Tripartite pays bea ! producers $1.5 million Interim payments totalling nearly $1.5 million will be sent to Ontario and Alberta colored bean producers enrolled in the Na- tional Tripartite Price Stabilization Pro- gram. Cheques should be in the mail by the end of May. The announcement was made today by the National Stabilization Committee of representatives from producer groups and federal and provincial governments. About 580 colored bean producers in On- tario and Alberta, where tripartite agreements have been signed between pro- vincial and federal governments, are eligi- ble for interim payments based on 1987 crop yields. Kidney and cranberry bean growers will be paid $44 per tonne. Producers of other dry edible beans — Great Northern, red Mexican, pinto, black, pink, yellow -eye and Dutch brown — will be paid $60 per tonne. A stabilization payment is triggered when the market price drops below the support price. The support price is the price guaranteed to colored bean producers under the tripartite agreement. The interim stabilization payments are based on 75 per cent of the difference bet- ween support prices and their estimated average market returns. The 1987 support prices are $595.81 per tonne for kidney and cranberry beans, and $485.89 per tonne for other dry edible beans. Producers and both levels of government contribute equally to the stabilization fund through annual premiums. Administrative costs are borne by the two levels of govern- ment and are not financed by producers. The program was established last year to stabilize returns to the bean industry for a 10 -year period. Tripartite pays cattle producers $8 million More than $8 million will be paid in July to slaughter cattle producers enrolled in the National Tripartite Price Stabilization Program. The announcement was made recently by the National Stabilization Committee of pro- ducers and representatives from federal and provincial governments. All ppggr,ticipating producers in Alberta, Ontariii'hnd Prince Edward Island, where tripartite agreements have been signed bet- ween provincial and federal governments, are eligible for the $37.91 per head payment for the first quarter of 1988. This is the dif- ference between the support price of $84.10 per hundredweight and the average market price of $80.81 per hundredweight. The payment will help stabilize returns to the cattle industry which is currently going through a herd rebuilding phase. High feeder cattle and calf prices have been the primary influences in triggering this first- quarter payment. Producers and both levels of government contribute equally to the fund which cur- rently stands at about $40 million. Ad- ministrative costs are borne by the govern- ments and are not financed by producers. This is the second cattle stabilization pay- ment since the tripartite agreement was signed in 1986. Tripartite pays hog producers $5 million More than $5 million in first-quarter payments will be sent to hog producers enrolled in the National Tripartite Price Stabilization Scheme. Cheques will be in the mail before the end of May. The announcement was made today by the National Stabilization Committee of representatives from producer groups and federal and provincial governments. All participating producers in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, where tripartite agreements have been signed between provincial and federal governments, are eligible for the first- quarter payment of $3.14 per hog. This is the difference between the support price of $143.05 and the average market price. Hog prices, which were high in 1986 and 1987, fell to $139.11 per 100 kilograms in the first quarter of this year — $20 per 100 kilograms less than a year earlier. Producers and provincial and federal governments contribute equally to the hog tripartite stabilization fund, which current- ly stands at $120 million. Administrative costs are borne by the two levels of govern- ment and are not financed by producers. The program was established in 1986 to stabilize returns to the hog industry.
