quantities of cheaper
United States and
Mexican produce.
Because of the price
pressure of these im-
ports, the greenhouse
board must set prices the
market will bear, which
frequently do not cover'
production cost.
However, other factors
can bring prices up. Poor
weather in major
growing areas like
California can reduce the
crop there, bring prices
up, and' produce a better
price climate for Ontario
crops.
In 1974, provincial
greenhouse vegetable
growers received an
average gross price of
40.3 cents a pound for
their tomatoes. The price
rose to 50.2 cents in 1975,
dropped to 43.2 cents in -
1976, rose to 43.6 cents in
1977, and averaged 55.4
cents this year.
No one keeps records of
retail prices of Ontario
grown greenhouse,
vegetables but a board
spokesman estimated
those prices as follows for
the 1974-73 period : 69 to 79.
cents a pound: 89 cents:
69 to 79 cents: 69 to 79
cents: and 99 cents in
1973.
Obviously there is a
wider margin between
grower and retail prices
and less stability for
greenhouse vegetables
than for eggs and
turkeys. Greenhouse crop
production is not con-
trolled and the price is set
according to market
trends only.
Eggs and. turkeys, on
the other hand, are
produced under strict
quotas and the farmer
price is based on
product -ion cost.
Sometimes, as with eggs
recently, the farmer
prices can go down.
Mostly they go up,
however, as production
costs increase. '
Ostensibly, the
productionquotas keep
supply. in line with
demand to create price
stability at all levels.
`FARMERS CAN,
GET HURT
However, not all far-
mers are in favour of
supply -management and
price controls. Many feel
they should be able to
operate on their own with
no agency looking over
their shoulders.
And the system can
hurt farmers who don't
follow the rules.
Dairy farmers, for
example, are financially
penalized for exceeding
their production ,quotas.
The ones who stick with
the business enjoy the
relatively stable returns
offered by that industry.
Every system can be
beaten, however. The
Ontario Milk Marketing
Board up to now was
almost helpless to do
anything about a number
of farmers who over-
produced while most of
their colleagues sweated
°` under reduced production
quotas which made it
hard to pay the bills. The
same dairy producers,
however, are heavily
penalized for over -quota
milk. `
For the most part,
farmers under a supply -
management system, or
any negotiating or
agency type of marketing
board, are reasonably
satisfied that the boards
have contributed to their
well -beim.
BEEF PRODUCERS
REJECT AGENCY
There exists one group
of farmers which actively
rejects any type of
marketing agency for its
commodity - beef.
Canadian beef
producers are notoriously
independent - so much so
that they nearly drove
their industry into
bankruptcy a few years
ago while consumers
enjoyed relatively low
prices. - •
In 1975, cattle numbers
were at their peak in
" Canada and prices were -
accordingly low. During
that period, cattlemen
lost some $400 million,
according to the
Canadian Cattlemen's
Association (CCA)
because they couldn't
meet production Costs.
