Producer questions plan Continued from page 11 Producers would sort out their De- i pigs for contracts then put the rest in the pool, driving the price down, he predicted. Knechtel said he felt the price grid would penalize poor quality pigs but he said the pool can be changed or more pools created if this proves to be a problem. Dave Linton of RR2, Blyth, said the plan looks good on paper but with producer-packer contracts still allowed and packers setting the specifications, “a year from now we’re going to be in the same boat with the same problem.” fTxFARM MUTUAL FINANCIAL SERVICES INC. 497 Main St. South, Exeter, ON.
