Farmers will have to
receive steadily increasing
prices for their products
they wish, to break even in
1976 according to Huron's.
,Agriculture Representative
Don Pullen.
Pullen said 1975. was an
'.above average year for
Huron's 3,500 commercial
farmers but risk and un-
certainf'f" over market and
weather conditions make it
difficult to predict tvhat sort
of'year this would be.
He said he was sure county
farmers would continue their
high levels : of efficiency in
their 1976 operations to cope
with the continually rising
production costs.
. He listed the dramatic
increase in the price of land
as one of the main problems
plaguing farmers. It has
more than doubled in the last
two or three years.
Some farms which sold for
about $40,000 in 1973 are now
on the market for more thap
$80,000. ,
Increasing , acreage is one
method being used by far-
mers to
the face
creasing
increase income to
of continually in -
equipment costs.
The stint, trend is prevalent
in reniat costs .t'or land in the
last several years, Pullen
said.
It appears that agricultural
production in 1975 increased
during 1975 although figures
are yet incomplete.
During 1975 sales of
agricultural goods are
estimated at $135 million, up
from $120 million during the
previous year. Qf that $115
million came from livestock
sales and the remaining $20
million by cash crop sales.
Huron county is the largest
in Ontario in terms of
agricultural acreage with
611,308 acres of improved
farm land of a total of 840,000
acres.
Hog ,priceswere listed by
the Ag Rep as the bright spot
in ,Huron in 1-975. He
estimated that slightly less
then the 1974 total of 266,000
hogs were marketed in the
year, making Huron the third
largest seller of hogs.
Huron continued to lead all
other counties in barley and
white bean production . with
acreages of 40,000 and 60,000
respectively.
In cattle marketing Huron
was second in Ontario w i
110,000 head sold 30 th

In conclusion. Pullen.
warned, "In spite of the in,
creased gross income figures,
there are considerably higher
input costs and it is hppcd:
prices for farm goods in 197.
will remain at high levels to
help operators gain a profit." '+
