Clinton News-Record, 1973-02-15, Page 10By Mr*. C.A. 'Trott '
Registered hog producers in
Huron County Wednesday
(Feb. 7) afternoon voted in
favour of a proposal to license
pork producers across the
province. The vote carried by a
vote of 70 in favour to 37
against., or 65.4%. Ballots were
cast at the annual meeting m
the legion hall, Clinton, of the
Huron County Pork ProdUcara
Association,
The proposal of licensing of
producers with a fee originated
in Huron County one year ago,
when at the association's 1972
annual meeting a resolution
requested the Ontario Pork
Producers Marketing Board to
study its feasability.
Bill Belderback, of Putnam,
an executive director on the
Ontario Pork Producers
Marketing Board, said
following the Clinton meeting
that so far, only one of 17 court,
ties which has voted on the
proposal has turned it down.
That was Perth which leads the
province in hog production.
Although Huron rates third
highest in production, it has
2200 producers, the highest of
any county in Ontario,
Producers in each of 15 coun-
ties gave a 70% approval.
Within the next few weeks, the
remaining 25 counties in On-
tario will have the opportunity
to cast ballOts.
If the vote is carried across
the province (a simple majority
would carry it) the proposal--
which is strictly a producer
one-- is open for discussion and
for amendments. It will be
required to come back again to
the producer for final approval
before it is properly legislated.
As it now stands, the license
fee, renewable each year, would
be $10 which would be deduc-
ted from the first shipment Of
hogs settlement. If the licensee
ships 25 hogs or less in a year,
application may be made to the
OPPMB through the county
association for a refund.
The executive director told
the meeting that- "It's a tiny
first step to identify farmers,
and to give them a legitimate
voice".
Huron County's zone director
on the OPPMB, Jim McGregor,
R.R. 2 Kippen, explained that
if the smaller producer wished
to opt out, he would be renoun-
cing all board services except
the marketing of hogs. "He
Would 'no lOriier have a vtiiCe."

The meeting was told by Mr.
Belderback that licensing.
would clean up the computer
tapes in Toronto which at the
present has 39,921 producers'
names listed, and that 19,251
of them did not ship a single
hog last year. Many of the
13,251 names are duplicates
probably fearful of quotas
being imposed. The OPPMB is
set up under a specific
classification of the Ontario
Farm Products Marketing act
and as such can not, without a
producer opinion vote, impose
quotas,
Belderback told the more
than 100 producers who atten-
ded the meeting that it cost
$10,000 a year to keep running
extra names into the computer,
names of farmers who ship lit-
tle or nothing, He' added that it
is the big producer who is
paying for the extra cost. "If
the computer tapes can be
cleared up, then we might be
able to come up with a valid
list of the province's pork
producers", he explained.
Under the proposal as it now
stands, the weanling producer
may become licensed by an ap-
plication made to the board
through the .county association
accompanied by the $10 fee; the
license fee will pay for services
such as the Market Place
newspaper, county grants,
meetings, representation and
private information for com-
puter files; the service charge
per hog of 60c will pay for
marketing and pork promotion
and will be reduced by the
amount received in license fees
(approximately one eighth of
1% ). The total money represen-
ted by the license fee and the
service charge combined will be
less than at present,-a board
estimate is a saving of $10,000
annually by reason of reduced
registration that cannot be
traced in the present files.
Directors re-elected were
James Williamson, R.R. 4
Walton, as president, and Eric
Moore, R.R. 4 Goderich as
vice-president. Lloyd Stewart,
H.R. 1 Clinton, was re-
appointed secretary-treasurer.
The annual meeting which
was chaired by Mr, Moore, saw
the election of Don Geiger as
the Hay Township director,
and of Harry Sheppard as the
Stephen Township director.
They will. replace Lionel Wilder
and Ken Baker„ who were
retirini. The producer elected
as alternate directors Ross
