HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1977-08-25, Page 130 Record white .bean crop expected, sales dropping This year's white bean crop is ex- pected to be excellent with Ontario expected to produce in excess of 2 million cwt. -'a record crop. So far, no weather or disease problems have been noted but about 10 percent of the acreage has been reported as sprayed for white mold. Although 2 million cwt, would be a record crop closer estimates range between 160,000 acres verstts 155,000 basted on intentions. • The Michigan crop pptential is ex- pected Co range between 5.2 ,million cwt. and 5.7 reillion,cwt. There'have been no significant .growing problems- there either but they might occgrif Michigan does not get the necessary .rain. This kind. of crdp frtirn Michigan would mean yields ever 1200 lbs. per acre,, and would be a one third larger crop than marketed from 1976. So total North American 1107 supply could approximate an average .5 million cwt, with total North American demand of only 1/Z- a million cwt. in Canada and 3.2. million cwt. in the U.S. (including seed). This would mean that Michigan would have 2 million or more cwt. to sell overseas in competition with Canada, Chile, Argentina and Ethiopia. Since quality navy beans demand in Europe O and the U.K. only totalled 2.5 to 2.7 million cwt. in 1976 competition is ex - 1 pected to be fierce and will possibly create lower selling values and larger carryover. The only positive demand variables continue to be buoyant U.K. demand and the possibility of North America navy beans supplanting Ethiopia bean sup- plies due to political and military dif- ficulties in that country. Current Michigan„producer prices are $13.50 per cwt. with selling values at $16.2 for immediate delivery (August,,; September) and $16.50 for October, November delivery. Ontario's price• is $18 for October shipment export (and $19 domestic', . Sales to date advance 1977 crop total 600,000 cwt. in Michigan most of which is normal year to year contract business by large U.S. canners. This 600,000 was sold at close to $21 early in April, May of 1977. No significant sales to export customers from Michigan of advance crop have been made as yet. Ontario's advance export sales are 122,800 cwt. and domestic sales are 84,700 cwt. giving a 'total of 207,500 cwt. This represents 10 percent' of the ex- pected crop. This year's export sales represents 59 percent of the total sales , and since the normal sales profile is 80 percent it is obvious the customers are cautious about buying new crop and Corn stabilization plans announced Declining corn prices have aiwicreated much interest by uron County farmers in corn stabilization, plans, says Mike Miller, associate ag. rep. for the county. For the 1976 crop, the Federal support price is $2.18 miler bushel. This covers all corn sold between September 1, 1976 and August 31, 1977. It does NOT guarantee a 4 $2.18 for his corn, but it is based on the average price J for the year (September to August), which currently is close to $2.18. To date there is a possibility of a small payment - 6-10 cent to 1 cent per bushel, which would be available on any sale of corn, whether sold at $2.30 or $1.80: The final price and payment (if any) will be announced in October and producers would have to submit sales invoices along with the application. Maximum limitations have not been announced to date. For the 1977 crop the Federal plan will again be a 5 year average - this will be above the $2,18 of the 1976 crop - but how much is not clear and it will not be an- nounced until well into 1978: It could be $2.25 - $2.30 range and in most other aspects would function like the. 1976 Support price, with payment to be made in late fall of 1978. For 1977 Crop there are tentative plans for an Ontario Corn StabiMzation Program. This program would 1) Require Enrolment forms; have a fee of 3-4 cents 'per bushel (payment of fee deferred until plan pays out) ; add approximately 10 - 11 cents per bushel to the 1977 Federal Support Level; have the same Sept. 1, 1977 to August 31, 1978 date; Have a maximum payment of 30,000 bushels per man. Producers are urged to watch for two further an- nouncements in September and October. The first - enrolment forms and deadline for the Ontario Corn Stabilization Program for their 1977 Corn Crop. The second - the possibility of application forms for '1976 Federal Corn Support Price .if a payment is to be made. 'New crop monitor saves stored grain Farmers in Ontario will no longer have to operate their 'Train storage programs "blind" says a Goderich man, Don Stewart. A new solid state, battery operated Crop Store Monitor is available to check in -bin temperature at up to eight locations. Lost cash income from lower grain grades, or spoilage can now be greatly reduced with the aid of a torage• temperature onitoring system that can e geared to the management' program for drying and storing the crop. The Crop Store Monitor uses eight separate ther- mometer sensors which are normally attached to cables in a storage bin prior to filling the bin with grains or oilseeds. Each, location of the sensor is connected to the • control monitor box where a dial reads off the in -bin temperature from a range of - 20 degrees C to + 40 degrees C. A ninth sensor measures outside air temperature. The new Crop Store Monitor has been introduced to Ontario this year by RDS -.- 'Agrican Limited who are 4 ocated at Goderich in the eart of the corn and bean growing area. When measuring the temperature at any one sensor point, the dial on the monitor will still be pointing to the previous setting so the extent and direction of the change can be noted. The individual sensors in a bin are all connected to a central monitor which is located at . either the outside of the bin, !-r any distance from, it. The most popular size storage bin for application of monitoring systems is in the 25,000 bu storage range. In .most set-ups there are four sensors located down the centre bf the bin in the grain mass, and four others are located in the top four feet Of W the grain, spread equi-dstant around the' top, four feet in from the bin side walls. Systems for other more simple or more complex farm storage programs are available, from simple ha'hd held probe temp -testing units, to multiple crop -store monitor set-ups. Don Stewart, President of RDS Agrican Limited said that the price range is from under $100 to $800 and is based, on the size and com- plexity of the installation. Farmers in Ontario in- terested in learning more about this program to help improve storage, aeration, drying and monitoring techniques should contact: RDS Agrican Limited, P.O. Box 367, Goderich, Ontario N7A 4C6 or call Don Stewart at 519-524-7447. by Bertha Mac ,,or Mr. and Mrs. , > Tinney and Mrs. Mona Campbell returned from a motor trip to the East Coast where they visited relatives.

Mr. and Mrs. Don Joynt returned home after spending two weeks at their cottage at Manitouttn Island. when Michigan producer prices moved from $15 per cwt. in mid July to $13.50, it created more buyer apprehension. Statistics on production volumes on the Neilsen shelf movement show an increasing drop in the demand for baked beans with pork. In 1974, 129,550,571 lbs. were sold. In 1975, 118,747,912 pounds were sold which meant sales were down 8.3 percent from the previous year. 41 1975, 101,989,289. pounds were seld so the sale,s,were down 14 percent. . Statistics Show that beans move well when they have featured prices but with a falling total retail market canner profit margins are adversely affected by continued 'features unless gains in market share from such features are permanent. A national food survey of Britain in the Economist on July 2 reported that the real value of food purchased in Britain (dollar volume adjusted for inflation) fell 1.9 percen in the last quarter of 1977 as versus the last quarter of 1976. Shoppers cut back on convenience foods except frozen (because fresh vegetable prices were high in midwinter). But baked beans are moving well and in many British chain stores they are used as loss leaders.
