Placing the responsibility for making the final decision to sell your crop on someone else’s shoulders. Seek out and read as much market information as you can. Talk to your account executive, extension marketing specialist, elevator manager, and anyone else knowledgeable about marketing your crop. But remember that it’s your property and the decision to sell is your responsibility. Just make sure that the decision is as a well informed one. Marketing a crop without computing your target or selling price: This should never be done, says German. Variable costs plus fixed costs equal your break even price. The break even price plus return to management plus desired profit equal your target pnce-the price you’re willing to accept. Locking m a loss: Con ditions may improve if prices aren’t good. It takes a certain degree of “fine tuning” to decide upon an acceptable price. At times you may be better off to contract or sell a part of your crop at a price that gives you a return to MARIATE 4-lb.

On the other hand, you may be short-changing yourself by not f igunng costs at all, or pricing yourself out of the market by demanding too high a return and profit. Failure to accept a price other than your most desired one may sometimes result in your having to accept losses that were totally un necessary. So be realistic in setting your pricing goals. Experience knowledge will help you avoid most of these pitfalls. The best way to do an ef ficient job of selling your crop is to become involved in the marketing process and leam how to use your alternatives. Combining them skillfully is likely to improve your marketing program--and your profits. Different circumstances prevail in the marketplace at different times. These will dictate the use of different alternatives. No single marketing technique is ideal all the time. C-fIH-O/f 'NS6ct/c/d E , 2'GAI R *e. 10.10 09?
