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 thirds of white bean farmers were covered by insurance 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 sales paying premiums of seven 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 per acre. depending on the price option.

Our 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 O ODE R ICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8 fxrsarstttccssw►ccc'x�plr' similar grading system should be used for beans."
