Cash flow is extremely important-- expecially for those only remaining in business by courtesy of the bank. However, it's easy to forget about other important aspects of financial manage- merit if we become pre- occupied with cash flow budgeting only in an attempt to project needed bank loans. Although' many businesses make a profit each yedr, there is a growing problem with running out of cash-- particularly with escalating input costs. Trying to finance a farming operation with 21% interest can be an alarming situation. At 20% compounded interest, money doubles itself in 3.6 years, i.e. (72 is the "magic figure") 72+ 20= 3.6 simi- larly at 6% from the old days, 72+ 6 = 12 years. It's important to realize the time difference in the money cost when making farm plans. In fact, after doing the paper work, we may determine that some plans need to be put on hold. It's still a fact-- if it doesn't work on paper watch itl Some forecasters caution that in many situations, the time may come when we can't count on continued Jim McKague, Wilbert Free- man and Dennis Martin; Walkerton Little Royal- Wilbert Freeman, Joe Van Osch, Ellwood Seili and Jim McKague; Ladies Night- Al Feddes, Murray Donaldson, Bill Gibbings; annual meet- ing- Dave Marshall, Joe Van Osch, Ellwood Seili; London Fair- Ken Ramsay, Dennis Martin, Glen McNeil. The club also discussed averaging 1244 lbs. selling for 82.85. Sixteen steers consigned by Oscar Keiffer of Bluevale averaging 1151 lbs. sold for 82.60. Twenty-two steers consigned by George Under- wood Farms of Wingham averaging 1232 lbs. sold for 83.70 with his load of 45 steers averaging 1203 lbs. selling for 83.15. A steer consigned by Gordon Dougherty of Goderich weighing 1250 lbs. sold for 84.00. Choice Heifers - 76.00 to 81.00 with sales to 83.25. Good Heifers - 74.00 to 76.00. A heifer consigned by Jack Cardiff of Brussels weighing 1180 lbs. sold for 83.25 with his 28 heifers averaging 1065 lbs. selling for an overall inflation of assets to bail us out of an impending financial bind. A business must make a profit; otherwise, eventua- lly it's heading for disaster. With today's economy, in many farming operations a monthly, or at the very least, a quarterly profit and loss statement will be 'useful .c to you arid "your partner" the banker. As a historical picture of profit--a profit and loss state- ment for the entire previous year is helpful. The amount of borrowing and the interest charges is an indication of the farmer's capital position. Borrowing is determined by personal as well as business decisions. Impulsive buying may spell the beginning of the end. Cash flowing into and out of a business can be readily seen in the bank statement. A cash flow budget will help forecast peak borrowing requirements and interest charges payable to the bank. The capital structure of a business is the thir d impor- tant ingredient for successful financial management. Be certain to pay attention to accurate current and project- the Clinton.

Many farm operations showing poor profit potential remain in business by in- creasing bank borrowing' secured against a rapidly increasing asset value and an increasing net worth-- very risky!' The ..value of profit, cash and capital can be useful: -To check the health of the business. -To budget for the future and more clearly identify and achieve business objectives. -To provide a good under- standing of the business for the farmer, his banker and accountant.

He said it was felt that there should be a chairman for this committee and after some discussion, the club decided to adopt the presentation of the advertising committee and make Wilbert Freeman the chairman. It was decided that the Holstein Club's gift to the dairy princess this year would once again be a silver tea service.
