,The National Farmers'
Union Convention was held
in the Hotel Vancouver,
Vancouver, B.C. on
December 1-6, with a very
large attendance.
Mr. & Mrs. Casey Inthout
and Mr. & Mrs. Gerald
Regier attended the con-
vention' from local 317. '
President Jim Mayne
welcomed all and em-
phasized the good thrn-out
attending, also .explained
that the West wish to keep
'the Crow-Rate. The
Railroads have increased up
to 83 percent in British
Columbia.
Mr. Lang also spoke
saying "Farmers should be
able to negotiate on prices
for their products, but` it is
proven we have not been
able to negotiate, have had to
take given market prices.
The Mayor of Vancouver
Mr. Rankin welcomed all
attending, hoped our' Con-
vention would be a real
success and also hoped all
the attending out of prpvince
visitors an enjoyable stay in
their province.
• Mr. ," 'James HeWitt,
Minister of Agriculture for
B.C., said food production is
;up 80 percent, vegetable
sales up 32 percent, honey 28
percent, cattle 70 percent,
hogs up 300 percent. from
1976, net income up 20 per,
cent from,, 1976, 70 percent
increase In Heifers;
population is 172800 up about
double in the last 4 years and
they are also 45 percent self-
sufficient.
Canadian Minister of
Agriculture Eugene Whelan
addressed the group saying-
"I vi'relcorne being able to
meet' once more with the
N.F.U., it gives me an op-
portunity to bring everyone
up to date on what has been
happening on the Federal
Agriculture scene. I support
having an agriculture export
corporation, which I hope to
be introducing legislation
soon, that will set up this
corporation which will be
called "Canagrex". Opening
up new markets by selling
more abroad and by
replacing imports at home is
of importance for all the
Canadian economy, but it is
of extreme hnportance to the
future of farming.
Being agile to increase the
soundness of • their en-
terprises. More importantly,
it will provide room for new
young farmers to come into
the picture". Right now a
great many, young people
want to start farmift but
find there is no room for
them".
"If will be interesting that,
as new markets open up, our,
marketing boards give these
young people their rightful
share of the action. It is not a
healthy situation where the
pie gets • divided up among
fewer and fewer, bigger and
bigger operations".
"Canada is a big country
and there is room enough-for
all to prosper as our
economy grows". •
"Last week, I introduced
Legislation in the•Comrnons
to regulate beef imports,
when it is passed,the meat
import act will give' us
authority to set quotas on
foreign beef coming into
Canada. Both producers and
consumers will benefit from i
increased stability of sup-
plies and prices.
The Meat Imports Act will
permit in general, automatic
cutback's on quotas when
supplies of Canadian beef
rise and producers are
threatened with lower prices
because of foreign com-
petition, of course the
reverse will be true when we
have a scarcity of beef".
"I realize that this
legislation doesn't go as far
as the National Meat
Authority the N.F.U, has
been requesting. But it is a
good , start".
"Also let us discuss "Plant
Breeders' Rights", there
• aren't many topics at can
generate as much heat and
as little light as this' one. I
can't remember another
issue on which my officials
and I have spent such a long
, time trying to explain
something and still faced so
much misunderstanding.
This has caused much
argument, however, .I am
firmly convinced that the
positive benefits of Plant
Breeders' Rights far out-
weigh the bad features. With
the Legislation, there will be
more improved varieties of
seeds bred in Canada, that
has been the experience in
other countries".
"In October, I announced
that' Agriculture Canada
scientists had found dioxin
contamiination in some of the
2-4-D samples we tested.
Neither our scientists nor
anyone else has found that
particular type of dioxin in 2-
4-D. But we found three other
types. These discoveries
were first in the world, so no
one is really sure what this
means.
We do not yet have the
facts, we will make a
decision on 2-4-D when we
have gathered all the facts
we can get our handl on and
not before then".
"When reading your
booklet"Farm Policies of the
80's", I was struck by how
close your general
philosophy is to my own, I
was especially touched by
the following taken from
your Statement of Purpose-
quote "As farmers we hold a
