. Agri-news. Agriculture. June 2, 1975 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DAIRY CO-OPERATIVES Alberta's agricultural minister, Marvin E. Moqre, has announced that groups which have anticipated forming large scale dairy co-operatives will have to discontinue their efforts because of subsidy refusals by the federal government. The federal government recently indicated that the proposed large scale operations, involving up to 1, 000 dairy cows, would not be given any quota subsidy beyond that presently available to individual and multiple operations. Alberta Agriculture's support for these ventures was conditional upon quota subsidy extensions being provided by federal authorities. The reasons given by Ottawa for the decision against expanding subsidies were: The initial intent of expanding milk productions is being met by the entry of new producers and expansion of operations of existing producers in the dairy industry. Thus, a move towards large scale operations, created merely to increase production, does not seem warranted at this time. Adjustments of support prices have made small farm operations, that were previously marginal, more viable and thus the need for (continued) farm consolidation is disappearing. /dberra AGRICULTURE COMMUNICATIONS.
