Feed situation hits
1974 is shaping up to be either
the best year on record or one
of the worst, depending on the
type of farm your operate.
One of the sharpest contrasts
in this regard is the grain
grower who is experiencing
relatively high yields and good
prices for all grain crops. On
the other hand, poultrymen and
livestock producers who must
depend on large amounts of
grain for feed are experiencing
losses from the sale of their
products.
According to Clackam as
County
Extension
Agent
Clayton Wills, there is no
simple solution to the serious
problem facing livestock and
poultry producers. Consumers
may feel that low priced
poultry, eggs, meat and milk is
a good idea, but if more
poultrymen are forced out of
business because of high feed
prices, the long-run effect will
be higher prices at the
supermarket.
The situation for Clackamas
County b ro iler growers is
critical as we learn that some
eggs in hatcheries were
destroyed during August rather
than being hatched and raised
at a loss. Several growers have
been in touch with the E x
tension office questioning
whether or not they should take
the risk of raising birds this fall

Burkhart concluded
after looking at high feed prices
and guaranteed low returns.
To these individuals facing
dollar losses, the record high
prices paid to grain farmers,
coupled with increased grain
exports add up to one thing—
feed prices too high to make a
p ro fit from raising eggs,
broilers or turkeys.
There are no simple answers
to complex problems such as
these, but one of the long-range
prospects must be higher
consumer food prices if the
livestock and poultry industries
are to stay in business.
For many years the U.S. has
favored the policy of free trade
between nations. A grave
question exists, however, when
we see free trade in com
modities such as wheat, corn
and soybeans which flow freely
to foreign countries while our
broilers, turkeys and other
meats are stopped at the gates
of these countries because of
restrictive tariffs, levies or
other economic regulations. As
consumers, we should have an
interest in these foreign trade
policies.

in Oregon more than in many
states, dim inishing payrolls
