lap. No longer pan we buy a scrub
boar .at a community sale and ex
pect to Imprpve our quality, No long
er can we justify our actions because
it is equally as profitable in dollars
and cents that we receive jn our hog
cheque, to produce a B rather than
an A type, we must realize the de
mands of the consumer are for non
fat bacon and if we do not supply
it somebody else will.
Furthermore, at the Ontario Hog
Producers’ annual meeting Mr. Ben
nett, Dominion Department of Agri
culture pointed out the fat portions
that the processor removes from cuts
that are not A quality, after labour
costs and shrinkage in processing into
lard, leaves him with eight cents a
pound for a product he paid some
where over 30 cents a pound at the
beginning. If anybody entertains the
thought the processor is going to
take a loss, it would be good riddance
to remove that theory ... it must be
made up somewhere. Central Selling
Agency can do a great deal but the
farmer can assist a great deal by
having an eye for good breeding and
feeding.
Great emphasis is being placed on
pork prices today, so much so that
some farmers have lost sight of what
is happing to our’quality, The above
picture will illustrate three types of
bacon, which would you as a farmer
■ or consumer prefer? As far as 1 am
concerned, last week after purchasing
a pound of the fat type unconsciously,
I opened it one morning for the
family breakfast. My temperature
rose about five points and my im
mediate reaction was to take it back
to my local storekeeper and tell him
about it; then I began to think, "I
am the -manufacturer” even though
my name is not on it, The processor
of our hogs can do little about the
quality after it arrives at his plant. So
I am to blame and I am plenty sore
about it and absolutely refuse to
buy bacon again.
This experience is happening to
thousands of .consumers and statistics
prove that our consumption of pork
has dropped off by about 10 per cent,
A ready answer °might be . . . prices.
While this might be right to a degree,
national surveys today prove consu
mers do not complain about prices as
much as poor quality. And after los
ing a customer it takes weeks to bring
her back.
We have more to lose than what is
pointed out above.' Denmark pork
J products are entering our only ex
port market left to Canadian hog pro
ducers, that is the United States, and
competition is becoming very keen.
Worse than that, Danish bacon is re
placing Canadian bacon on our own
door stjep. So it appears to me that
in the very near future we will be
more concerned about imports
pork products rather than finding
port markets.
What are we going to do about
The answer is in every hog producer’s
and
it?
