(photo by Dave Sykes) Optimism is asset Need positive attitude BY DON PULLEN, problems or low quality AGRICULTURAL hogs would not do that REPRESENTATIVE 03well. It's a sobering" Eternal optimism is thought. Survival ° is -the key - word. It will be a little easier for the established farmer. I have real sympathy for the young farrher trying to get a • toehold. Despite some forecasts, -interest rates. continue to rise. There has been a lot of talk about rates levelling out but economists say it may be the myth of our time. Compared to in- terest rates in the United States at near 20 per cent and about 23 per' cent in -Great . Britain, ours is probably as low as anywhere. A recent Bank of Montreal' report said a new combine valued at $80,000 with .the bulk financed at 16 per cent, would work out to $40,000 going to be a great asset for farmers during the. 1980's 'to be successful and profitable. A positive 'attitude is,,p.ecessary as we face all kinds of challenges. Interest - rates will affect farmers more than some other businesses because of their static -type of income. Returns of some commodities are not as high as they were several years ago. Current cost studies with market hogs selling at under $50 per hun- dredweight, show that many pork producers are losing up to $20 per hog marketed. These calculations include every .cost in - Volved. This is an age for realism and all costs in interest over a five must be figured. Also, o e -these calculations were rem: __ . _..-_.......- made on a relatively well Land costs are also managed operation. very alarming, especially Anyone with poor feed for' buyers. The sellers can pay capital gains conversion, herd health and Bill Davis says . _• he'll review to for rural hydro A commitment to reduce rural electrical' rates by bringing them .more into line with those paid by urban residents of Ontario was announced recently by Premier. William Davis. Mr. Davis said he has instructed Ontario Hydro to come up. with new rate proposals, hopefully as early as this Fall. "It is quite obvious that under the new proposals, the. lower rates will not recover all of the costs of the rural power system", said the. Premier. "However, the current inequity between urban and rural residents in the purchase of electrical power is going to become increasingly burdensome to our rural people and justifies the change in, policy", said the Premier. The rural power district serves an area of some 250,000 square miles where there are an average of 14 customers per mile of distribution line. In the municipal system there are more than 100 customers per mile. "With the increasing. trend toward ur- banization, over the next few years there will simply be fewer and fewer people in our more sparsely settled areas of Ontario sharing the rural cost burden", Mr. Davis told the Legislature. For example, in the last 10 years, some 80,00p uu�tumers who were formerly supplied with electricity directly by Ontario Hydro became customers of municipal utilities. Agriculture and Food Minister Lorne C. Hen- derson said the Premier's' announcement is: "Good news to our -rural com- munity — especially at this time with'our""'rural residents undergoing such increasing costs because of inflation and high interest rates". At the present time, Ontario Hydro's "rural" retail system or rural power district serves more than 770,000 retail customers or 27 per cent of the electricity customers in the province. These are in addition to the more than two million retail customers served through the 324 retail municipal electric utilities which obtain their hulk power at cost from Ontario Hydro. "The percentage of Ontario electrical con- sumers served by municipal utilities is increasing steadily. Government policy continues to be aimed in that direction. But the consequences of the comparatively higher rates for those not served by municipal utilities are obvious. Therefore, I have di'reeled that ways he found not only to avoid this rate trend but 'to reverse it", said Premier Davis. live happily ever after, but that'snottrue for the purchaser. .How do we cope with> .risi•pg interest rates and ' galloping inflation? We must start with careful analysis of the farm business. Financial and production records must be kept on a sound basis. Accurate 'com- piling of profit and loss statements and cash flow is so essential in making a pitch to •a financial institution. Make sure you shop around in purchasing inputs. Generally .prices are very competitive. But. if there is a difference, take advantage of it. Work closely with the manager in setting.a line of credit with one bank. Establish a line of credit' for one full year. An operating loan •of $5p,000 will cost $700 per. month in interest. -. Whene_v_ex_-,- possible,. work land acquisition and major building and. equipment purchasing into long term borrowing. Above all, finances must be worked out on paper. Make sure there is enough cash . flow to service the debt. In a lot of instances, there is great volume but poor profit. Make use of all bench marks. - Take a good look at capital turnover. A good situation is two years gross income to equal the farm investment. In a successful operation, 35-40 per cent of farm sales would be retained for debt ser- vicing, labor, and living. Production .goals will Continue to be very im- portant. Good production figures are 400,000 pounds of milk for a 30 dairy cow herd and 18 pigs per sow ' per' year in:. hogs. Far-, ming in the 1980s will continue to .be more specialized. Recent rapid increases in soybeans will not likely continue in 1980. Acreage was under 1,000 acres five • years ago.,It rose to 8,000 in 1978 and doubled to 16,000 acres last, year. Poor harvest conditions, lower yields and white mould in 1979- may be cause of a return 'for many Huron farmers to white beans. The number of acres planted in winter wheat last fall is nearer a normal. level than for a few years becaus-e • of better fall weather and planting conditions. We can expect a trend in the --80s--to._.-mores corn silage and ' more • production per . acre per farm. Everyone desires to improve their production goals:- -This goes with specialization. When I came to Huron in 1968, there were 1,500 milk producers. That number has dropped off to less than 500, but they have almost as many cows producing as much or more milk. In spite of all of the adverse conditions, farmers are innovative, flexible and. willing ,.to cope with'risks.
