A few equipment dealers in the area contacted by The Times -Advocate confirmed that their sales were down this year compared to last year, and virtually all agreed that low prices of farm produce and the cost of borrowing money are the prime factors affecting their customers. A few reported improved sales compared to 1980 in spite of disappointing prices for harvested crops and the cost of borrowing for new machinery. "Our sales volume went up this year," said Martin Vincent, owner of Vincent Farm Machinery in Seaforth. "The farmer today is one of our biggest businessmen and he has to plan ahead. I think they are trying to look ahead," he said to explain why they are still buying. According to Nelson Monteith of Exeter, this year was about the same as last in dollar sales in spite of a slight surge last month. "All of our implements are in demand right now. Our buyers seem to be willing to replace or trade more than they used to," he said, He added that his service bays are full now with more on the way in. "If the weather is good, people will keep working." Paul Steckle, of CG Farm Equipment in Zurich said his business had sold as much as it did last year. "People have been buying a little more cautiously now. They had to work a little harder for their returns," he said. He said he hoped to see in- terest rates decline next year. although "we have to sales unste be cautious. The older farmers can weather this period better than the newer ones." he said. Harry Van Gerwen of Ex- eter Farm Equipment reported that sales were down slightly this year. "Most of our customers are smaller farmers, and they have been hurt badly. The cost of borrowing has made a big impact," he said. Van Gerwen added that he had heard of some closures of dealerships north of the Exeter area. "They may have gambled a bit when they opened up, and the bad timing plus the high interest rates was probably too much. When borrowing lots of money, this can hurt in a hurry," he said.' "The problem with the farming business is that we are directly connected to the world market over which we have no control," he observ- ed. Van Gerwen opened his ESCAPIST SPEAKS - The guest speaker at Wednesday's Remembrance Day bonquet at the Exeter Royal Canadian Legion branch was Roy Scott of Toronto who belongs to the Royal Air force Escapist Society. He told about his progress in getting to freedom after be- ing shot dowry in France during the Second World War.

Bob Johnston and Glen Thurmin scored in the third with Almonte picking up another goal too. The final was 4-3 for Zurich.

Johnston fired in a third period goal to give Zurich the game with a score of 4-3. Goalie Doug' Cavener was really under fire in the third game. Zurich again was trying to overcome an early lead by the Niagara Falls Skylon team. when Merner tied the game 1-1 in the second period. Niagara Falls then blasted in eight goals in the second and third periods. Johnston scored again for Zurich. but Niagara Falls slipped two more past Cavener giving Zurich.an 11 to 2 drubbing. Zurich however moved on to a breath -taking semi final game. Tied 4-4 with the Sarnia Oilers after three periods and a five minute overtime, the teams each selected 10 players for a shoot-out. After the first shot it was still tied. but up one goal each at 5-5 The third shot pulled Sar- nia ahead 6-5. George Suplat replied on the fourth again tying at 6-6 The sixth players shooting also exchanged goals mak- ing it 7-7 Don O'Brien slipped in his seventh round shot to pull Zurich ahead 8-7. The Oldtimers must have breathed a collective sigh of relief as the the ensuing three shoot -offs neither team scored Zurich moved to the final having defeated the Sarnia Oilers 8-7. 1t was bad news for Zurich in the final as they again fac- ed the Niagara Falls team. The Skylons were held scoreless for the first period. but chalked up a four goal lead in the second. Niagara Falls made it 5-0 early in the third. hut the Has -Beans started to come back. Glenn Thurmin. Ron Watt and Gerald Shantz scored one each for Zurich. but time was running out. The Has -Beans had to set- tle for second place and the silver medal. Niagara Falls took home the gold. after winning 5-3. business in''t9M. He remembers 1973-74 as a good year for selling. "A farmer is a very big spender of money. However, if he has no income, he won't spend at all." When asked about his customers' buying habits, he said, "Most farmers like to replace . their machinery every five years. They trade them in before they are heavily affected by depreciation or being ob- solete. I woyld say that three-quarters of them do this." "The implement business can be unsteady. If the farmer stops buying, the; dealer is hurt immediately." Bill Froats, owner of Lucan Farm Equipment, said his sales were down "quiteabitfrom last year," and did not expect to see any improvement for two years. "Business was good two years ago, when commodity prices were higher. But the business takes some cycles, and it takes a while for things to improve. I have heard that beef prices will be building up again in two years," he said. Dick Vandergunst . of Ex- eter Ford Equipment said his sales improved a bit over 1980, although he does not expect 1982 to be better. "The interest rates land commodity prices are caus- ing problems now, and the banks are being cautious about credit, too," he said. "Sales in 1975 were good; that was the best year for a -long time. Commodity prices and crops were both good." he said. Vandergunst has been sell- ing for 11 years. If a farmer doesn't make money, he can't spend it. The bigger farms may store their crops for next year, but the smaller ones have to sell at the price they can get," he said. Jack Van Bussel, of Huron Tractor in Exeter noticed a slight slump in his equip- ment sales this year, but "I'm quite optimistic for 1982. If commodities come up a bit. it would benefit us all." he said. He agreed that commodity prices and interest rates are to blame for the present poor conditions in farming. "If the commodities came up 30 percent, the interest rates would not hurt so much." he suggested. The impact on his business has not been too heavy, though. "We were down less than 10 percent, and we had budgeted for that, so we are not disappionted." The bulk of his stock is made by John Deere. He has been in business for 20 years. When asked to name the best year in memory, he cited 1979. Gabby Mol, owner of Sherwood Ltd in Exeter said his sales were better this year as a result of a prosperous six-month run beginning in January. Buyers this year were helped by good yields on their crops but falling prices made their profits smaller, he said. "There won't be any buy- ing of equipment until the spring. when the farmers can get a good return for their corn." he said when asked for a forecast for 1982. Mol took over the business in 1973. and today he es- timates he normally sells up to 30 major pieces of equip- ment a year. "Five or six years ago, we had very good conditions. People were deciding to buy quickly. and land was lower in price. Farms were expan- ding and fuel was cheaper, too." he said. New sales account for 60 percent of his business. while the remainder is used. "Some customers wait two years before replacing a new piece of equipment: others use it for five years." he said. His dealership does a lot of trade-ins as part of selling. "The maximum affor- dable rate of interest for farmers is 12 to 15 percent. Farmers today owe more money than before." he said. According to Bob Dechert, assistant regional manager for loans for the Farrn Credit Corp. office in Guelph. the new federal budget has given the cor- poration $50 -million more to assist farmers "in financial distress". Five million of that is allocated to rebate the interest rates on their loans to 11.75 percent for two years. he said. The remaining $45 -million is available for loans until April of next year. Any farmer who does not qualify for help under the Small Business Bond will be eligible for an FCC loan, he said. Dechert added that farmers in Ontario had used $109 million in loans from the corporation since last April.
