‘Contract and Concentrate’ Keynote
of N.H. Conference of NEPPCO Co-op
Contract and concentrate
this was the theme of the busi
ness management conference for
.egg and poultry marketing co
operatives sppnsored by the Divi
sion of Cooperatives of the North
eastern Poultiy Producers Coun
cil (NEPPCO) at North Conway,
NH ®
Firing the opening gun in the
program was Hermon I Miller,
poultry division director for the
U S Department of Agriculture.
Miller traced the successful,
highly-integrated course of mar
keting cooperatives on the West
Coast, laying emphasis upon key
elements in their progress
Contracts between pioducer
and marketing organization are
fundamental requirements, Mil
lei told his audience These are
set up so that eggs will be avail
able to the marketing agency in
such a way that it can coordin
ate merchandising programs in
the most efficient manner.
“MANY OF THE agencies in
volved have such efficient quality
conti ol measures that hand can
dling is kept to a minimum,”
reported Miller in stressing the
quality end of the marketing
program. “In tact, under this

system, the only observation of
the eggs through the candling
procedures is on a flash basis in
order to detect obvious defects
such as blood spots ”
An actual field report on re
sults from quality contract ar
rangements was described by
K M. Souders, manager of the
Producers Cooperative Exchange,
Coatesville, Pa In discussing the
new contract program adopted by
his organization, Soudeis related
how the co op has now set up
contracts with about 28 large
shippers
SINCE LARGER shippers are
more economical for the co-op
to handle, Souders reported, they
have been able to offer these a
quantity incentive of approix
mately one cent per case Since
this is added atop the incentive
price for producing best quality
eggs “Fancy-One,” it means that
some growers are taking in an
add.honal $l2OO to $l5OO per
year, he said.
Souders indicated that even
tually cooperatives and ofhar mar
keting agencies may have to ex
ert controls in other directions

Repwcntattics wi principal foreign countries
and quantity The selection of the
strain of chicks, type of teed,
housing conditions and poultry
health programs are all items
that may eventually become part
of the contract arrangements, he
intimated
“The quality egg of 10 years
ago is not good enough for to
day’s needs,” Souders told the
cooperative leadeis “Members
seem to be slow to recognize
that others could steal their mar
kets with integrated programs ”
“WHETHEPf WE LIKE it or
not,’ be continued, “if we want
to keep our members producing
eggs profitably, sooner or later
we shall have to pay members on
a gradedout basis for quality and
size ”
This type of program, he de
clared, would bring home to
members the importance of such.j
things as chicks, feed and health
