To stay in business through the rest of this decade they must do everything they can to minimize costs and maximize returns. This includes doing a more con scientious job of marketing-a difficult task this year. “Gram farmers will need to watch the market closely for pricing opportunities in 1985,” says University of Delaware extension marketing specialist Carl German. “If you see a chance to lock in a profit, do so. Don’t hold back in hopes of a higher price; take a profit when you find one in the near term “We’re not likely to see any significant price increase in grains due to the slack demand and buildup in stocks,” he explains. “For these reasons, opportunities to price grain profitably on the cash market are likely to be fewer and farther between this season.” In order to do a good selling job, farmers must establish a desired selling or target price for each commodity they grow, the specialist says.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 23,1955-Al7 each crop and then divide the total cost by their expected yield. This will give a break-even price for the crop. “We recommend establishing break-even prices based on a high, medium and low yield estimate,” German says. “Once this is done, returns to family living and management can be added to each price in order to establish a target. Then compare current cash market. offerings and other alternatives for 1985 crops until you find one that meets your pricing goals.” This definitely may not be the year to go it alone in terms of the cash market, the economist says. In fact, he suggests farmers seriously consider enrolling in the 1985 Wheat and Feed Grain Program. “Considering the market situation, you may want to establish a minimum selling price for your crop, this can be done by using the 1985 wheat program, the feed gram program for com, sorghum or barley, or possibly the agricultural options market. (March 1 is the deadline for sign up in this year’s wheat and feed grain program).
