George McLaughlin of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. **** ** Farm input cost is up by 20.2% while foodcost is up 18%. Statistics Canada. So anyone who thinks that the farmer is getting rich off the poor consumer will do well to look‘ at those figures. ***** "Canadian society is exploited by land speculators. Price of building lots is out of sight because of the greed of people with capital, who jack up the prices. Farm organizations must do all in their power to defend the land". Bruce 'McCall, manager of the Brussels stockyards.. * * * * Beef is a great family food'. value. And that values real yardstick is cost per serving, not cost per pound. It's surprising to learn, for example, that one pound of ground beef for stew yields two or three times as many servings as short ribs. From .the US National Beef Industry council. * * * * * The money spent by farmers pumps billions of dollars into the economy each year. Farmers make up only 5% of the population but they create nearly 20% of the market for basic industries. When farm equipment labourers for example, win a pay increase, that additional cost is felt back on the farm. ***** Each year a large group of farm boys and girls graduate from rural high schools and move on to provide educated, well motivated workers for industry and business. It costs the farm community economy more than $20,000 to feed, clothe and educate each high school graduat e. That investment becomes a contribution to urban productivity. ***** Five percent of North America's population feeds the other 95%, plus a good deal of other country's population. It is unrivalled anywhere in the World. There is some evidence that non-farm people are beginning to recognize this. All we expect now is that people are willing to pay us accordingly. fiuron Pork Producers want more stability The Huron County Pork either.
