Cornish Brass Quin- High cost of fertilizer topic at Federation of Agriculture meeting by Walter Wright The regular monthly meeting of the Durham Federation of Agriculture in Hampton on February 26th drew a good turnout to hear the guest speaker discuss the high prices for fertilizers. In the business part of the meeting, letters were received from several Ontario cabinet ministers acknowledging receipt of the local Federation position on the 'mobile home park -in Newcastle. A report was received from the committee consulting with Newcastle council on the proposed Occupancy and Maintenance bylaw. A further report was given on measures taken to assist a member having a problem with a proposed highway across his property. The guest speaker of the evening was Mr. Glen do it so often. Banner is an outstanding early alfalfa with fast regrowth, excellent winter hardiness and top perform- ance yields. In The Ontario Forage Committee test, Banner ranked first among 23 varieties tested in Ontario in total yield for first Johnson, Sales Manager for Crop Products for the United Co-operatives of Ontario. He ~- outlined the trend in fertilizer prices over the last ten years, saying that, by the middle 70's, nitrogen prices in particular were not cover- ing cost of production and many plants were closed. Increasing demand from 1978 on, coupled with large increases in the price of natural gas, the raw material for nitrogen ferti- "lizer, have resulted in the present price situation. Phosphates, he said, are in a world market supply and demand position. Most of the supply comes from two sources. Florida and Morocco. Morocco has been experiencing internal problems and terrorist activity has disrupted the supply from there for the cutting 1978 and 1979. It was first in yield for three cuttings in 1979 at Guelph against 15 other varieties. Pioneer brand 520 has an estab- lished record for long term stands, exceptional yields and outstanding tolerance to bacterial wilt. 520 has ranked right at the top in yield compared to other varieties tested in 1978 and 1979 at Guelph, Ridgetown and Ottawa. Year after year after year ... Pioneer alfalfas are consistently among the leaders. time being, resulting in much higher demand for the Florida product and higher prices. Canada is self sufficient in potash. The price is pretty much set by the Saskatchewan govern- ment and the cost of trinsportation to the east. Mr. Johnson was unable to see any possibility of lower fertilizer prices. With the exception of possible spot shortages of anhydrous ammonia in-the application "season, he said the supply of fertilizers for spring planting was expected to be adequate. Mr. Bruce Taylor moved a vote of thanks to the speaker. The next meeting will be the annual banquet in Uxbridge on March 25th. Tickets are available from any director.
