Two assets for farm business
BY DAVE LITTLE
AGRICULTURAL REPRESENTATIVE
•
Some salesmen get the cart before the'
horse. They sell the idea that service assets
can pay for themselves. ,Expensive silos
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of have been sold on the promise of better feed
assets making up a dairy farm business; - . and less work. Expensive combines have
1) production assets: livestock, stored feeds been sold on the promise of saving more
and quota grain and time. Anil so on.
2) service assets: land; buildings and equip-
ment
Production assets earn money, or can be
easily converted to cash if they are not need-
ed to keep the milk cheque coming in. Ser-
vice assets don't make money. Instead, they
are overhead items that are needed (or are
believed to be needed) to maintain a dairy'
herd.
Successful growth of a dairy business
depends on the basic concept of always hav-
ing enough production assets around- tosafe,.
ly make the payments on the service assets
being acquired. Keeping the horse before

controllable and uncontrollable, these pro="
raises might eventually, come true. But in •
the meantime, it's the prqduction assets
that have to make the payments.
Almost all of the farm casiralties we hear
about these days are the., result of these
kinds of promises that did not come true.
Almost always they are farms with too .

And, not enough quota and milk cows at
each stage of the farm's service asset ex-
pansion to make the payments. The cart

Milk quotas
won't be reduced
MISSISSAUGA-Industrial milk quotas
(Market -Sharing Quota) held by Ontario
dairy farmers will not be reduced on August
1, the beginning of the 1985-86 dairy year.
The Ontario Milk Marketing Board made
the decision following a recently announced
reduction in Canada's national market shar-
ing quota of 1.6 per cent.
Board Chairman, Ken McKinnon explain-
ed that the national reduction largely per-
tains to that portion of quota which is
designated for export purposes.
"Because consumption of dairy products
in Canada is relatively stable, there is no
need to change the portion of national quota
set for domestic requirements. However,
severely depressed world prices for dairy
products necessitate a reduction in the por-
tion designated for export purposes," he
said.
Mr. McKinnon explained that there was
no need for Ontario to reduce quotas of in-
dividual producers because the Board
already has, or will accumulate throughout
the 1985-86 dairy year, sufficient quota in its
own "bank" to offset Ontario's share of the
national reduction.,
Changes to levy rated and structure were
also announced for the 1985-86 diary year.
The, within -quota levy, applied .on milk
shipments made within a producer's
market sharing quota, has been divided into
two separate components and rates, one for
skim milk surplus resulting whenbutterfat
requirements for Canada are met, and one
for that portion of quota designated for the
export of whole milk products. The first rate
applies on shipments not exceeding 96 per
cent of a producer's quota. The second rate
applies on shipments made between 96 and
not exceeding 100 per cent of a producer's
quota. The new rates are $5.4 per hectolitre
and $29.73 per hectolitre, respectively.
(Previous within -quota levy rate was $5.75
'per hectolitre).
Producers will make their own decision to
produce for all of the.export quota for whole
milk products; or any portion of it.
The over -quota levy rate, applied on
shipments made in excess of a producer's
rharket-sharing quota, is $38.00 per het-
tolitre' (up from $36.00 per hectolitre}.
Prices for industrial milk remain at present
levels unless changes in target return levels
. and support prices for butter and skim milk
powder are announced by the federal
authorities.
