Area Businesses Deal With PIK Aroa Kiitinasca* are mistic about the 1983 agri cultural supply sales. Many businesses have taken steps to deal with the reduced tobacco and corn crops this year Fertilizer, seed and agri cultural chemical dealers ex pect to be the hardest hit by the payment-in-kind pro gram and reduced tobacco allotments this growing season Agriucltural equip ment and parts dealers ex pect a slight decline from the 1982 season. Duplin farmers enrolled 43 percent of 31,038 acres of their 1983 corn crop in the payment-in-kind pro gram. And, another 2,400 acres of wheat was enrolled in PIK for a lotal of 33.438 acres of idle cropland in Duplin this season. Duplin's tobacco poundage was cut 28 percent from the 1982 allot ment, according to county Ag ricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service figures "It looks like about a 50 percent drop in sales this season," George Whaley of Dixie Chemical sales in Beu lavilte said. "Some have estimated a 35-40 percent drop in sales for Duplin, but I think it will be hiaher with so many farmers taking advan tage of the PtK program and the reduced tobacco allot ments this year." According to Whaley, fertilizer prices for the 1983 season have dropped slightly while chemical products have in cresed the sale price. "A 50 percent reduction in sales will hurt," Whaley said. "The reduction in sales cuts our profit but our overhead (utilities and labor) will remain about the same as last year." "There will be the same kind of rush at planting this spring to purchase seed and fertilizer, but it just won't last as long," Whaley added Whaley is a representative for Dixie Chemical Company and a farmer He enrolled in the PIK corn program. "The key to making money on corn is storing it until the price goes up. I could double the money from PIK if I planted my regular crop and tt yielded as good as my t982 crop and stored the corn until 1 the price is up. " Jernigan Tractor Company 1 expects sales of parts and 1 equipment to decline from ' last season. Reduced co acreage will mean lower equipment needs and less repairs, Mary Williamson, owner of Jernigan Tractor Company, pointed out. "I Know the PIK program will have an effect on our business, but right now I don't know what to expect," Mrs. Williamson said. "I think this year will be the determining factor for some farme-s And, maybe the program will help our "busi ness wsthin the next one or two years. But, I don't think our business will pick up until the farmer gets his confidence back in the economy." Parts and repair dealers for agricul'jre-related parts expect a drop in sales. Johnnie Sheppard Equip ment Company of Pink Hill has added new lines of re placement parts hoping to make up the expected re duction in sales. Repair parts for tobacco harvesting equipment is a major source of income from Sheppard Equipment Company. Shep pard pointed out farmers usually spend $1,000 to $1,500 on replacement parts and repairs for automatic harvesters each season. This season's sales are expected to drop because of the de creased tobacco allotments "Farmers are only buying what is necessary," Shep pard said. "We have tried to stock the necessities for farming. We are thinking positively about the PIK program and sales for our business this season. We have tried to buy parts as directly as possible in order to be able to pass the savings on to the farmer. And, we are always looking for a less expensive and better product to offer the farmer, because today farmers are looking for bargains." Shepard Equip ment offers farm machinery replacement parts and auto mobile parts, welding sup plies and operates a machine shop "I think people who will suffer most from the PIK program and the reduction in tobacco allotments will be businesses which are not diversified. The companies totally dependent on one !ype of sales will be hurt nore than a business like Durs," Sheppard said.
