Clinton News-Record, 1974-01-17, Page 12PAGE it.--9LnyTori NEws,Ricopp,, THVRS AY, JANUARY )7, 1974 4-1 ARCHAMBAULT—GRAHAM Agricultural tidbits with Afdrian Vos It seems that Mrs. Plumtree's Food prices review Board at last has knuckled under to the critics of her board. So it ap- pears to me anyway. Any business that has had a loss in one year will try to make up for this loss in subsequent years and nobody will accuse them of taking undue profits. When it comes to the farmer egg producer however, this is branded as such by the Board. And even if profit would be reduced, it couldn't be 'very much for the total profit 'is only 4.37c a dozen. According to Hensall's Bill Mickle, a director of the Egg Marketing Board, 3c per dozen is needed to pay off the debts and other business losses from the last two bad years. What about it consumers, are you too going to insist that these far- mers must stay under their debt load for a measly 3c per dozen of eggs? Or are you thinking with me that we are obliged to pay them now for the eggs we bought when they were subsidized by the egg producer. I have always had confidence in the ability of the family farm to compete with the large corporate farm. The reason is quite simple. If the cow is about to have a calf or the sow a litter of piggies and a man is paid by the hour, there is not too much incentive to go up in the night for a look of how things are in the barn. This lack. of personal involvement can be pointed out in almost every phase of food production. Thus to be efficient there have to be limitations on the size of the operation. The big companies with money to burn decided to try it in the USA. To name a few: S.S. Pierce Co., CBK Agronomics, Inc., The Gulf and Western Industries, Inc.,- The Gates Rub- ber CO., Ivlidtiponics. They couldn't justify it to their shareholders and pulled out, Others as Purex and Tenneco are in the process of pulling out, What is left will be changing over into the contract beisinetle where the fernier will provide the work and the basic capital and the partner working capital and a share of the risk and the profit. As an American economist put it: 'Who is going to sit tip with the corporate sow at night," AMATO 1$ 1141117 A 'TOY.

Mr. .VanPongen was nice enough to save two cows and milked them for us so we could watch, Next we went to Mr. Forbes' barn. When we got there we found lots of cats running all over the place. Again we were fortunate because once we arrived there, there was a man- that also just got there who was about to start an artifiCial in- semination. Mr. Forbes had about 35 cows and 20 of them were about to have calves. The nearest cow to having a calf was due in 4 or 5 days.
