What Next?
The report I aM going to give
you today is an {llneriean one,
, but now and again they do have
ideas that make ,one stop, be in•
terested for awhile and Wonder
a how it could be applied to our
own way of living. I think it
might be a darn good idea in
some instances around Canadian
farms and sometimes would help
a man get on his feet after a bad
year or two. Anyway here it is
in part as from the "Farm Jpur•
nal."
"There's something new on the
farm machinery horizon this:
spring; rentals.
Panel Urges
Farm Plans
Increased interest in OAC's
soil and planning service has al-
ready been shown as a result of
the panel discussion on farm
planning at Huron's seed fair Sat-
urday.
The county representative's of-
fice has reported a number of
farmers have signed for the serv-
ice after learning what it can do
to improve a farm.
Several hundred farmers heard
the Hanel which dissected the op-
erations of a low income farm
and recommended changes for
improvement.
Key factors in farm manage-
ment are feed use, capital use,
labor use, crop index, size of
business, livestock production
and combination of enterprises
said Dr, Harvey Caldwell, of
the economics department, OAC,
Guelph. Each, he said, is equally
important and the farmer should
look for balance among these fac-
tors.
Moderator of the panel was
Stan Yungblut, Goderich, a VLA
administrator, and panelists in-
cluded Ed Allier, RR 3, Exeter;
Boyd Taylor, PR 3, Walton; Tom
Lane, soils department, and John
Clark, . economics, OAC; Bill
Newton, London VLA, and a
Brussels banker.
Reeve William McKenzie, Exe-
ter, presented the Soil and Crop
trophy for highest score in the
senior and intermediate seed
judging competition to Murray
Gaunt, and Warden Jack Morris-

"This spring, dealers all over
the country are getting set to rent
out machinery, and the idea
shows signs of really booming,
"It's a good deal for fanners
like myself," says a. man from
Ohio. Ire. rented a big diesel
crawler svlaen he got behind on
planting last spring. `l: couldn't
afford to buy that tractor —• it
cost $5.000, used,' but I rented it
-- at $2 an hour plus fuel —for
120 hours and got in both my corn
and soybeans.'
"Other farmers who've tried
renting machinery say:
"It frees capital for other uses
— for land, livestock, feed and
fertilizer, You can charge off all
of the rental as business expense
on your income tax. It lets you.
grow a specialty crop for just one
season. Or, ybu can farm an ex-
tra 80 acres and still get crops
in and out on time, regardless of
weather.
"A new, easy way to figure
rates seems to have triggered the
big interest this winter. Farmers
and farm managers have tested
the plan, and dealers OK'd it last
October at their National Retail
Faris Equipment Association
convention, More than 1,000 deal-
ers have since written in for rent-
al contract blanks. Briefly, here
are the rates; 1 per cent of the
machine's sale price for a 10 -
hour day; 5 per cent of the sale
price for a week; 15 per cent on
the same basis for a month; 25•
per cent for a two-month period;
and 33ik per cent for three
months.
"Fanners and dealers can
dicker from there. If you decide
to buy, 90 per cent of the rental
fee applies as payment.
"It averages out to a fair price
all the way around, says the exe-
cutive director of the NRFEA,
Rates may run a little high for
non -seasonal equipment such as•
tractor and plow, and they may
be a little low for highly seasonal
machinery such as a planter or
combine. Our studies show that if
a farmer uses an 'implement for
as much as 100 days a year, he
better buy it. If he uses it for as
little as five days a year, lie's
better off renting if he can, For
most machines, the break-even
point lies somewhere in between
those two figures, depending on
the use, price and the farmer
himself."
Rentals could be the answer to
rusli seasons and bad weather,
"An Iowa dealer is buying a
$3.200 crop dryer to rent out to
farmers with high moisture corn
this spring, Each fanner needs it
only a few days but there are
enough farmers who need it to
make a rental worthwhile.
"One farmer owns three trac-
tors and rents a fourth part of
the time. If he didn't the fourth
trader would be costing him $500
or more for a month's work but
hecan rent it for less than one-
third of the price. Another farm-
er rents a machine to try it out.
A Georgia farmer says that 185-
acre farm with 32 dairy cows is
too small to carry much machin-
) ery and he figures he triples his
winter pasture crop by renting
machinery. A Texas man who
works in an office and irrigates
land as well says he rented
machinery for $55 which would
have cost hien $3,000 to own,.
"Of course,there are some
drawbacks to renting ,uachinerY,
too. Naturally in some instances
a farmer night have to wait a
day or two for the machine he
wants. Insurance is an added ex-
poise. Some companies hold the
renters .liable for insurance ;and
repairs. Bad weather in the mid-
dle of a rental period can cost
you money but dealers usually
make some adjustment,
"One dealer said he had flour
meters on their tractors, but they
also had a minimum charge of $5
a day, so a tractor renter does
not ,go off on vacation. Most deal-
ers don't deliver rentals. Some
companies even' urn
sh drivers
at $1.50 an hour.
"As in every good bargain, time.
idea is that farmers and dealers
should both make money. By fix-
ing up used machinery to rent,
dealers are making better use of
their mechanics' time They also
get parts and grease wholesale,
so you get some Of the economies
of fleet operation when you rent.
"One Texas dealer said after
analyzing their 1957 books they
found that they made just as
much from renting as from sales.
At present the rental programs
belong solely to the dealers.
1t'hether a nationwide rental pro-
gram would work better, remains
to be seen. However, they think
it's going to mean wider use of
more machinery, Machinery .that
has been rusting in dealers' lots
can earn its keep, and at the
sane time, help farmers save
crops and cut costs."
Looking at some of the farm
machinery lots that the dealers
around here have, it night be a
good idea if they gave this idea
a little head room. They could
keep their men busy fixing the
machines, the stuff wouldn't go
to rust on the lot before they
passed it off on some poor .unsus-
pecting farmer trying to get the
mos` for the little money he has.
The dealer, could rent a good
machine, make a satisfied farm-
Kippen Farmer
Buys Top Bull
A pair of good Shorthorn bulls
came to Huron County from the
Ontario Bull Sale held recently at
Toronto, Jack Peck, Kippen, fol-
lowing spirited bidding, was suc-
cessful in obtaining, at $820, Ab-
erfeldy Viceroy, a heavy boned

ported Calrossie Forward March.
This was the third high selling
bull of the entire sale.

the women are reluctant to take
