Speaker Tells National Farm Union Meeting of New Marketing Approach Ata meeting sponsored by the National Farmers' Union, held in Dashwood Community Centre recently Leroy Stirling, Collect- ive Bargaining agent for corn and soyabeans, pointed out that the NFU has set many precedetats n the past few months and will continue to be the farmers' guide to a better to -morrow for the Farm Family. "New and untried methods of sealing with other sectors of our society must be experienced on the road to the farmer's economic security. We have witnessed in the past that no one else is prep- ared or indeed obligated to carry , the Farmers on their shoulders to the Farmer's ultimate success." It is with this in mind that a new approach to the marketing of corn and soyabeans is being intro- duced to farmers. "Farmers do not yet realize their true value to the rest of society, but are gradually becom- ing aware of their worth to the world as they become educated in this direction, " said Mr. Stir- ling. "They are reluctant to use the great power of their production against the other people in our society because of moral oblig- ation to produce food." The speaker felt that as far as moral obligation is concerned we are pulling other sectors asunder , by our refusal to organize and put a price on their products and thus be able to purchase with dollar power other products where other people's livlihood and em- ployment opportunities are in- volved. We must realize that the ec- onomic wealth behind us is second to none against any or the total of all corporate giants with which we will become involved. With this combining of resources by the farmers banding together in a Union, we will have a terrific impact on the thinking of the powers we will be dealing with. HOW DOES COLLECTI VE BARGAINING WORK? The mistake was made the last time an attempt was made to market the farmer's corn of re- vealing the amount of product tied up by their Union, however people profit from mistakes and this will not happen again. The method of bargaining has also changed in that no price will be quoted on the farmer's behalf as this has always ended up being the ceiling instead of the floor price. Farmers are merely being asked to block the number of bushels of corn or soyabeans and they are legally responsible to the Union for delivery of the product to• points to be revealed when they ratify their contrect. Bids will be received from proc- essors on the blocks that will be offered and if the prices bid ap- peal to the farmer, he signifies his desire to sell via ratification of the contract. if he doesn't wish to sell at that time or at that price, he can wait until successive bids come through to his satisfact- ion. At the time of ratification the farmer will be giben a confirm- ation agreement setting of the price. time and place of delivery, the number of bushels of a certain comodity that is being sold and so on, The farmer can ratify any quantity of bushels at any given ratification period where he will be kept informed of the latest market trends and utilization rec- ords. This method is new and maint- ains the right of the individual to accept or reject any or all prices quoted with the benefit of the best information available on the markets of the world today. Farmers, for the first time, have a chance to speak with one voice and say they will take a price which had better be much better than in the past or you can shut down the operations of many high dollar profit enterprizes, , . . We are sure they would rather pay than decay, 410011111100100 animal health service INJECT NEW VIGOUR INTO YOUR LIVESTOCK WITH SHUR-GAIN VITAMINS ADE INJECTABLE.
