Cash ii* the bink—or en*: still
lybig in the fids,
• That, roughly,. ls' ' the parscd9s
facing Canadian farmers today al
they study their "siuuI cl ' report
for 1851."
For some, it's a scruple matter:
1961 vias their best year yet.. That's
borne out by= the 'preliwcinary Do-
minion Bureau of +Statistics• .estlm
ate that $.n 1951 cash blare* Win
the sale of Harm, products in 1961
reached an all-time high of $2,830
iulllions by'' an unofficial estimate
that net income, after meeting all
operating expenses,. will be. close
to $2,200 million& - '
But those, estimates include more
than $1,000 millions for field crop
-nnd in thisitigure are the millions
of bushels of snow- and rain -soaked
wheat .still lying out in western
fields.
For the Prairie farmer who didn't
get his grain in' before the snow,
that "cash income" is still largely'
on paper.
But, all in all, there's every sign
that 1951 crops, flus the carryover
payments many farmers received
from 1950-51 crops, gate the farmer
a pretty fair income. -
True, farm costa were . rising
rapidly during the year::. They
jumped 12 per dent between Janu-
ary and August. But even after
allowance for this increase, the
farmers' net purchasing power al-
most paralleled that of 1948. And
in both years, his position, relative
the costs of doing business, was
the hapg`fest ` rabr ertod-sinee-the•-
free market days of the First Great
War. the $2,200 millions estim
ated income 18.35 per cent over the
previous peak of $1,600 millions
reached in 1948. ,
But that's not all "cash in the
bank" for farmers.` Nor is the
"prosperity" spread evenly across
the farm community. But on the
whole, last year's millions have
strengthened the farm .section off
Canada's economic' base. Take . a
look at these factors:
Farm implement sales, continued
at a -high level.
'Household and equipment Im-
' provements continued. '
Mortgage ddbt kept going down.
Retail sales increased on the
Prairies.
Rural •eleetrtfication continued at
a fast clip.
That's the essenee of the farm
picture, as Canada.: waits. out the
winter, gets ready for another bat-
tle with weather, weeds and' insects.
Implement Sales Record
' Just' how last year's high income
helped Mr. Average Farmer prepare
for that battle was summed up for
IThe Post by a ' farm implement
dealer :
"Ih 1950, the 'industry sold a
record total. Each year has been
better than the previous one. We've
thought it couldn't keep up, but
it has—and• the only thing we're
worried about for 1952 is the ma-
terials.
"The farmers are financing thein
equipment (and a lot of household
Improvements) on lbank loans:
That's cheaper than time -payments
-'-and their credit is good. They're
handling their money very sen-
sibly."
The 1951 ligtires aren't compiled
yet, but the indications are that
they'll show' that mortgage debt was
reduced at about the same rate as
the 6.00 per cent reduction that
took place in 1950.
r "Mortgage payments in ,the three
Prairie Provinces were about as
,good as in 1950, despite the crop
situation," a representative told
The Post.
Tile "crop situation" he referred
to was, of course, the fact that early
winter storms caught many Prairie
farmers wih grain still in the fields,
in some cases hit areas hard. -
I3nt most of the farmers were -able!
to get some grain out; they can all
get rash loans from Ottawa on
"!what's In the 'field. 'So far, there
has been no indication as to how
much will be taken up.
__Considerable fears were, however,
being expressed over that •winter -
bound grain.' The big problem was
drying of the large quantities af-
fected. Inspections showed tough
and- damp grain arrivals outstrip
ping straight grades four cars to
one daily at Winnipeg and there
-just aren't enough drying facilities
to handle this kind of quantity.
Factors' In The Upswing
i Llust now it looks like -a• race
against time; a 'race to get the wet
grain ,dried out 'before warm wea-
ther comes and it heats and spoils.
• 'Thus, one big sour" spot in the
picture of soaring farm returis.
What caused the•over-all 'upswing
in 1951?.
Three main reasons may be
cited:
1. The inclusion of very large
wheat and coarse grain participa-
tion payments_ In 1951.
2. The very high return on cattle,
hogs, eggs, etc.. during the year.
j 3. Unusually heavy marketings of
western grain during the spring
tnonths.
I For 1951, it is estimated that par-
ticipation and ,adjustment payments
on wheat and coarse grains will
considerably exceed $300 millions.
' The corresponding figure in 1950
was only .$50 millions. In 1919,
• these totaled $220 millions, in 1948,
$180 millions.
The especially high total for 1951
was substantially enlarged by the
controversial $95 million vote of
the Canadian Parliament„ made to
offset injury claimed in operations
of the U.K. 'Wheat Agreement.
-1 Also of importance were the un-
usually heavy wheat marketings In
1951 from 19.50 carryover --due to
a dverLes weather eonditb-ns which
delayer deliveries daring the 1950
fall months. Thus, by the- end of
the 1950-51 crop year. cumulative
marketing,: as nt .1uly 31 had
reached the high mark of 3(60 mil-
lion bushels, of which over 125
• million bushels had been marketed
In 1951.
A third factor—perhaps the most
important from the viewpoint of
general fnrm 'prosperity --Dens the
!considerable and sustained rise in
prices of livestoek nnd syf items

high .prices onset this decline.
Egg prices started to break to-
ward the end of 195L But for the
major part of the year, these prices
_ranged from 35 per cent to 51 per
•cent higher than during the cor-
responding period in 1950.
Thus, it is estimated ,that for
the year as a whole, cash income
to Canadian farmers from eggs
reached the record total of some-
thing _between $135 millions and
$140, millions. This compares with
$103 millions in 1959; $111 millions
.in 1949 and $130 millions in 1948.
Operating Expenses
No ,details are yet available as
to what may have happened to farm
operating expenses.' But prelimin-
ary. calculations suggest that these
rose probably '9 per cent over the
$1,090 millions estimate for 1950.
The details for 1950 and 1949,
show just what it is believed Can-
adian farmers in aggregate spend
for, taxes, upkeep and operation of
implements, debt interest, fertilizer,
feed and seed, etc.
'The 'final deduction to obtain a
final estimate of 'net income, is an
estimate for depreciation ou build-
ings and equipment.
. One of the important contributing
factors to farm income and pros-
perity in 1951 has been the4 sus-
tained export demand,
The dominating feature hat been
the highly satisfactory U.S. market
—a market which in 1951 more than
replaced the loss of export • oppor-
tunities in the U.K.
The essential facts, relative to
these markets, are these:
(1) In 1947-48-49. the U.K. took
in excess' of $400 millions of farm
products annually. By. 1951. this
had shrunk to something less -than
$250 millions.
(2) In 1947, the U.S. mhrket
took between $60 millions and $70
..mI1 laps, of. _Canadian farm •})ro-
tiixcts ; '$'i0`'snitiians fit eucii hT"104•
and 1949. The 1951 total is nearer
$350 millions.
As well, export sales in countries
Other than U.K. and U.S. were high
in 1951. The total for the year
Was in excess of $300 millions—a
figure well above the average of
the preceding four years. Much of
this demand was for milling grade
of wheat ; a demand which was in
excess of available supplies.
The net result of these sustained
export market demands was to sup-
port a generally higher price level
for Canadian. farm products , than,
in 1950 -=especially animal products.
