FEDERATION NEWS
By J. Carl Hemingway
At the end of the year, as I
write this, I am forced to review
the events of the past. It has
been said that success in the
future depends on ability to avoid
repetition of mistakes in the
past.
That we as farmers have made
mistakes in the past there is lit-
tle doubt. When we were given
a support price of $25 for hogs
we were too enthusiastic and
paid dearly for our enthusiasm.
Fortunately most hog producers
weathered the storm without too
much injury, but few of us would
like to repeat the experience.
With a floor price of 17c for milk
powder we managed to put that
industry into a situation that is
still quite painful.
We would do well to recognize
our weaknesses. I think we need
to admit that we are the descen-
dants of that part of the popula-
tion of the old lands that was
just a little more daring, more
energetic, more confident, more
ambitious and more impatient
than those who stayed in the
home lands. We perhaps should
also admit that we are a little
more short-sighted.
I wonder how many of our
problems could be linked to these
characteristics. In the broiler in-
dustry it was these qualities that
made us jump from one hundred
to a thousand, to ten thousand,
to fifty thousand,; It is said that
we take three steps forward and
then two back. To me the broiler
industry is taking the two steps,
back, as is the dairy industry at
the moment. Hog producers per-
haps have accomplished this and
are again ready to step ahead.
Beef men are apparently going
from the second to the third step.
I wonder if it was the cautious
people who stayed at home that
has enabled Sweden to now have
the second highest standard of
living, surpassing Canada, who
is now in third place.
The passing of the horse in fa-
vor of the tractor was inevitable,
but would we not have been bet-
ter off if it had taken a little
longer?
An article in the Family Her-
ald which stated "Under its new
minister, Bill Stewart, Ontario's
Dept. of Agriculture is set to
launch a massive campaign aim-
ed at inducing Ontario farmers
to increase feed grain production
by 20 per cent. The biggest rea-
son is fear that Western Canada
will have another short crop."
Doesn't this "massive cam-
paign" fit in exactly with the
characteristic listed that has pro-'
ven our downfall in the past? Is
fear a good foundation on which
to base constructive thinking.
I have long advocated that On-
tario farmers should base their
farm operation more closely to
the production of their land but
it should be a balanced produc-
tion.
If the west gets rain in June
and July to up their yields will
Ontario farmers have oats at $30
a ton again? If feed grain is
short and "Buttercup" has to eat
hay it might well solve our but-
ter surplus problem. Produce
good crops, yes, but let's remem-
ber our weaknesses.
