t 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 26,1984 Durham Agri-News by John E. Finlay, Agricultural Agricultural Representative The Canadian Pork Council Council Chairman, Howard Malcolm, Malcolm, led a delegation to Washington to continue the argument that Canadian pork has a traditional place in the North American market. market. Stabilization payments are not the cause of the rapid growth in Canadian exports to the United States. If the Canadian Pork Council is not successful in presenting the Canadian pork story to. the United States, the U.S. government may impose a temporary duty on Canadian pork as early as the last part of January, January, 1985. The temporary duty would stay in place until a final decision on the matter can be reached. Canadian dairy farmers have donated $200,000 . worth of evaporated milk to help relieve th starvation in ■ Ethiopia. The Canadian Dairy Commission Commission will arrange for the processing of 11,700 cases of ; the milk and for its delivery to the port of Trois Rivieres where the Canadian Inter- ; national Development Agency will see that it is shipped to Africa. Agriculture Canada will ■ ■ pay the transportation costs. Grant Smith, President of . Dairy Farmers of Canada, ; said Canadian farmers are • conscious of the serious , need for nutritious food to relieve the famine in Ethiopia. "Evaporated milk is a nearly complete food. It 'provides all the vitamins, • protein and fat of whole !• milk and will be delivered in a form that can be easily - distributed and consumed by the people", he ' explained. The $200,000 will pay for ' 11,700 cases of evaporated milk. There are 96 cans, each containing 170 grams of milk, in each case. Mr. Smith explained that since the milk is being made available at world prices and because farmers have already paid the export export levy, their actual contribution contribution is about $288,000. The boxes will be stencilled stencilled to read, "Gift of the Dairy Farmers of Canada." Effective December 10th, the Farm Credit Corpora- tion.of Canada lowered its five-year loan rate from 14 per cent to 13.25 per cent. F.C.C. loans with a ten-year term now carry an interest rate of 13 5/8 per cent compared compared to the prior rate of 14 5/8 per cent. A rate of 14 per cent applies to loans with a fixed rate term of 20 years - down from the previous rate of 15 per cent. The decreases decreases in interest rates are a result of lower cost funds for the Corporation.
