Co Association has recom mended a minimum price of 12 cents per pound for U. S. No. 116-Brix Concord grapes subject to regional price adjustments which may be announced by state associations, according to Harold J. Hartley, AAMA general manager. "Growers are faced with rapidly increasing costs,” Hartley said in making the announcement. “For the past five years the AAMA has recommended price increases of 10 percent to 20 percent a year in an effort to keep up with increasing production costs. This year’s recommended price in crease is a continuation of this effort. “Growers feel that a modest 2 cents per pound increase for Concord grapes is reasonable. In fact,” he continued, “it demonstrates growers’ awareness of the nation’s current sensitivity to food costs. Other processor costs have in creased much more rapidly. Sugar, for example, has increased over 20 cents per pound in the last year.” The AAMA acts as com mon marketing agent for the marketing associations affiliated with state Farm Bureaus in Michigan, Ohio, CAT D 3 Tractor - the small crawler with big crawler features.

The 1974 price recommendation was made on the advice of the AAMA Grape Advisory Committee. The recommendation for the new price structure also reflects the demand for grapes for processing, stro ng consumer demand for juice, wine and other grape products along with a near normal U. S. crop, according to Hartley. Other factors supporting strong producer prices include strong demand indications and low stocks-on-hand. ‘Cleveland Brothers, you’ve got a total package that’s hard to equal.
