Reader says do less
and get more

If strikes, boycotts or any
other types of rebellion fails,
there is only one peaceful,
practical alternative. The
federal government should
take over all farm land
property. This system offers
unlimited possibilities. You
will be able to keep on far

invest one cent of your own
Swine future uncertain
HOUSTON, Tex. - Glenn
Grimes, University of
Missouri Extension
economist, warns swine
producers that marketing
uncertainties would face
them in 1978.
Grimes, speaking at the
swine conference during the
59th annual meeting of the
American Farm Bureau
Federation, said; “The size
of producing units is getting
larger. They are increasing
at the approximate rate of
seven per cent per year.
“One larger unit is known
to have 20,000 sows,” he said,
“and probably the ceiling
hasn’t been reached yet.”
Large* hog units are not
uncommon and many are
over 10 years old, but most
are specialized-type units,
he explained.
Also Grimes said more
than 50 per cent raise no feed
grain, this means grain for
hog feed is a cash constant in
the hog industry. With stable
to higher grain prices and
mcreased hog production
expected in 1978, Grimes
looks for the following price
trends:
First Quarter: 20 million
money. The best part of all is
that you will be paid a
guaranteed salary and
everything you need to
operate would be supplied by
the government.
So, if we farmers cannot
solve our problems on our
own, there is always
someone who will - and NOT
ALWAYS TO OUR AD
VANTAGE!

expected slaughter, $3B-41
expected price;
Second Quarter
million, $36-39;
Third Quarter: 21 million,
$35-37;
Fourth quarter: 22 million
$35.
Grimes believes with a
trend to larger producing
units, swine producers could
see an eventual change in
marketing and pricing
patterns.
