W. Monteith, at a meeting in Stratford' Saturday. Those taking part were: Charles Roney, RR 2, Dublin; Jerry Carey, Cromarty; Harold Scott, RR 3, Stratford; Walter Muegge, RR 4, Mitchell; Roy Robinson, RR 1, Britton; - Ken Flack, RR 5, Stratford, and C. E. Dearing, Staffa. At the annual meetings of Dairy Farmers of Canada and Canadian Federation of Agri- culture, held recently in Regina, Sask., the necessary dairy poli- cies were fully discussed and agreed to by both national or- ganizations. "Some of the • poli- cies approved are dealing with a long range program rather than with a one-year period. These policies will soon be pre- sented to the Cabinet and to the various political parties by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture on behalf of dairy farmers of Canada. . Although it is a recognized fact that these policies have a bearing on the total Canadian dairy industry, they are par- ticularly -vital for the Ontario and Quebec producers since the production -of these provinces represent approximately 70% of the total Canadian milk out- put, and since producers are facing very acute problems. This is • the reason why the re- presentatives of the main pro- ducers' groups in these two provinces have come to the conclusion that- it is most im- portant to bring to your atten- tion the acute problems they are facing, and the suggested Cow Brings•• Top Price A four-year-old cow brought the highest ,price of the day when purchased for $960 by Andy Maclean, of Cromarty, in the dispersal sale of the. Staf- scott Holstein . herd of James M. Scott, Staffa. The sale was held at the home farm, with Bob Shore, of Shore Holsteins Ltd., as auc- tioneer. The second -highest price of $700 was paid by Hooper Brot ers, of St. Marys. The top br d heifer was purchased by Adam Bell, of St. Penis, for $300. Milking age females averag- ed $410, bred heifers $250, and open heifers $183. Four head were purchased for export to Michigan, but most of the cattle were bought by farmers of the Staffa-Mit- chell district.

"Let's go fh here and seek solutions they propose to rem- edy this situations Because of the gravity of the situation, we feel that it is important -to ac- quaint both rural and urban Members of Parliament with these problems. These prob- lejns, 4n our • thinking, should be the .concern of the whole population since the price ,cost - squeeze affects the farmers, and is causing an alarming de- crease in our rural population, and the mining of our soil, which is our heritage. Our chief request is for a minimum objective price• of $3.50 per 100 pounds of, milk, basis 3.5% butter fat, accept- ed qualities.. (f.o.b. factory) for the producers on all milk used for manufacture. This, figure should be looked at as a con- sidered minimum requirement and farmers request this point be emphasized. This minimum requirement, in their view, must be fully met. Improvement During Year Improvement has been evi- dent in the dairy industry over the past year. Stocks of dairy products have been reduced to a point where they do not pre- sent a problem; production has 'been steady - while domestic consumption h a s increased slightly. Returns to the manu- factured milk producers should know an improvement because of improved market conditions, but this has not been so. The - average farm value . for milk has not changed noticeably 'since 1951, Measured ' against the inflated value of commodi- ties used by farmers, milk pric- es have decreased by 30% dur- ing that period. Over- this same' period, wages and salar- ies in industry have doubled and, in real terms based on the consumer price index have increases, 54%. k'armers have constantly .been increasing the efficiency of their dairy operations. Bet- ter breeding and feeding, better cultural practices and Mechan- ization have all contributed to greater efficiency. Despite mo- dern methods employed and long hours of free family labor, farmers have still been forced to accept returns that are not consistent with the general economy of the nation and cer- tainly not consistent with the high food, value of the end -pro- ducts.. The retail value of manufac tured milk products has not in- creased to any aipteciabl'e ex- tent- during the past ten years; and when considered in .,the light of consumer purchasing power, dairy products are now costing the consumer, . less of his earned income. Dairy • pro- ducers in the manufactured milk market, because 'of their high specialized investments and. pf the long term nature of animal husbandry are unable to -make a quick change and have been living for some time on the, depreciation of ,their assets. The same situation applies largely to all phases of milk production. • Economic Units w Recently, the Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture's.; repres- entatives have been stressing the establishing, by farmers of economic units of production. Because of • the diversification of farming in general in On- tario and Quebec, and the add- ed• stability created by the pro- curement of income from a number of sources; perhaps such -a program should be im- plemented gradually. The farm cash income figure for Cana- dian agriculture in 1964 was mainly due to the' large sales of grains for export from West- ern Canada. Taking a practical look at the 'economic unit, milk for manuf cture is at present a distressed commodity. ' Dairy farmers . are disturbed at the public • image created when asking for more assist- ance. However, labor has ask- ed for and received many in- creases in wages to which we •are not, opposed: The product manufactured goes up in 'price and absorbs the raise. Many large industries,. such• as min- i,ng, pulp and paper, transpor- tation, automobile, daily news- paper, ete., have been receiv- ing• vast amounts of Govern- ment assistance of some kind. It is almost considered an act of heresy to suggest that highly nutritious dairy foods be priced to return cost of pro, duction to the primary produc- er. Long' Range Program Consideration will most like- ly be given to some plan of self-helps by producers. Govern= ments, or others, with gradual- ly- increased prices at retail level, marketing • controls, and stabilization funds nn export- able commodities. A national marketing authority for dairy producers has been considered by dairy groups and is endors- ed by Ontario and Quebec pro- ducers. The national and pro- vincial authorities should be concerned, in our view, with fnarketi.ng policies affecting dp- mestic and export markets, mar- keting quotas, price supports, consumption, product standard- ization, •and protection against cheap substitute products. Pro ducei'a,• and federal end provitit •ttihi.. r, iri�tivetii,Wvn nfl nl: :•k•r©ce++X tion on the authority board would assure some equitable regulatory powers over, ail dairy products, Such a board eould have a stabilizing effect on the industry and could pro- vide information at producer and industry levels that could be beneficial to the implemen- tation of a sound national dairy policy. Solutions Are Uurgent Representatives of the On- tario and Quebec producers at- tending local annual meetings expressed deep concern about the serious economic position of the producers. Returns have shrunk . in the face of rising wage rates and farm supplies prices, rising cost of living in the country, and rising costs of improvements. Resolutions and presentations coming before the various meetings were un- animous in asking that' as a minimum objective the federal government be asked to sup- port the price of milk for manu- facturing purposes at $3.50 per 100,pounds f.o.b. plant for milk testing 3;5% butter fat and of acceptable quality. The mini- mum objective price requested by the producers may repres- ent a substantial increase in government assistance. Be that as it may, producers consider their request fully justified and its implementation a matter of urgency. The reasons given' and remedial action suggested to' obtain a minimum objective price of $3.50 per 100 pounds f.o.b. plant for all milk on basis of 3.5% butter fat and used for manufacturing pur- poses are shown in the accom- panying resolution and docu- ment. We are hoping that this pres- entation will give you more insight into the multiple prob- lems that confront some 125,- 000 milk producers. of Ontario and Quebec, not to mention milk producers of other prow inces who are in a similar situ- ation. Trusting you will give this major problem your fullest at- tention and consideration since our economic situation is cri- tical. The 'improvement of the economic situation of dairy pro- ducers is essential to the ex- pansion of our whole national economy.
