The, increase of 29 cents per cwt, follows Mr. Olson's announcement that support prices would be raised on February 8th from 20 to 24 cents a pound on skim milk powder and 47 to 51 cents a pound on Canadian Cheddar cheese. It is apparent that processors will also receive an increase of 3 to 7 cents as a result of these increased support prices, William Langdon, chairman of the NFU Dairy Committee has stated that the 29 cent increase for the industrial producers, and nothing for cream producers it totally inadequate and completely unacceptable. He further added that this announcement fell far below the objective sought by the producers of the NFU. The NFU is demanding a minimum increase of $1.00 per cwt. "For that matter," Mr. Langdon added, "the price now to be paid to these producers also falls short of the increase which was recently being • sought by the OMMB," At the OMMB's annual meeting held in early January, the Board made it abundantly clear that it was seeking a 35 cent increase per cwt, for Ontario's industrial producers. Mr. Langdon also stated that the price which will now be paid to industrial producers could have been paid to them several months ago. He cited as an example that cheddar cheese had been selling since September of 1970 at a price well above the previous support price of 47 cents. Yet, he said, the producers have not benefited from these sales. Cheddar cheese has, and is still selling at about the recently announced increased price of 51 cents per pound. Currently at the •Belleville cheese exchange in Ontario, cheese is holding steady and selling well at 52.3 cents a pound. There is every indication that there is a shortage of cheddar cheese. Hubert Earl, member of the Ontario NFU sub-committee said the announcement "is nothing more than an insult to those producers who are affected." Mr. Earl went on to say that it was • Hay federation is reorganized After several years of inactivity, the Hay township Federation of Agriculture was re-organized during a meeting at the Hay township hall in Zurich on February 8. The new president is Robert Brodie and the vice-president is Donald Geiger. Directors named were Keith Love, William Rooseboom, Don Rader, Glenn Greb, Albert Erb and John Soldan. obvious that the OMMB was fully prepared to accept Mr. Olson's statement without a challenge, "How can the OMMB possibly claim that it represents Ontario producers when it allows industrial milk and cream producers to be sold short?" Mr. Earl asked. The farmers have made repeated demands during the past several years upon the OMMB to obtain a satisfactory price increase for them. However, the Board has made it quite apparent that this price increase which is now in effect would satisfy producers for the remainder of this dairy year, plus the new dairy year commencing April 1st, 1971. "The cost of production and living expenses has risen drastically," Mr. Earl added, "and this mere pittance being offered by the Federal government and the OMMB does not begin to cover the expenses we have incurred. Mr. Earl summed up the situation by saying that special meetings likely will be held across the province at which time the NFU dairy producers will decide whether action should be taken."
