Bowmanville Since becoming Durham County's Dairy Princess, Krista McHolm has been spending the last seven months as an ambassador for Ontario's milk industry. "Times have changed and so has the dairy industry," she said in a presentation at a meeting of the Rotary Club of Bowmanville last week. She described farming as an enterprise which needs a variety of expertise and education: A farmer, after all, may be called upon to be a manager, weather forecaster, accountant, crop specialist, tractor driver, milker, and repairman, repairman, not to mention the many other jobs which take place on a typical farm. Canadian dairy farms account account for $6 billion in annual annual production. They employ employ approximately 45,000 farmers along with some 35,000 individuals who work in related industries. Among agricultural activities activities in Canada, the dairy industry is second largest. Miss McHolm told Rotations Rotations that the Ontario Milk Marketing Board has played an important role in governing Ontario's dairy industry and ensuring that both consumers and farmers farmers are well-served. The board was formed in 1965 to relieve chaos in the milk industry, she explained. Prior to 1965, farmers sold directly to processing processing plants where prices varied, quality was never consistent and the output from a milk producer could be refused for no apparent reason. "Something had to be done. Thus, Hon. William Stewart (then provincial minister of agriculture) carefully studied the situation situation and drew up the Milk Act in 1965, creating the Ontario Ontario Milk Marketing Board," Miss McHolm explained. The purpose of the board is threefold. Firstly, it ensures ensures that producers receive receive net incomes equal to costs of management, investment, investment, and labor so that farmers can make a living. Secondly, it maintains a stable market for milk and controls supply and demand demand to the benefit of all. Finally, the board promotes. efficiency in production and marketing of raw milk so that milk and dairy products products are as competitive as possible with other beverages beverages and foods. As an example of how efficient efficient dairy producers have become, the Durham County Dairy Princess pointed out that when the milk marketing board was formed in 1965, there were 27,000 producers. Today, there are just over 11,000 producers who own 48,000 fewer cows but still produce produce an amount of milk equal to 1965 levels. "This shows how far technology has come," she said. Miss McHolm also described described how milk production production is regulated by the quota system and discussed the differences between fluid milk quotas and market market sharing quotas which apply to milk used for products products such as cheese or butter. butter. The Ontario Milk Marketing Marketing board consists of 12 members representing various dairy regions of Ontario Ontario along with one member who serves as the representative of Ontario's cream producers. Local milk committees composed of six to 10 members members represent producers at the county level and there are 54 of these groups within Ontario. The milk marketing system system has given the farmer a stable market, a fair return for his work, and a future for his family. For the consumer, it gives a wide variety of milk and milk products, a stable supply, supply, and reasonable prices. "All of this shows how far the dairy industry has come since the early 50's and 60's because of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. Like all of us; it is looking to the future," future," said Miss McHolm. ( HA/e he the t in Sight' shorney's opticians BRIAN C LARSON -- Manager 30 KING ST.
