Ontario dairy farmers who
produce milk for table use are to
receive an additional 50 cents per
hundredweight for their milk,
effective April 1.
In announcing the increase in
returns to the Province's 8,350
fluid milk producers, the
Chairman of the Ontario. Milk
Marketing Board, George R.
McLaughlin, stated that the Milk
Commission's decision late, last
year to permit an increase of 35
cents per hundredweight, ef-
fective January 1, 1973, was
inadequate and failed to cover
the huge increases in costs which
the dairy farmer has had to face
over the last 18 months,
"With the combination of
circumstances facing milk
producers at this time," he said,
"the only responsible action for
the Board to take is to increase
the price. Prices are guided by a
sophisticated formula which
takes into account factors af-
fecting production costs of milk,
as well as various trends within
the economy as a whole."
Although the increase of 50
cents per hundredweight
amounts to only 1 113 cents per
quart to the dairy farmer, it is not
known at this time what the effect
on the consumer price will be.
Wholesale and retail prices are
established by individual dairies
and stores in response to com-
petitive forces,
Mr, McLaughlin pointed out
that last summer and fall, dairy
farmers had to cope with some of
the worst weather conditions in
years. Apart from the short
supply of feed for cows, which is a
world-wide phenomenon, and
where prices have risen by 40 to
100 per cent, the quality of
available winter feed has
reduced the milk yield per cow.
To keep the consuming public
supplied with milk, farmers have
been forced by buy extra, ex-
pensive grain supplements to
provide the necessary protein for
their cows, As a result they have
been caught in a vicious circle
that drives their costs still
higher. The Board cannot
visualize any improvement in
this situation until well in the
1973-74 crop year.
Labor costs have also in-
creased substantially on dairy
farms, The matter of adequate
labor availability, both in
quantity and quality, is one of the
greatest problems facing the
dairy industry today. Returns
from milk must be adequate to
allow producers to compete for
labor with better wages, or labor
will not be available and milk
production will decline.
Other costs, such as machinery
and equipment, repairs, building
replacement, hydro and taxes,
have gone up substantially over a
year ago.
"Because of all these cir-
cumstances," Mr. McLaughlin
explained, "it is imperative that
milk producers obtain an im-
proved return for their milk
immediately. They need this
incentive and encouragement to
remain in dairying at a time
when other alternatives are at an
There is still time for Huron
County farmers to participate in
the "Planning for the Future"
Land Use Conference in Clinton

Conference is scheduled to begin
at 10:00 a.m. at the Central Huron
