The new economic climate should especially
favor Harvestore System farmers, always
leaders in efficiency. While others may be
at the mercy of economic forces beyond *
their control, Harvestore System farmers
take advantage of opportunities such as
these:
• Reducing off-farm purchases through more
efficient use of home-grown feeds.
- • Producing more meat.or milk per acre by reducing
feed storage arid handling losses.
• Making each animal produce more through the
use of more nutritious rations.

* NEW IRA OF AGRICULTURAL EFFICIENCY
...Ushered in by the PHILOSOPHY OF "REAGANOMICS"
The supply side concepts dubbed “Reaganomics” are
getting a chance to cure our ills, and this
philosophy seems likely to dominate the political scene for
many years to come.
ongress has yet to tackle the new farm bill, but the
egislation will almost certainly reduce government
nvolvement In agriculture. As spokesman for the
idministration, secretary of agriculture Block has
xpressed strong commitment to free market
policies. Ah early signal of this trend was the admin- ®
istration's refusal to increase dairy product price
supports earlier this year.
Further reductions in dairy price supports may put some producers out of
business, but most could survive through, such actions as stringently culling
low producers and paying greater attention to feed costs. In the end, better
management could yield greater profit from smaller but more efficient herds.
Many other factors add up to make increasing efficiency the best strategy
for the 80’s. Every farmer recognizes tHat the high cost of land, energy,
labor, credit, fertilizer, and other farm inputs make it more important than
ever to squeeze out every possible penny of profit.
CLEARLY, WE ARE ENTERING A NEW ERA OF FARMING EFFICIENCY,
AND FOR PROGRESSIVE OPERATORS SUCH AS HARVESTORE SYSTEM
FARMERS, REAGANOMICS COULD BE THE KEY TO NEW PROSPERITY.
