Official market news just a phone call away
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Whether you're a producer,
processor, wholesaler, or
volume buyer, staying on top
of the market trends is the
name of the game. Up-to-the
minute market news reports
for most commodities are
available when you want
them-on the telephone.
That’s the idea behind the
U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s “instant
market news,” a con
venience provided by
USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS) in
cooperation with some state
departments of agriculture.
Automatic telephone
answering devices enable
the user to get current in
formation on the supply,
demand, prices, movement
and other market factors for
cotton, dairy products, eggs,
fruits, grains, livestock,
poultry, tobacco, vegetables,
ornamental crops, peanuts,
wine, honey and sugar. The
taped reports are updated as
needed during the work day
to accurately reflect the
market trends, and are
available 24 hours a day in
most instances.
Instant market news is not
new-just bigger and more
sophisticated. The first such
machine was installed in
Salmas, Calif., in 1936, and
lettuce reports were
featured. During the late
1960’s many AMS market
Yogurt booklet offered
ROSEMONT, 111. - Lemon
gmger chicken and a sur
prise chocolate pie are just
two of the 35 unique recipes
highlighting yogurt m “The
Wonderful World of
Yogurt,” now being offered
to consumers via national
and local food editors.
The booklet is the third in a
planned series of eight
“Wonderful World 0f...”
publications being prepared
by United Dairy Industry
Association’s com
munications division.

news offices installed the
machine. However, it was
not until 1972 that the
decision was made to expand
the service to cover com
modities reported by AMS’
market news branches
across the country. Today
there are about 225 machines
in operation.
“We have plans to expand
tte service as the need
arises and the money
becomes available,” ex
plains Bob Van Houten,
AMS’ national egg products
market news supervisor.
Future expansion of the
service by each of the other
market news branches is
dependent on the same
factors.
Not all of the market news
message machines are paid
for by AMS or state
departments of agriculture.
Many of them are sponsored
by commodity associations
and private industries which
rely heavily upon quick,
accurate market reports.
The Princeton, New Jersey
livestock market news of
fice, which covers trading
activity from Boston to
Washington, DC, recently
installed a machine spon
sored by the American Calf
Growers Cooperative
Association. A local bank
sponsors a recorder in
Orange County, New York,
covering trading of onions
and other vegetables.
President of the
Already developed in the
series are “The Wonderful
World of Sour Cream” and
“The Wonderful World of
Cottage Cheese.”
UDIA’s new four-color, 16-
page yogurt booklet stresses
the versatility of the highly
popular dairy food. It
features entrees, desserts,
drinks, soups, dips and
salads made with yogurt; a
section telling how to cook
with yogurt; how to make
yogurt as well as how to
freeze it; and quick-serve
yogurt ideas.

.association and Maine
farmer, Norman Justice,
Jr., explained that his
organization is sponsoring
the machine in the Princeton
office so that members and
nonmembers can have an
alternative, impartial
source of accurate market
information rather than go
to the packer with no basis
for comparison.
Feedback from habitual
users of instant market news
has been positive. According
to Angelo Pastore, national
poultry buyer for Grand
Union Company, “the in
stant reports are very
helpful, especially on
Mondays and Fridays when
we want to know how to price
our tickets. I like the service
and would like to see it used
by more of the industry.”
Market news by phone is
not only advantageous to the
industry, but to the operation
of the market news offices as
well. In most cases it frees a
reporter from answering
phone calls for repetition
information, allowing him to

eye on market conditions.
Instant market is by no
means the perfect way to
disseminate information.
Overburdened phone lines
have been a problem in some
offices. Telephone reports
are often too brief for the
requirements of some users,
and others like to keep
records of market prices on
file. For these and other
reasons, “market news by
the telephone will never fully
replace radio and printed
reports,” says Lloyd
McLaughlin with the AMS
grain market news branch,
“but it does provide timely,
accurate information.”
What’s on the horizon for
AMS market news repor
ting? The market news user
may someday have access to
a computer data bank by
