The southwestern Ontario Sugar Beet Growers Marketing Association still exists and members of the executive with other interested groups recently met members of the agriculture Thames Road visitors A marketing program to be instituted without a producer vote and, to be administered by the Ontario Egg and Fowl Producers' Marketing Board is recommended in the Ross Report, tabled in the Ontario legislature last week. "The Ontario Egg and Fowl Producers' Marketing Board should be provided with the necessary powers to administer a marketing program with sales quotas and this marketing program should be developed as soon as possible," the report states. Agriculture Minister William Stewart tabled the commission report by Judge James F. W. Ross, Thunder Bay. Judge Ross recommended that initial quotas be allocated ac- cording to a combination of recent egg sales of producers and the capacity of facilities. In the latter case he recommended that facility allocation should be based on facilities actually in operation September 19, 1971. Persons with fewer than 500 hens should be excluded from the sales quota program, the report said. He said either the Farm Products Marketing Board or an independent agency set up for the purpose should allocate the quotas with an appeal system. Access to the market should be given to individual producers rather than companies who supply these producers with feed and pullets, the report says. A legal limit should be set on the volume of eggs that can be marketed, by any one individual or corporation the report states. The maximum quota, he suggests, should not exceed 30,000 to 45,000 hens, the volume that can be handled by an owner- operated farm with two or three worker s. "The Ontario government should introduce a system of government guaranteed loans to provide operating capital to producers, either through the Farm Credit Corporation or, preferably, through chartered hanks," the report states. "Guarantees on loans should eventually be provided by an organization of egg producers themselves." In dealing with the effects of supply management on pullet growers the report suggests that: "if egg producers begin to raise their own pullets because they are not allowed to expand in commercial egg production, existing pullet producers should be given protection against loss of their markets by allowing them to enter into commercial egg production in proportion to the amount of pullet sales lost." A period of some five years is suggested to protect pullet producers during the adjustment period. Huron MP Robert McKinley said Tuesday in Ottawa he un- derstood consideration is being given to building a sugar beet refinery in Southwestern Ontario but continued interest depends on a long range protective policy of the federal government. He said an inquiry to Agriculture Minister H. A. Olson confirmed the rumor but the company has not been identified. In the House of Commons the Huron member asked if a long- range policy was being con- sidered by government. He was told only that the present policy was an improvement upon that tax lifted Farmers and commercial fishermen will no longer have to pay tax on diesel fuel, the Field- Secretary of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture said Thursday. William Crawford of Clinton said he had been told by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture that the provincial government had amended enabling legislation introduced with the provincial budget at the end of March to exempt these two groups from paying the tax. The tax — 25 cents per gallon on fuel that only costs 24 cents per gallon wholesale — was criticized last week as "unnecessary double-booking." The issue had been confused by the fact not all fuel oil distributors had been levying the tax. The government had been facing opposition from the O.F.A. before it made the changes. On Tuesday evening a very interesting meeting of the National Farmers Union was held in the Zurich Town Hall. Lloyd Willert, president of Local 317 introduced guest speakers, Gary Davidson, director of Planning and development for Huron County and Bob Pegg from the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests. Mr. Davidson spoke on plan- ning the future for Huron County, providing access to the most opportunities for the interest of the most people. He said "planners like himself are basically interested in land use and explained the building requirements in rural areas, the extent of various beaches before they become private property, and many topics of interest to the surrounding areas. He asked for questions and new ideas for development and mentioned many meetings in areas, intended hopefully to receive new ideas which would possibly be more beneficial to the surrounding area. Mr. Pegg explained the wild life hazards, limitations con- cerning hunting licenses, no hunting signs on private property and etc. A lengthy questionnaire ap- plying to his comments, asking, "why could there not be a short hunting season, a more limited amount of licenses issued, and also why not ban American hunters for a limited time to which existed when the Canada and Dominion Sugar Co. Ltd. closed its refinery in Chatham some years ago and the sugar beet industry in southwestern Ontario became history. Later Mr. Olson explained that while Canada continued to import "free sugar" from the world market it has set a minimum of $3.75 per hundred pounds for raw cane, That price is nearly double the price when C & D sugar closed the Chatham plant. Present retail prices of sugar' would make the industry at- tractive to producer and processor alike, but it would be unlikely either would wish to invest heavily in it without long- term assurances, To provide these, it would be necessary for the government to enter long- term world agreements, something it has not done in the past. There are many problems involved in such a course, the minister said, and it would affect all industries which use sugar. Among these would be bakers, food processors of all kinds and beverage manufacturers. The federal government has subsidized the sugar beet in- dustry for many years, the minister pointed out, and it was not the grower who suffered from low prices in the years prior to the C & D refinery shutdown at Chatham. It was the refiner who felt it could not continue. Subsidies that guarantee the grower $15.98 per ton for beets with 121/2 per cent sugar content have continued to be paid to growers in Quebec and Western Canada, but it is unlikely it will be necessary to subsidize the 1971 crop. The return to growers is expected to be above the guaranteed minimum when final payment is made from sale of the committee of the Liberal caucus in Ottawa to present a brief urging restoration of the industry in their 'area. Presentation was not made on the official level but subsequently the agriculture minister was made aware of it. we force very strong competition from other exporting countries with much cheaper beans, although the quality was not as good. The price of Canadian beans is a factor they have to contend with. However, most buyers said they were prepared to pay more for a quality product and the canners who had used our beans preferred them to any others. "We believe this mission was very timely. The companies in the E.E.C., as well as the Scandinavian countries, did not understand how our marketing program operated. They didn't know we produced such a large quantity for export. We told them that with the type of marketing program we have, we can compete in this market." He said there is a good possibility that Norway will in- crease its purchase from Ontario. It is also possible to expand into Sweden and Denmark. "We could be in a position to sell into the E.E.C. sooner than at first seemed possible," he said.

T-A photo Consider sugar refinery Important contacts have been made in eight different countries, according to Philip Durand, Zurich, chairman of the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board. Mr. Durand was reporting to the board of directors on a trade mission to the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and the E.E.C. countries, accompanied by vice- chairman Lloyd Taylor, St. Thomas, and Charles Broadwell, London, manager. "Ontario growers have sold 60 per cent of their crop on the export market the last two years, 90 per cent of this amount going to the 'U.K.", he said. "Now that the U.K. has decided to enter the European Economic Community, we will be losing our four per cent preferential tariff over the next three years and will have to compete on an equal basis with the United States." "We have made important contact in the eight different countries visited," Mr. Durand stated. "These contacts will be beneficial in the future. Some companies told us that By MRS.
