Quarryville G.P.M 14-15 *354.00 Brockett’s Ag Advice Thru the years I have oc casionally used members of my family to illustrate a point. My children and my wife have usually suffered in silence. Now I would like to use my Dad in an illustration. Dad was a county agent in New Jersey for 43 years. He was an innovator and as such developed marketing programs for county farmers back in the 30’s before it was a popular topic. Another thing that is important to my story is that physically Dad was a big man (185 lb of muscle and bone and 6’l” in his prime). Due to his build and manner he gave the appearance of being a lot bigger than he really was. He also had a pretty good temper and woe unto the person (including we boys) who crossed him. For tunately this didn’t happen too often. Furthermore he was well liked by nearly everyone because he had an infectious laugh, met people easily, was vitally interested in everyone and everything that happened in his county, would fight for his farmers even when he thought they were wrong, and people knew where he stood on an issue. One of his main frustrations, though, was farm marketing. Let’s look at a few illustrations. THE FRUIT MARKET Dad and a small group of fruit producers started one of the early farm markets. The fruit farmers were tired of shipping their produce to New York or Philly and getting pennies and sometimes nothing for it. Dad told them if you all get together and stick together we can bring the buyers to us and com mand a better price. Thus was bom the Hammonton weekly market. Anyone could buy there, from the homeowner who wanted a flat of berries to the chain store buyer who wanted a thousand. The only rules were you had to handle only what you grew, you had to put out a quality pack, and all sales were made as a group. The market started at 5 in the morning. By the time the last of the berries were sold, it would be noon. Jjster) DIESELS 12-36 bhp Lancaster Farming Saturday, March 9,1985-Dll By John E. Brocket! Farm Management Agent Lewistown Extension Office Fanners came in horse or mule drawn wagons, Model T’s and A’s, and even a few cars with flats of berries in the trunk. They did get the buyers. They saved transportation costs. They did get a much better price. What happened? Despite Dad’s arguments (and he could be mighty persuasive) and despite the fact that it would make him mad (and no one wanted that) the market was broken (it took nearly 20 years) because (1) farmers cheated on quality (the people in the city won’t know any better anyway) and (2) the buyers went to a few of the larger growers and made private deals (a nickel more - until the market was kaput then—). The end result - when farmers were able to set their own price and run their own market, they soon acted like the OPEC oil ministers. In the late ‘4o’s and early ‘so’s, Atlantic County lettuce growers found a spot in the market between North Carolina lettuce and Long Island lettuce. Again as with the fruit market above, Dad told them if you stick together and provide a quality pack, you’ll make money. They formed an association and held three auctions a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Quality standards were set and Dad told the buyers that any collusion among them would result in a shut down of supplies. The first year it worked. Prices averaged over $4 a box with 1.50 to 1.75 as a breakeven price. The second year the market was soft because North Carolina’s lettuce was late so supply ex ceeded demand. There was still a profit because the farmers discarded lettuce once when it appeared as though the buyers were ganging up on them. The third year prices were again good, but some farmers snuck in some junk - this hurt the entire market. The fourth year the buyers went out to the farmers who consistently put up a good pack and made a contract with them. Once again the farmers had defeated themselves.
