F. of A. Fieldman Discusses Insurance;
Could Avro Trouble Affect Import?
(By J. CARL HEMINGWAY)
The Huron County Co -Op Insur-
ance Committee of the Federation
of Agriculture met Tuesday even-
ing last in the Board Rooms of the
Clinton Community Credit Union
building, Ontario Street, Clinton.
Sales records were reviewed and
showed that an ever-increasing
number are taking advantage of
the fine protection and service be-
ing supplied by this organization.
The new C.I.A. Life has received
its charter and policies are expect-
ed to be available through the
regular agents before long.
The committee and agents
agreed to arrange for a display at
local trade and fall fairs to pro-
mote sales.
I would like to refer to the
Avro-Arrow situation. Here we
have a large company suddenly
stopping production. The needed
equipment will be supplied by the
United States.
I wonder if farmers realize that
this could happen to agriculture in
Canada if large corporations take
over control through vertical in-
tegration?
Almost half a million lbs. of
chicken was imported from United
States during January. We are
told that the amount of grain in
storage there equals three years
production of Canada. It would
then be possible for packing comp-
anies which have counterparts in
the U.S. to supply our markets
with livestock for some time.
Broilers were being produced at
12 cents per lb. to the producer
in Georgia and these are within
shipping distance of Ontario. It
Zurich Manager At
Co-op Trade Show
Held at Ilderton
"Farmers are proving through
their farm co-ops that they can be
as progressive in salesmanship and
sales methods as their industrial
and urban counterparts," says
Bert Klopp, Zurich, Manager of
the Hensel]. District Co-op, Zurich
Branch, who attended the trade
show staged by the United Co-op-
eratives of Ontario at Ilderton on
March 2 and 3.
"The Co-oporama '59, as the
trade show was called, is the sec-
ond show to be held in the last
two years", continued Mr. Klopp.
The show was packed with sales
tips and ideas for Co-op manag-
ers to use to build a stronger,
more unified retail and wholesale
farm supply co-operative program
for their farmer -members and us-
ers."
The show had twelve exhibits
covering gardening, feed, seeds,
fertilizers and agricultural chemic-
als, feeding equipment, contract
farming information, grain handl-
ing and distribution, painting sup-
plies, tires, batteries, anti -freeze
and petroleum products, propane,
home appliances and barn and
dairy equipment.
The two days were taken up
with sales talks, lectures, and vol-
ume building sessions, as well as
discussion periods for co-op man-
agers and UCO staff from head
office at Weston. These are des-
igned to improve sales techniques
for local farm co-ops which will
benefit the farmer -members thr-
oughout by increased volume for
their "off-the-farm-business"—the
local co-ops.
Highlight of Co-oporama '59 was
the announcement of the new Co-
operative contracting program.
The new contracts, which still al-
low the farmer to be his own boss,
were released to Co-op managers.
Also announced were the latest de
velopments in the bulk delivery of
feed and the assistance with the
financing of equipment and appli-
ances that is now available to Ont-
ario farmers.
The Co-oporama '59 is being
held at Ilderton, Barrie, North
Bay and Smith Falls.
might be more satisfactory for our
processors to bring these in rather
than to produce here.
Egg production could easily fol-
low the same pattern as broilers
if this industry gets away from
producer control, This may be just
a bad dream but producers would
do well to retain control of the
sale of their product just in case.
Beef Producers
Bus Full for Trip
Huron County Beef Producers
Executive appreciate the fine res-
onse to their bus tour of Fulton
County, Ohio. However the bus is
now full and cannot accommodate
any more interested beef produc-
ers.
Unfortunately one bus load is all
that can be handled for touring
packing plants and feed lots, For
those who didn't make it the pro-
ducers hope to be able to arrange
another trip at some future date.
