How to cope with
the low pork prices
Carl Moore of Embro had some
tips for living with $25 weaners at
a recent farrow -to -finish short
course at Centralia. Mr. Moore is
a -former ag rep with the Bank of
Montreal, now operating a dairy
and hog operation in Oxford
County.
He predicted farmers will see
$25 weaners and that low prices
could persist for another 18
months. At these prices a'farrow
operator will be looking at a
gross income of .$350 per sow
instead of the SI ;000 per sow he
was grossing a year ago.
An operator who had an $8,000
monthly gross and $6,000 monthly
expenses in 1979 could be looking
at $3,000 income and $6,500 ex-
penses in 1980, which would build
into a 12 -month deficit of $42,000.
The operator has to examine
his cash flow and eliminate ex-
penses which aren't really
necessary, There may also be
small inventory items which can
be converted into cash. It's vital
to R•et on top of the situation
early, Mr. Moore stressed. The
operator who doesn't face up to
an income problem will have a
day .of reckoning.
Mr. Moore said in his ex-
perience machinery purchases
are the main contributor to
financial problems. The manager
who is hard pressed lhas no
alternative but to sell machinery
he can , get along without. An
early decision could mean the
difference between keeping the
farm and losing it later on. It
always hurts to sell something
you thought you needed, but the
companies will still be making
good equipment in a few years,
he said.
He added that farmers usually
have too much short-term
money. Principal payments on
$1,000 are $200 per year over five
years and per year over 25
years. The $40 8160 difference builds
into $16,000 less cash outflow per
year if the loan is $100,000. Banks
have 10- to 25 -year d bt consoli-
dation loans, he said, and the
manager in trouble should look
hard at this alternative.
