Wheat Producer's Annual Meeting
Discusses Importing American Grain
(By J. Carl Hemingway)
The annual meeting of the is serious this year. Some far -
Ontario Wheat Producers was
held in the Royal York Hotel,
Toronto, September 27. The
meeting was well attended and
the actions of the board receiv-
ed hearty approval. This does
not mean that improvements
cannot be made but real pro-
gress is being made.
After a year's effort with
some million bushels of space
at Port Colborne elevator the
storage situation is better but
still far from adequate. The
Board was urged to continue its
efforts to either find some way
by which farmers could build
their own storage or have a de-
finate lease on storage facilit-
ies.
The problem of low quality
wheat due to sprouting or rust
mers received as little as 70
cents a bushel for this feed
quality over which the board
has no control except that a
good price for milling wheat
does have a strengthening affect
of the feed grades.
The meeting recommended
that the board be given the
right to negotiate prices on the
lower grades as well. It is un-
fortunate that so many farmers
place themselves in the posit-
ion that they have to sell. Un-
doubtedly this 70 cent wheat
will return in the feed trade at
a handsome profit to the deal-
ers.
Everett Biggs, in speaking to
the meeting, pointed out that
producer marketing provides
the `yardstick" in determining

price levels. Previously through
energy, agressiveness and sales-
manship, you may have obtain-
ed a higher price than your
neighbour but that .in no way
proves that you got a fair price.
When producers are in the Mar-
keting business they are able to
assess the market and know
what their products should
bring,
In view of the much larger
than usual quanity of feed gra-
de wheat there was discussion
on the question of the importa-
tion of U.S. feed grains. It is
reported that five million bush-
els of US oats was allowed in,
early in August, and a further
quota of five hundred thousand
bushels was released since. This
importation of feed grain was
permitted supposedly to prevent
brokers from cornering the
market. However its result's
seem to be limited since grain
on the Winnipeg exchange is
still higher than. it was at the
time of the first quotas. It un-
doubtedly did help the large
feed lot producers and the ver-
tically integrated industries but
with Ontario oats currently net
ting the producers $40 per ton
it didn't do much for the farm
er.
Freight assistance also came
under discussion as detrimental
to the Ontario wheat producer,
and I was very interested to
hear since the meeting that
some of our large beef operators
are beginning to realize that
cheap grain means cheap beef.
Farmers who produce their
own grain -and feed it must sur-
ely soon realize that their costs
are the same regardless of the
price on the grain market. It is
the livestock produced on cheap
grain, brought into Ontario that
reduces their price and income.
