Farmers Compete With Other
Farmers In Building Markets
A farm management specialist
at North Carolina Mate couc S <
says that “no amount of com
plaining will ever change the
fact that farmers are competing
against farmers.”
The ‘ specialist, Robert S. Boal,
says that sometimes writers and
speakers point to other parts of
agribusiness as the cause of
farm problems.
“Investigation usually shows,
however,” Boal stated, “that a
lower price or lost market has
been brought on by other farm
ers in other areas.”
‘These other farmers,” he con
tinued, “have been willing to
supply higher quality, take low
er prices or .give more services
such as better grading, more
acceptable packages, promotional
tie-ins and the like. Sometimes,
they may have only built a rep-

that operates in the northeastern

The difference regarding the in

Louisiana is the difference in the
intellect of the two governors in

Boal says that farmers who
vish to secure dependable out
lets and to be assured of mar
ket price need to increase their
market power. And he believes
the key to market power is ser
vice, which can be provided by
at least four ways:
(1) Becoming large enough to
do the job alone.
(2) Producing for reliable large
scale shipping firms.
(3) Contracting for the services
of shippers who can do
this job.
(4) Cooperating with other
farmers to provide such
services themselves.
Remember, Boal concluded,
modern markets demand pro
ducts having uniform quality in
volume from dependable sup
pliers.
