Prices Today And Prices Next Fall £An unfortunate gamble in planning farm operations is that the farmer has to plan in springtime for crops he must sell several months later in the fall. A cash crop in a particularly favourable position today may be surplus — and a loss-producer — in the fall. Farmers: Study Future Market Prospects BEFORE Planting Today However — There’s sOne Cash Crop with a Bright Future —- SUGAR BEETS! The fathers and sons of Huron County who availed themselves of the privilege of attending the Huron County Seed Fair spon sored by the Huron County Soils and Crop Improvement Associa tion in the Clinton Collegiate, on March 13, came home thinking hard. The highlight of the Fajr was a panel discussion under the chairmanship of Professor Ralph Campbell, Head Economics De partment, O.A.C, Their main sub ject was “Father and Son Agree ments and Partnerships”. Never has this matter before been kicked around by mpre compet ent men. H. Strong and son, Stewart, from Howick Township, were panel members who received the brunt of the attack. This partner ship is considered by authorities one of the best in Huron County. They are above average farmers and both feel cnmstances it is the best thing for both of human they angles they had not thought of and others that need Changes. Mr. Strong, Sr. thought the main thing for success in these part nerships was “for the parent not to remain 30 years behind in his thinking”. He practices what lie preaches too. Elgin Rowcliffe, of Hensail, another panel member, had a different approach. He had. what we .believe is the secret of “Keep ing them down on the farm”. He has. expanded his farming operation as his family grew older. He felt this was necessary as it was very hard to net suf ficient profit on the original family farm. We understand this expansion was made in the sons’ names. He operated the entire business, renting their farms and paying them wages. He felt Jhat ■this was more businesslike‘and we agree.* Another member, George Ro bertson, Auburn, w*ho is in part nership with his brother, recently took over the family farm from their father. They found that buying the entire unit at a reasonable list price seemed*’ to be working out fine for them. Their father did not go to town. They built him a new house on the farm. Much cheaper and as George said “He didn’t want,to go to town and Dad was a very handy man to have around. Not only for the swing man in the rush but also for advice.” Know ing these men • personally, we know for a fact that this father and son relationship is O.K. and is forging ahead. Another man with much exper ience in this line of work present on the panel was Art Robertson, Farm Economics, O.A.C. He has helped to set up many of these partnerships and agreements, on a sound basis. Being intelligent and understanding by nature he is able to take each case on its own merits and conditions. He really had the answers and a family who is thinking of start- that in their cir- them, admit But being there are ing a partnership would be......... well- advised to contact his office at the O.A.C. Perhaps you might not set up exactly as he recom mended but from experience of so many cases he would give you plenty of angles to think about. The panel discussion must have been timely because it kept 200 fathers and sons listening avidly in complete silence for an hour and a half. The passing comments we heard were: “wish they could have gone on as long again”---"Gosh, I really learned something today.” DID YOU KNOW? The main thing in a partner ship-complete and accurate re cords. It's business.—Art Robert son, O.A.C. .
