(519) 528-2103 PG. 26 THE RURAL VOICE, NOVEMBER 1983 The Ontario Milk Marketing Board proposed to promote cooking with milk with their "Cook Milk in Any Flavour You Like" cookbook. This would be promoted in the 1984 milk calendar and in consumer magazines and/or direct mail recipe booklets. The promotion will run until about the end of next year. The Ontario Turkey Producers' Marketing Board proposed to pro- duce three tabloids entitled "Turkey Talk" for distribution in Ontario retail stores. The board would also promote Ontario turkey through con- sumer talks, joint product promo- tion, television demonstrations and radio interviews. The time period for the promotion is April 1983 until April 1984. The Bradford Carrot Growers' Association proposed to promote car- rots grown in the Bradford area through bulletins to retail produce buyers and consumer representatives, recipe pamphlets, posters, adver- tisements and the development of a special Bradford carrot logo for use on packages. This promotion runs from September 1983 to May 1984. The ministry's Foodland Ontario program provides grants, based on the group's total budget, of one-third of the first $50,000, one-quarter of the balance up to $240,000 and a ceil- ing of $60,000 on budgets over $240,000. Ontario marketing boards, in- stitutes, councils, commissions and commodity groups are eligible for this assistance up to a maximum of $60,000 in any fiscal year for any one food product or group of food pro- ducts. Only Ontario -grown fresh or pro- cessed agricultural food products are eligible for the grants covering such marketing activities as media adver- tising, point-of-sale promotion, retail merchandising, promotional material and public relations. At the end of the promotion, the group submits invoices for their costs to the ministry's market development branch and the final amount of the grants are determined. Last year, grants under the Foodland Ontario shared -cost pro- gram totalled over $480,000.0
