provided tothree mem bers from halton on the royal winter fair livestock judging team and for milk for the 4h awards night there was concern over the two cent per quart increase in milk prices with the complete amount of increase going to the dairies and the farmer receiving none of it it was difficult to understand the need for a two cent increase when profits per quart for the dairies is normally in the one cent range many felt that the increase in labor costs etc had been more than adequately looked after for the dairies with no consideration given to the farmer it was hoped consumers will not blame the dairy farmer for this in crease to their food bill all directors were opposed to a new quality milk program suggested by the ontario milk marketing board as this dealt only with deductions for failing to meet nigh standards rather than incentive payments for qual ity the proposal was unamlnously defeated plans were made to attend the regional milk committee meet ing
