There’s a lot more to agriculture
COf&f
By JERRY WEBB

NEWARK, Del. - Inflation
fighters beware, you can’t
have fair farm prices, low
consumer prices, and a free
agriculture all at the same
tune. There is a lot more to
the why of this than politics
as so many seem to think.
You can’t blame the
Republicans or the
Democrats, or anyone else.
Basic economics are at the
root of the problem.
People talk about demand
as the amount of something
that people need. But the
economist points out that
within certain limits people
will buy more or less of
something at different
prices. They buy more as the
price comes down-less as it
goes up.
Tractors will be sold in order that they are con
signed. Our last sale was our largest ever with well
over 300 tractors selling to buyers in over 20 states.
Also a good selection of trucks, combines and farm
equipment. We want to take this opportunity to thank
both you buyers & sellers - See you agam December
12th. Many more items by sale date, few items subject
to prior sale. 25 miles south of Rochester, Mn. 15 mm.

Consider milk as an
example As farmers
produce too much milk the
price has to go down to get
people to buy it. In a free
market, consumers and
farmers arrive at a price
that will clear the market.
All milk produced is sold.
But the market isn’t exactly
free and over a period of
time dairymen have
developed the ability to
produce more milk than
consumers will buy at what
farmers call a fair price.
Then someone thinks of a
way to pull this excess off the
market. But there’s another
economic law at work.
When people have
satisfied their basic needs,
only lower prices will en
courage them to consume
more. After you’ve eaten one
9:00 A.M
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 9,1978—129’
steak you wouldn’t pay much
for seconds. Small amounts
of extra production, then,
can have a disastrous effect
on prices.
But the reverse is also
true. By cutting back just a
bit on production, prices
take more than a propor
tionate climb. This means
farmers as a group can
produce laws and make
more money.
Economists call this
inelasticity. Food, including
milk, tends to have an
inelastic demand. In con
trast, the demand for
automobiles tends to be
elastic. Most of us, it seems,
could use another car quite
easily.
This seems to be one of the
most difficult principles to
explain to farmers or city
dwellers. Consumers are
quick to point to farm sur
pluses and scream at the
folly of paying farmers not to
grow things, or of buying up
the excess they have already
grown.

Col. Richard P. Allen, Auctioneer
Vincentown, N.J
stretching point connected
with farm demand, it’s easy
to see that without some
effort to control farm prices,
we could easily be in a large
mess.
For instance, a 10 per cent
over-production of milk has
kept the dairy business
depressed for years. A little
too much meant a weak
market-low prices.
On the other hand, a 10 per
cent shortage compared to
what consumers think they
want, and prices would take
a tremendous jump.
That’s why some people
can get so excited about
holding auctions, or dum
ping milk. There are lots of
ideas for holding down
output-thus boosting prices.
Some have worked, some
haven't. Some haven’t even
been tried.
A lot is made out of the
efforts that don’t work. And
consumers complain about
the ones that do work. It
seems the farmer can’t be a
hero no matter what hap
pens.
