farm request the president of the ontario federation of agriculture says the government has once ag ain ignored the requests of the fanners charles munro made the comment following an an nouncement that the canadian dairy commission has been authorized by the government to consider applications for supplementary quotas for muk subsidies for the current dairy year the announcement in a re lease from the office of j j greene federal minister of ag riculture said the new quotas will be to adjust serious in equities which would result from the present quota policy mr munro says the an nouncement seems on first reading to give some help to dairy farmers caught by the original dairy policy but he says further study shows there are so many con ditions reservations and es cape clauses that the whole thing winds up meaning noth ing mr munro says the state- ment shows an utter disre- izations about what this mini mum amount should be the statement says the com mission would continue its policy that quotas of producers who sold their herds could be reallocated to the people pur chasing them it says however that noth ing can be done at the moment through reallocation to help the farmer who increases the size of his operation just be fore the dairy policy with its restrictions was announced help through reallocation is also not available at the mo ment according to the state ment for the farmer whose production was seriously be low normal last year because of problems beyond his con trol like drought in the meantime it says the commission now has the pow er to issue supplementary quo tas in these cases the state ment says the commission ex pects some unused quotas will be available at the end of the year for allocation to these pro ducers in justifiable cases mr munro says the state- gard for the requests of the marching farmers only two weeks ago for res ag ricultural planning we told the government what we needed he says this latest statement just plays with the fringes of our requests he says the only exception is that cream shippers will not have to have a minimum pro duction of 50000 pounds to get a subsidy next year the state ment says there would be con sultation with producer organ- m s uo c of wh constitutes justifiable cases the minister has once again left thefarmersat the whim-of- the civil servants and their means tests he also says the statement is just an enticement to the man who has already been cheated by the dairy policy theres nothing in that statement to guarantee the commission wont tell him af ter his application is process ed sorry there isnt any quota available for you service 4 work and ckbn- ship achievement the canadian group wax ac companied to washington by d b young past president of the canadian
