Times -Advocate, July 15, 1987 Page 7A Push on market elubs In these times of mountainous surpluses, the central problem for most agricultural products is not to produce more, but to sell it better. It . would be nice if there wast single for- . mula that could be used to price a crop. The formula could tell us when ' to sell, which would be at the highest price for the year. However it is not that simple, and instead we must understand the marketing tools available to us and titr them in marketing our crop. As individuals we have a limited access to market information and limited time in which to access that information. In order to meet the challenge of learning the market, some farmers have organized a marketing club. The basic idea is that as a group farmers can achieve what has proven to be dif- ficult for the individual. The clubs are usually smhlI and informal producer groups that are formed to improve member understanding of marketing tools, information, and methods and do this at much less cost to the in- dividual than would otherwise be the case. Marketing clubs are not new. Several have been operating in Huron County and other areas for several years now. A meeting for producers interested in forming a marketing club will be held on Tuesday, July 28, 8:00 p.m. at the O.M.A.F. Boardroom, Clinton. Initially a club for 'Central Huron' will be discussed.
