These past few weeks of poor markets are likely the straw on the camel's back for alot of producers after having come through PRRS, circ-virus, high Cdn. Dollar, high input costs, low markets and NOW the misnamed H1N1 virus. <br /><br />I believe Cdn. want their food produced locally including their pork products - but they are at risk of losing it, if the Gov't continues to ignore the real situation out here.<br /><br />Government Officials will lead everyone to believe they have programs in place - but these programs are not working (not getting the money out to producers)<br /><br />We need every person to contact their Federal and Provincial Government Representatives on behalf of this food industry - the Cdn. Pork Producers - and tell the Government that they want these Producers supported with immediate Gov't money to sustain them through these troubling times.<br /><br />If anyone reading this wishes to do so, needs more information or contact numbers, they may contact me at caughill@wightman.ca <br />or (I'm sure) Ontario Pork Office in Guelph.<br /><br />Thanks again Patrick,<br />Sincerely,<br />JoAnne Caughill<br />Palm Creek Pork Inc.JoAnne Caughillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324023872680941764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545146.post-1825800206387573222009-06-18T07:57:42.771-04:002009-06-18T07:57:42.771-04:00Mark your a good man.
