-
mendations were not im-
plemented."
"All major policy decisions
were made to satisfy dealers.
We need strong directors to
counteract the dealers," he
continued.
"There should be more
precise information available
from dealers to the board. We
don't kno(v what dealers have
in their elevators in volume
and quality. Some dealers are
buying on their own ac-
count."
"Producers have a
challenge. The government
has given us power under the
Marketing Board, but we

million dollars. The same
amount is paid by the
government.
The insurance man said he
expected that all claims
would be completed in the
next three weeks and should
reach close to 10 million. He
added, "the amount of claims
tells us what kind of year you
had."
He said insurance
premiums could be up by
about 25 per cent for 1978
crops. The premium this past
year was in the range of $5.50

policies and programs must
not set up loopholes," con-
cluded Durand.
Durand was replaced as a
director for Huron by Varna
farmer Glenn Hayter.
Returned were present
directors Bob Allan, Murray
Cardiff and Joe Miller.
Bob Allan agreed there
was dissension on the board
but added, "every decision is
complicated."
Allan informed that before
agency Ontario prices were
$1 less than Michigan and
now they are $l more.
On the subject of grading,
director Joe Miller said,
"beans should be properly
identified when taken by
dealers who are agents of the
board."
Miller continued, "Growers
of No. 1 beans shouldn't have
to wait for their money until
lower grades are sold. The
board has powers to im-
plement grading tomorrow."
The successful new director
Glen Hayter said he sup-
ported grading. He added,
"we sell hogs on index, a
