Box 203, Goderich. 29 Pir Let us see what happens when 1, as an i4dividua1 producer, eompete .with' mass production of farm products. I produce -hogs,"•-eggs and beef,' all in a small, way. I buy feed. Since 1 am a small.producer, I like to' pick up feed 'at the mill in, small lots.in order to, have 4, fresh. A mill operator quoted' me a price of $62 a' ton for hog grower which I would 'pick up 'at,.._14. nfll! door in half ton lots. 11 T *ere a large operator the same mill would de- liver a seven ton load, in bags, to my farm for $60 per ton. This mill operator admitted that he had considerably lessprofit per ton in the large lot than in the sma11,101, yet because of the better bargain- ing- position of the large, producer he was forced into this practice: $o mucn for the buying, Now let us look at marketing , If 1 sell one hog through the hog,pro. ducers Marketing Agency 1 wil receive exactly the same price per' cwt. as the prbdneer-\Vhd 'Sella -100 or 1000. TiliF - seems to ire to be as it should be. ,,jn. the case of t,urkeys, I can't AIWA -.4,o- ,ris.k- prodheing • with out a • contract because-7.1.:rnight:thaver,no: market for the tiii'keyS. 1 -he" cessor will. take the Contract birds first and the only time the inde- pendent can sell his product is in a time of short !supply. 11 T have a contract I know that I must pro- duce better and cheaper than my neighbor or I will lose my corr.,' tr4d. My neighbor is very- tough competition. When I deliver'one case of eggs. a week 10 the egg -grading station I get market price. If I have 20 Cases of eggs a week the egg - grading station will send a truck to pick up. those 20 cases and pay me a bonus of 2 or 3 cents a dozen over market price. Yet Govern- ment reports. show that the small producer supplies by 'far the most eggs to the consumer. And he ,does it cheaper. In the case of cattle there are various met hods of • selling. • Here, auction selling seems to be gain- ing favor but in my experience found that I paid the auctioneer of a community sale to buy'' my -cattle for a large feeder rather -.than tosellmy cattle to the high- est bidder. We lloar a great deal of talk on how profitable and how efficient large operators are and that the small producer 'can't survive; but why? , In the light of the above facts it seems to. me that the large' oper- ator is making a •profit 'because of stronger bargaining. position; first in buying his 'feed and second in selling his product.. • I, along with hundreds of other small produe&V"who are. really supplying the food of the nation, on2V-a5k any -favors but 1 don't want to subsidize the feed and 'selling of the ,product 01 the large producer: 1 have heard a dot of complaints about: the Hog Producers .Market- ing Agency but I have never heard the strength of their ba -gaining position, questioned', Also, hogs and tobacco are the only farm pro- ducts . that I know of which are sold on thebasis of a Government grade to the producer. Strong bargaining position and Governi ment grade at producer level en• sure a fair price to the producer. Let's keep them ,on July 251h. • R •44:024141!
