Urge farmers
to hold back
dead stock
Beef and pork farmers were
asked not to give their dead
stock to stock removal compan-
ies but make other arrangements
in a proposal in a resolution
adopted at the annual meeting
of the Huron County Federation
of Agriculture in Clinton.
The resolution, sponsored by
Mason Bailey of Blyth, pointed
out that the meat from dead
animals finds its way into com-
mercial use in pet food and feed
for mink farms. If this meat was
withheld, he said, processors
would have to use meat from
regular sources, such as from
older animals put on the market.
The resolution pointed out
that beef producers are facing
hard tunes and governments
seem unwilling to help through
opening new beef markets, the
move would be helpful by
gaining publicity that would be
helpful in trying to get help
for the farmers.
"The pen is mightier than
the sword, he said, and the
farmers had better start learning
how to use the pen.
George Colclough of Clinton
said he felt the proposal was
impractical and blamed the wh
whole present situation on the
Ontario Government which was
giving special incentives to
farmers to get into the cow -
calf business two years ago.
The government, he said,
precipitated the present beef
surplus by its actions.
"If you're going to encour-
age a man to get in, you'd
better be prepared to take his
product, " he said. He said
the incentive grants only hurt
those who were already in the
cow -calf business.
Others disagreed with the
resolution asking what practic-
al way there was of getting rid
of dead animals if they weren't
given away. Several pointed
out that it would cost a good
deal to hire a backhoe to bury
