RAY i Assistant Agent) j ,T""hat is the outlook for farm ( uig during the next few months? During the past six months this questtion has a j L<:en in 'he minds of many of ur people. Of course, no ne can give a definite answer * 'i such a question; however, ? -h?re are indications of what we might expect during the i next few years. F\-st, it seems to me that the i period of farmers doing a hap hazard job and still making I i money is about over. Froml [her? out. I believe farmers will] | have to do a belter job of man- i j agement and cut every corner possible to keep production costs at a minimum. This is . true because prices are level- ' ing off on most farm pro- j ducts. To the dairyman this means the* h. must produce t he ? best roughage possible fori ; his cows so that he can elimi- ; ! rat 1 buying so much expensive | ....- nr,d prot?in feed A com .&''<n of aood lesume hay, milage, plus pienty of good , . me. seem to oe the bes' > i. ? hagi program for dairy ' c H" mu cull his cows' j ? rigidly and obtain high , i: tctir.n. Artificial breeding , ?u'.d b? used and the dairy i. n should set a goal of 9,000 i i intls of milk per c;ow. For the poultryman, there is . :reat need for better sanita i ion. It takes a healthy flock hens with good breeding be ; them to pay their way. i l "his year egg prices are ex- 1 | optionally good: however, II i ? io not advise- a person to jump ! j ir. to the poultry business at I this time. In all probability' 1 prices will not be -o good next j --ear. I ! If you havp hogs you should i breed your sows and liy to laise j j 1'irge litters. Hog prices should j i remain good for the next sev | erai months. The beef cattle t people can still make money \ by good management. Produc- i Ir.g chet-p roughage and good ! pas:ure , are a must. Cows i should be bred to drop calves j h, January and February, so) thn;. 500 pound calves can be i produced on pasture during the spring and summer. O her factors that farmers should be concerned with are borrowing money, purchasing machinery, and expanding the size of the farm. Credit, when used wisely, is a very good thing; however, in a period of price decline a farmer may find himself obli gated far more than his in come will justify. Borrowing' should only be done in order ! to maximize farm profits. If ' you believe this can be done,' then arrange fpr long or short j term credit. In my opinion 75 percent of j ' he farms in Western North J Carolina are over mechanized 1 , A cording to records of unit demonstration farmers there Is i evidence to Indicate that the '? more machinery on farms the , lower the net income. It seems : advisable not to invest in ex pensive machinery where it ? must be financed with borrowed ' money. If accumulated prof its are on hand the operator prefers to buy machinery to make his operation easier, even '.hough it won't pay economi cally, I see no reason why he should do so. A tractor to a farmer might mean as much to him as a television set for a city dweller. If a farmer is considering' a juying more land he should lave it appraised on a long ime no-mal agriculture value, rhat is. the farm should pay enough in good years and bad o pay (or itsell if cash is not >aid or else pay a satisfactory eturn on his investment. These are just a few things vhich farmers should be think ng about as they plan their >perations for the canr..ng nonths and year. The lower .?our production costs the more jrofit you can expect to make. If you wish to transplant a logwood tree, be sure to protect he root system and transplant ?efore spring growth starts.
