'Lullaby philosophy
•W‘
or lmaster of fate e
By J. CARL HEMINGWAY
HFA Fieldman
A very popular song of re-
cant years is "Que Sera,
Sera!" (Whatever will be, will
be!), I wonder if this is the
cause that Agriculture is fol-
lowing?
We hear a great deal about
trends in our society, social,
moral and economic.
Let us consider economic
trends only, I wonder where
they start?
In the fluid milk trade, I re-
member when there were two
or three dairies serving even
small villages. These were
usually individual f arm e r -
owned operations. There were
certain minimum standards of
health and cleanliness that he
had to ' maintain. Somehow
pressure was brought to bear
on government to have •these
standards raised until the point
was reached that all fluid
milk must be pasteurized. ,
The cost of purchasing and
operating this equipment eli-
minated competition complete.
ly in many smaller centres
and reduced it in all cases.
Perhaps this trend, for va-
rious reason, has reached the
ultimate in the broiler indus-
try and progress is being made
in the same direction in the
poultry industry.
Pressure the small boys
However I think a more ac-
curate comparison could be
made in the meat trade. There
seems to be some sort of in-
sidious promotion at present
to the effect that a serious
percentage of meat on the, mar-
ket is not what it should be.
And of course it is implied that
because of supposedly poorer
facilities this low quality meat
is coming from the small pro-
cessors.
However unfair this implica-
tion may be it has resulted in
e steady increase in facility
requirements to the point that
.people who should know are
forcasting the disappearance of
half our present livestock pro-
cessors.
To bear this out, T heard
only yesterday that one size-
able plant is presently closed
and is unlikely to make the ne-
cessary expenditures requited
and that two others are more
or less in the process of amal-
gamation.
Lullaby philosophy?
What is to be th reaction
of livestock producers in the
light of these events? Will far-
mers accept the "lullaby phi-
losophy" - "Whatever will be,
will be." Or will farmers turn
to a snore challenging philo-
sophy as indicated by another
writer of verse "I am the mas-
ter of my fate, I am the cap-
tain of my soul?"
Farmers can be masters of
their livestock production, they
can be captains of their busi-
ness enterprise if they will ac-
cept the challenge that is being
presented to them 1,3, Farm-
ers Allied Meat Enterprises
Co -Operative. It will require
sacrifice, but not for long, as
has been proven by Quebec
Co-op P'ackers and Nova Sco-
tia Co -Op Packers. It will re-
quire determination and ac-
tion for just as long as you
want your co-operative to be
a success. It is not enough to
pit "spare" money in "Fame"
shares. "Fame" must become
a part of your farm operation
to serve your needs.
