Huron milk producers
meet for annual meeting
BY CATH WOODEN
The Huron County Milk
Producers held their
annual meeting on
Friday, March 28 at the
Royal Canadian Legion
hall in Clinton. Guest
speakers included Ken
McKinnon, chairman of
the .Ontario Milk
Marketing Board, M.P.P.
Jack Riddell, and M.P.
Murray Cardiff.
McKinnon listed three
points that the OMMB
needs to emphasize. He
said that the organization
-must remain strong, that
promotion of milk
products is important,
and that the total in-
dustry must remain as
efficient as possible.
He said that the federal
government is going to
reduce its share of dollars
going into milk
promotion, and as a
result, the producers are
going to have to "dig
deeper into their
pockets" to pay for ad-
vertis ing.
McKinnon reported
some statistics °con-
cerning consumption and
production. Last year;
butter consumption was
down 5-7 per cent, but this
year there has been a
small growth of .4 per
cent.
He said that Ontario
.milk •producers -have been
producing-_ 95 per cent of
their quotas. He urged
producers to aim for
shipment of their total
quota, but warned them
not to ship over the
quotas.
He mentioned that even
though 'the producers are
filling their domestic
share of milk, there is
still. room in the export
category.
McKinnon told the

that they can expect an
immediate increase of 65-
68 cents per hecta-litre
for industrial milk
products and that fluid
milk increases can be
expected in the summer.
Jack Riddell, M.P.P.
for Huron -Middlesex,
addressed the meeting
and talked about the
interest rates and how
they are affecting far-
mers. He said that an
average of 100 farmers a
month are going out of
business.
"The federal and
provincial governments
have to cushionthe
blow," said Riddell. He
mentioned that the
provinces of Quebec,
Saskatchewan,
Manitoba, and New
Brunswick all offer
"privilage,d interest rates
on loans to farmers."
"We are competing
against other provinces
for -markets, and now
Quebec has. surpassed
Ontario in all things
because of their
tremendous incentives."
Murray Cardiff, new
M.P for Huron -Bruce,
also expressed his con-
cern about interest rates.
"We all have to work
hard and cutback a little,
and be very' -cautious with'
our plans for the next six
months.
He said that he is
looking forward to
working with the
producers, and told them
not .to hesitate, coming to
him with problems.
Bob Ferguson gave a
report from -the Milk
Inspection Board. He said
that there are 1300 milk
producers. in Huron -
Bruce -Grey and that
during the past year, 2200
farm calls have been
made.
He- reported that there
is a problem with water
getting into' tanks that
could be due to the cattle
feed or something in the
pipes.
Ferguson, presented 26
gold, seal certificates of
merit to the top
pr-oducers in the county.
General certificates of
merit were awarded to
another 125 producers.
