Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - July 19, 1969, Winnipeg, Manitoba Pali Les future Winnie to Prie press. Saturday. July 19, 1969 Olson Impi 11 divided by Pat Carney one in a series Ottawa special federa agricultural minister h a Bud Olson has the gloomy countenance of a Hereford and the Etc naj optimism of a Farmer. Discussing Canada s Monu mental wheat glut he says i be been through this four times in my life Ami it always has changed. So Over the Long term i Don t feel wheat markets will decline although we May go through a painful Industry minister Jean Luc Pepin is a French Canadian who with the Candor which has won the respect of Western Oil men admits he is just learning about the problems of the Western Farmer. The really fundamental Issue is whether we As a country can live an Industry that is going to rely on unforeseen events in the world such As droughts and he says. Personally 1 think we have to admit that normally the wheat Market will take Only so Many Hundred million bushels and establish controls of some this conflict of opinion Between the two Cabinet ministers most responsible for wheat indicates the Range of Cabinet debate on the future of Hie Prairies impoverished by the slowdown in wheat sales. The current problem is an income one. The discussion is whether and How the Federal government is going to make a contribution to the Western says or. Pepin. But the Long term problem is obscured by the fact that each possible solution brings its own special attendant difficulties. The controls suggested by or. Pepin imply restrictions on acreage planted to wheat which this year will account for about Jug million acres of the 80 million acres in production in Canada. This Spring the Federal task Force on agriculture recommended that wheat acreage should be Cut to 20 million acres by 1980, with the released land planted to other crops in demand b y the Market. But or. Olson argues we re still Only 24 months from a period when wheat was at its Peak and i Don t think thai is a fair enough lest. The u. S. Has acreage control but Canadian Farmers Haven t accepted that and Haven t needed the a. S. Experience also shows that when their acreage is restricted Farmers concen trate on ways of increasing yields from their remaining wheat lands. Both or. Olson and or. Pepin agree the Market for Canada s wheat depends on weather foreign policies of importing countries and other variables fiver which we have no control. Or. Olson feels the european common Market countries can t maintain their present Levels of support for their own agricultural producers although he admits he can see no immediate change. But or. Pepin says the decision to go for exceptional sales seems to me to be an uncomfortable Way of there is general agreement among agricultural experts and or. Pepin can make the word expert sound like a sneer that Canada should divert More of her agricultural resources to coarse grains and livestock. During the Post War years 1he economic Council of Canada estimates that wheat accounts for 20 25 per cent of Cash farm income with 15 20 per cent from other crops 30 per cent from livestock 1 per cent from Dairy products and .10 per cent from poultry. But coarse grains arc less valuable than wheat and prices fluctuate considerably. Most of Canada s present production is sold in the Dom Estic Market where growth is limited to increases in Popula Tion and to the greater meat consumption which accompanies rising standards of living. And while Deputy minister of agriculture w. E. Jarvis main trans full Confidence in the ability of Canadian producers to compete in Export markets other countries enjoy More favourable climatic conditions for Cereal crops. Optimism Over the future of livestock in which Canada is largely self sufficient is based on increased population and rising per capita consumption agricultural officials estimate that the Domestic Market will take 40 per cent More beef by 1980 even if per capita con sumption does not Rise. However there is already a shortage of feeder cattle which partly accounts for recent increases in beef prices and established cattle ranges Are fully stocked. Feeder cattle prices Are not yet High enough to profitably convert higher priced land into cow and calf operations. Says or. Olson who has v saws Canada s insistence to hold to the Iga Price Levels in face of world wide Price cutting until March 14 when or. Pepin abandoned it with the Iga Price Structure officially collapsed this week when Pepin returned from a washing ton meeting of the major exporting nations and announced that the Iga mini mums Are to be temporarily or. Pepin agrees Canada s abortive Effort to stick to the Iga prices lost us some sales. But he insists that in the omy As it can stand. If we push livestock by making credit available for instance the Competition for Breeding Stock will increase and prices will go up to uneconomic i what emerges from this kind of debate is the abysmal Lack of research which has been under taken in one of Canada s major industries. The Federal task Force report states it is distressing to note that Only 7.3 per cent of the total agricultural research Effort in Canada is devoted to agricultural economics research worse still Only 1.4 per cent of All agricultural research is devoted to the area of marketing. Little to keep wheat prices High. The european common mar Ket countries for instance impose levies on Grain imports and use the proceeds to subsidize Export shipments. Each time we bring the Price Down we increase the capacity of the common Market countries to subsidize exports and capture even larger shares of our markets. Why the French subsidy for Barley is higher than tie Price of the commodity at or. Pepin said. The real purpose of the Iga is to have minimum and maximum prices for orderly marketing which is to the advantage of both the exporting and importing countries. What deadlock on rules remains Ottawa up backstage in the commons have thus far failed to find a Way out of a deadlock on new rules. Debate on the rules Issue resumes Mon Day. Opposition panics remained United Friday in their determination to fight to the finish against one proposal that would i allow the government to limit debating time on Public Bills. The government gave no Indica Tion it intends to Back Down either. The stalemate is Over pack age of Rule changes proposed by the House committee on proce Dure and supported by the government. The package contains three parts. Proposed Rule 75a pro Vides for debating limits where All four parties agree 75b for limits when three of the four agree. The contentious one. 75c. Would empower the government to act alone in allocating time where inter party consultations have failed. Crowds gather on a Bridge Over the Seine River to watch Hunt for suspect. Economic Council of Canada noted that in rough terms the u. S. Allocates about two research workers per million acres of wheat while Canada provides Only one. If we know we can Only Market a certain amount of wheat we should know where expected of them and Are cutting each other s he adds. With the Iga Structure in shambles the Canadian federa Tion of agriculture has advocated Grain producers receive the Iga minimum on All Export sales and that a two Price policy Ticac we Sonuia know were y. J can produce it at the lowest be to _ 11 possible Cost and the same with livestock. But we Don t even have enough data to this kind of one economist explains. The department of agriculture is doing initial work in this Field and an economic Council study on regional advantages should be ready by fall. Given the oversupply prob Lem Canada s decision to push for a 21 cent a Bushel increase in the world minimum Price of t some economists say bluntly what to is , firs i when hip ithe answer to the Prairies is a a Cost to tie consumer of about two cents per loaf. But the task Force has pointed out that the two Price policy won t sell wheat and will give Farmers an incentive to produce More. And since Canadian con sumption of wheat for human use averages around 60 million bushels roughly a tenth of our annual production the two Price concept is unlikely to solve the income problem. Some economists say bluntly what to . When the International grains arrange ment was negotiated last year seems in Hindsight the wildest kind of Folly. U was exceeded Only by Oas policing cease fire massive shift of people off the farms under Long term adjust ment policies. We could produce our pres ent level of wheat with half the number of farm says one. But what politician will vote for a policy which will remove his or. Pepin still favors a policy of limiting production to marketable Levels using our present stocks As a Buffer to Supply exceptional demands and to buy time to get Back into wheat production if the Market does pick easy to talk he admits. But what Ever the decision is going to be it will be difficult to sell to drawl of troops from occupied j areas within 9g hours of the in the meantime everyone is cease fire formation of an inter i hoping for the minor Miracle of National peacekeeping team i a big Sale to Russia to and dispatch of observers Lopo j China to anyone. It May be a lice tie agreement. Long wait.
