History
The Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board was formed in 1946, and replaced the former Farm Products Control Board. The board was administered through the Ontario Department of Agriculture and its successors.
Within the department, the board was considered a part of the Co-operation and Markets Branch (which assisted in administering the Farm Products Marketing Act) between 1946 and 1958, and between 1958 and 1961 it was part of the Markets Branch. Between 1961 and 1968 the board reported directly to the Deputy Minister. From 1968 to 1976 it was considered part of the Marketing and Special Services Division, and part of the Marketing Division from 1976 to 1979.
On February 1, 1979, the Farm Products Marketing Branch was created which oversaw the administration of both the Farm Products Marketing Board and the Milk Commission of Ontario. In 1989, the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board was merged with the Milk Commission of Ontario and became known as the Farm Products Marketing Commission.
