Cattlemen negotiate vote on beef marketing agency The executive committee of the Ontario Cattlemen's Association met with Ontario Agriculture Minister Dennis Timbrell earlier this month, and emerged with a com- . mitment fora plebiscite on recommendations regarding a beef marketing agency. The plebiscite will .allow producers to vote on the recommendations of the Beef Marketing Agency Commission established by Mr. Timbrell last January. The commission was charged with responsibility for designing a clearing- house marketing agency for slaughter cattle which would do away with private treaty transactions between pro- ducers and packers. Noting that the• market ' structure for beef cattle has • always been an extremely controversial issue among cattlemen, OCA President Gerhard Schickedanz said he is happy with the outcome of the negotiations. "This whole issue has been extremely ' controversial ever since `anuary 5th. Regardless of how I or anyone else feels about the' recommendations, I am pleased that the decision about the future of our in- dustry will be made by cattlemen." In exchange for the promise to hold a plebiscite, the OCA executive com- mittee agreed to circulate the recommendations of the commissioners to producers without prejudice from the association. It also decided that the 49 county and dis- trict cattlemen's associa- tions in Ontario should con- vene meetings during the winter to allow presentation of the recommendations and debate by producers before the plebiscite, which it hopes will be herd prior to mid- April.
