NURWICH BBLEETIN, SATURBAY; MAY 29; 1973 i > (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) In a recent issue The Connecticut Farmer discusses intelligently and for- cibly the lack of tradins abllity on the part.of farmers, taking them as they run. For a long time agricultural writers have been dwelling, more or less urg- ently, on this subject. “The farmer must be a good business man to suc- ceed,” is the burden of the ory—the text of the sermon. My friend of The Farmer writes: “The average farmer Is a mighty poor trader. ‘en farmers know how to produce—yes, do produce—high- grade commodities, and, on the aver- age, only one of the ten know how to market to the best advantage, The ability to trade !s just as_lmportant as the ability to produce. Unless the farmer is a trader his profits are di- vided in such a way that the other fellow—the fellow who buys of him— makes as much out of the transaction ms the original producer. The ma- jority of farmers are content when the crop is harvested or the commodity produced. But the farmer who allows his business to drift with the tide from this point lacks the one at :'c\}l_flsite of a successful business, the ability to trade.” This is all true. Owing to this very thing, the lack of business or trad- ing ability on the part of most farm- ers, these who have it and who buy his products of him not only “make s much out of the transaction as the original producer,” but, as frequently collected statistics have repeatedly shown, make very much more. The truck raisers and fruit and berry grow- ers of New Jersey and Long Island, for example, get, on an average, 35 cents for every dollar’s worth of their goods. The traders who handle the Zoods and pass them on to consumers Zet the other 65 cents—almost twice what they pay the producer, Fur- thermore, it costs the producer like sin to grow those crops. His receipts are not all profits. It is seriously to be doubted if one-tenth of these receipts are profits. The rest is eaten up in rowing expenses. F 80 Tou see the situation ls really very much worse than my friend the Mitor of The Farmer states it. He is, moreover, well within reason- able ground when he assumes that ten farmers can raise good crops to one who can sell his crop with ad- vantage. Such amateur advisers as_Railroad President Hill and Banker Vanderlip and Merchant Wanameker are not well informed as to actual facts and conditions when they undertake to tell us that our remedy lies simply in pro- ducing more crop on the same ground. Fhat is certainly a good thing to do— If you can sell the increased crop for mough more to pay the extra cost of producing it. But when, as is the case with many farmers, all they can get for the crops they do raise is not snough to pay profits on them even when production-cost is kept down to the very lowest minimum, it is hard to see how the large increase in pro- duction expense necessary to bring about increased croppage can become & source of great profit. If it costs me a dollar to raise $1.08 worth_of crop, you may be perfectly sure that it will cost me more than two lollars to double the crop on the same ground, i. e. to raise $2.06 worth. It is almost always possible for almost anyone of us to double his production, acre for acre. But no one has tried to do it will be apt to dispute the asser- Hon that it usually costs more than it somes to—unless better than ruling prices can be had for the increased crop W sta ich brings us right back to our ng-point. According to Webster, a farmer is “one who is devoted to the tillage of the soil That, certainly, is what most of us have been brought up to consider the farmer’s first work and chief vocation- end. He is a tiller of the soil, for the purpose of raising crops. To so till the soil as to grow good crops is something of a trick. At least, it is here in New England. It keeps an or- dinary man's hands full and calls for etty strict attention about all the time. Moreover, it takes a certain spe- become in high degree an expert in soll treatment and crop management. ‘The work of raising good crops and the work of selling good crops are two absolutely different tasks and call for two entigely dissimlilar forms of abillty and expertness, Don't let's forget that, Also, it Is rather unusual to find in any one man of any vocatior superior ability and trained expertness in two or more lines at the same time. The men who attain emlnent success are apt to be the men who do one thing, for dolng which they have speclal ca- pacity, and which they do so persist- ently and long that they become ex- perts. The man who can do twe things at & time and do them both well is an exception—a sort of white blackbird. Yet the farmer Is expected to have this double ability and this double expertness every year and all the year. He is expected to be able to Taise good crops—which is one thing: and to be able to turn himself into an ex- pert salesman on cail at any minute— which is quite another thing, without stopping to wash his hands or change his shirt! He has got to do both, if he is to attain emlnent success. He can't sell things unless he first ralses them, that’s flat. Therefore he must be a doctor and a tillage expert. When he's raised them, them he must in- stantly metamorphose and transmogri- fy himself into a first-class salesman or he won't get enough for them to pay the raising. It's just a I-e-e-t-l-e too much to asic of us common critters! Don’t misunderstand me: I'm in with both hands and both feet for better farming, better tillage, better fertiliza- tion, better crops. But not e single one of those emin- ently desirable ends is so urgent a need for the farming community as the securing of better prices. Now, Mrs. Consumer, don't hop up mad and begin to cry about present high prices and the “greedy” farm- ers. Save your adjectives for the mid- dlemen who are taking your money. Tm not anxious to have you pay & penny more for anything farm grown then” you're paying now. The trou- ble i that, as a rule, you don't pay it to the farmer and the farmer doesn't get it. What I demand for the farmer as a matter of simple faimness, is not that you shall pay another dollar, but that he shall get the most of the dol- lar you now pay instead of about a third of it. That's all. I don't want Qosetonas ey Topvel S oM 0] but I want what you pay to go for the goods and not for tolis at utterly unnecessary gates erected against pub- lic policy across the road between you the producers. The editor of The Farmer frankly says that to his mind one of the great- est rural uplifts in the future will be “the coming of an organized effort to improve the methods of trading inc: dent to the selling of farm products.” Right you are, Brother! Especially right in speaking of it as “an organized effort.” Thats' just what co-operation means and is. And right along this very line lies one of the chief and most practical values of co-operation. In every dozen farmers there is likely to be one, at least, who has a natural knack for trading end selling. He isn't apt to be a very good farmer, so far as raising things is concerned. But he could sell stuff, if he had it to sell. His neighbors don't go to him for advice about how to produce more potatoes or how to get better hay, but they're generally free to ask him who's paying the best prices for eggs, or what pork’s worth, or if he knows any- body that wants to buy a good cow, just in, with calf by her side. Etc., et Now, co-operation means, among other things, the taking over of that man’s trading ability and selling knack into the service of his_ com- munity, making it count big for all concerned, instead of allowing it to be frittered away In aimless and scanty hagglings over pints and packs. It means that I, who have no fond- ness for trading and no skill at it, shall with my eleven like neighbors, have the benefit of this natural trader’s cial ability.
