ontario hog pro ducers about the recent announce ment made by federal agriculture minister gardiner regarding grade a hogs and the 2flcent floor price upon inquiry the ontario producers association found the following 1 premiums will be paid on grade a hogs weighing from 200 to 210 pounds live weight but not on hogs weighing under 2c0 pounds live weight this move has been described as temporary it is designed to encourage farmers to hold hogs off the market for a week longer to ease the current market crisis 2 the 26cent floor price applies only to hogs sold on a stockyard market and does not apply to hogs going direct to a packing plant i processors may pay any price they choose for hogs delivered direct to their plants the agree ment is the processors will take all hogs offered on the stockyards at 26 cents therefore producers should instruct their shippers or agents to ship their hogs to the stock yards and not to accept less than the 2gcent floor price toronto processors are
