The Huron Expositor, 1962-05-17, Page 3• • • • • • • A • • • • HURON FEDERATION NEWS There has been a "creat deal of speculation regarding the drafting of a Milk Marketing Plan. The following is the lat- est news on the question. A. .concerted effort by the combined four Ontario milk and cream groups is now being made to develop a marketing plan which fully benefits the best interests of all producers of milk and cream in Ontario. Discussions' and conferences have been occurring regularly during the past three months. At the outset, the four producer groups executives assumed an advisory role. During recent weeks a Provisional Board of 13 members has been appoint- ed to complete working out the details of the plan. This board is composed of three members from each of the four group executives, and one member from the Channel Island Breeds Milk Producers Association. The executives of the four producer groups, plus one pro- ducer representing the United Dairy and Poultry Co-operative, and one producer representing the Channel Island Breeds Milk Producer Association, will, con- tinue their advisory role on a board to be known • as the On- tario Milk and Cream Produc- ers Advisory Board. When the details of the plan are completed, the Provisional Board will request the Ontario Milk Industry Board to take a vote of all producers. In preparation for the vote, the Provisional Board intends to fully inform all milk and cream producers in Ontario on the particulars of the plan, and give all full opportunity to stu- dy its merits before they are called uponto vote. If the plan is approved, it will be administered by the Provisional Board in its initial ArnoldSTINNISSEN Sim Life Assurance Company of Canada Telephone: 852 R 12 R.R. 5 - SEAFORTH ODORLESS CLEAN BURNING FURNACE OIL STOVE OIL D.

The Ontario Hog Producers Marketing Board has -Categori- cally denied allegatiotl0. that any of .the funds derived from the levy have been used to pur- chase shares in FAME or that any association grants have been used for this purpose. There have been printed re- ports that the board or monies collected by the bpard had been used to ' buy shares in FAME (Farmers Allied Meat Enter- prises Co-operative); but this was denied by -E`ldred Aiken, chairman of the board, at the last Members' meeting of the OFA. At least, at that time he said he had no knowledge of such action and one assumes that the chairman would know. Now he has investigated thor- oughly and, not only has the board- not bought shares, but they have ascertained that any grants made to the producers association and through it to county associations, have not been so used. Grey, County hog producers apparently were thinking of buying some shares in FAME with funds they had accumulat- ed in their expense grant. Coun- ty associations receive travel expenses for delegates attend- ing annual and special meetings and some of the Grey produc- ers had paid their own expens- es so the county association had built up a little reserve, and somebody suggested• it be used to buy FAME shares. However, this was not don - nd Mr. Aik- en has assured im f'that no other count associ tion, nor the provin tal association, nor the board (which he knew be- fore) has. sed producers money collected i the levy to buy FAME shares. The levy was raised from 40 to 50 cents Monday, May 14, by order of the Ontario Farm Pro- ducts Marketing Board. The lo- cal hog board had recommend- ed the increase because of in- creased operating costs. While denying the purchase of FAME shares by the various hog producers organizations, Mr. Aiken made itclear that he and the board supported FAME and many were person- ally shareholders. We',ve heard nothing from FAME, by rthe way, since the' announcement a month ago of the. retaining of the U.S. pacing house consult- ants, except rumours about plant locations all over Ontario. Announcement of the location of the initial plant was promis- ed soon after this appointment but nothing 'has yet been releas- ed. We imagine the consult- ants would need considerable. time to assess the situation be- fore making any such important recommendation. The Ontario Broiler Growers are continuing to try to develop a marketing plan despite the opposition of processors to any marketing plan and their speci- fic objections to the suggestions made thus far. Once again, we must point out that no plan is developed yet. A11 we have are suggestions about what a plan should contain. This is the pro- cedure in developing any mar- keting scheme, but so many farmers seem to get the idea from somebody that this is IT when they first hear sugges- tions or a recommended basis for a plan. Every producer will have ample opportunity to stu- dy the proposed plan before any vote is held. The OFA passed a resolution at the last Member's meeting asking the OFPMB to provide an adequate waiting period between the time a vote is announced and the time it ' is actually held. We're certain this will be done BROOHVENIlEWS t1F,THE llEk'K. Mr; Harold Illi sen sold his cementing business to ¥r, Floyd Brown, near Monkton.
