(Canada) Ltd. factory zone ()theta and parts depots at: VancOuvor,Torontli, Mentreai, Hatitax, Gordonof Varna; a. member of the .proviecio farm income committee, submitted the following background paper on agricultural "POlicY to the Ontario Liberal Caucus Conferench in Guelph last month. "The main problem confronting agriculture in the coming years will be to find profitable •markets for produce of the land. Agripultere should be interpreted to include fanners, the businesses supplying them with inputs and the businesses • involved in moving produce to consumers. Agriculture no longer means only farmers but includes all those businesses providing products and services required in the . production, processing and distribution of farm products, Although farmers will continue to be hardest hit by poor produce markets, unsatisfactory financial returns to farmers will also .create problems ' for businesses that serve farmers. "Decisions on what to produee, where, when and how to market require farmers to be better informed than is • now possible. Accurate information on supply demand relationships fOr most commodities simply are not available tofarmers — until it is too late. Corn markets in recent months offer an example, In the harvest period of 1968 corn sold for $1.00 per bushel. In June of 1969 the 'price had increased by 50% to $1.50 per bushel, presumably because of supply-demand conditions. A healthy industry cannot be built on these circumstances. . "Many farmers need dependable advice on managing their business. Should they or should they not incorporate? If yes, on what basis? What type of records should, they keep? Who can help get. these -records • started and supervise them at regular intervals? Where is dependable income tax service available? Farin,- organization could logically provide this service, but if it does not, the extension service should. "A great deal of thought and discussion should Oe given to laud use planning, supply eagerileOt and related matters. Not because these are the only important subjects for _farmers, but rather because the other important subjects — credit, extension, education, production research, equipment, technology, - price support, production costs, ,,, quality control, grading, crop insurance, taxes, transportation and a host of other subjects are 'old hat' and accepted in varying degrees in most quarters. Supply management, although practised in most businesses outside farm and in some sections of farming, is considered by many persons to be a policy not worthy of farmers' consideration, "The term 'supply management' means arranging production tq satisfy demand. It is not intended to mean producing less than demand in order to see prices sky rocket. It is intended to mean preventing overproduction from causing prices to plummet. It is interesting tq note that producers of those commodities which have some form of supply management — fluid milk, broilers, tobacco and vegetables — for processing generally seem to have better incomes and higher standards of living than producers of other commodities. That is not to say producers of those commodities have perfect plans or solved all of their problems; however, they do seem to have made more progress and be on firmer footing than farmers who produce without consideration for market demand. At the earliest possible moment we should undertake a comprehensive survey of all market possibilities both at home and abroad. This may well require new idea's and a whole new approach, but we must not overlook even the slightest potential. Export markets must receive special consideration so that opportunities are not lost because of misunderstanding or failure to understand quantities • policy ill1111111114110111111111111111111 and qualities required or terms and conditions Of sale. New uses for farm products, new packaging and promotional ideas must be studied so as to make utmost use of latest trends and technology. "Pricing will be extremely important, Prices must' be high enough to provide adequate returns to producers; however, competition will be keen and our prices must be competitive. Should price putting result in unsatisfactory returns, we must decide whether this is a temporary condition which we are prepared to accept in order to hold the market. If our competitors have cost factors beyond oiir ability to match, we must be prepared to withdraw as there is no merit in business without hope of profit. "Even though our efforts to expand existing markets and develop new ones meet with reasonable success, we cannot expect sales to keep pace with our increasing ability to produce. Technology will develop at a faster rate in the years ahead, and with it our production ability. Some Canadian provinces still subsidize the clearing of land for farming. As a larger percentage of arable land, buildings and machinery comes under control of more efficient operators, production will increase. This is happening not only in Ontario, but in all developing countries, thus the strain on markets. "There is very little prospect of receiving profitable prices for an unlimited quantity of product, We have a choice; produce to the utmost of our ability and accept whatever prices are offered by glutted markets, or produce for known markets at profitable prices. "A land use plan should be developed immediately. Land with low productive capacity, located reasonably . close to heavy population centres snouts be reserved for recreational purposes. Where possible, buildings, particularly dwellings, should not be located on level productive land, but rather in more scenic areas. Some land should be put in a long term land bank (20-50 years) which may include reforestation. Only the most productive land shOuld be reserved for farming. "In this computer age it should not be too difficult to determine the gnAntities of each product requIred annually for home consumption, export markets, buffer stocks and food aid to developing nations, A system of contracts between producers and their marketing organizations, and processors or retailers can be worked out if we put our minds to it. Producers should be licensed by their own organization which would allocate contracts in accordance with historical production and ability to produce. "The mechanics and techniques required will not be easily developed: But with the brains and technology available today they can be worked out if we decide the policy is necessary. "It is time farmers and farm policy makers adopted cures to fit the problem rather than insist that farm problems respond to cures that are popular."
