PROFITEERING BY FARMERS
DENIED BY DIRECTOR OF
OSC EXTENSION SERVICE
Facts do not bear out charges
that Oregon farmers are "profit
eering" and taking unfair ad
vantage of consumers during the
current period of high prices.
states F. L: Ballard, associate di
rector, OSC extension service, who
adds that on the basis of current
farm costs, prices received by far
mers are not out of line with the
general price level.
Although prices of farm com
modities as well as those of other
products have continued to spiral
upwards, 1945 was the banner
year for farmers, Ballard asserts.
Since 1945, farm production costs
have climbed even more rapidly
than the prices farmers have re
ceived for their products. As a
result, profit margins are narrow
er. The cost of producing farm
commodities in Oregon during
November 1947 the last month
for which figures were available
was nearly three times as
much, 286 per cent, as it was dur
ing a comparison period 1935 to
1939.

ing on a farm business, Ballard
states that during the compari
son month, November 1947, farm
workers nationally were receiving
just less than three and one-half
times as much in wages, 342 per
cent, as they were getting during
the five years starting in 1935.
Oregon ranks third in farm wag
es paid. Last November in Ore
gon the price of some important
farm feedstuffs were at the fol-
lowine percentages compared
with the 1935-1939 period: bar
ley. 301 : oats, 2S9; whert, 357, and
hay, 236.
Only two major animal pro
ducts which farmers sell, beef
cattle and hoys, had reached
heights in November over three
times the quotations for the base
period," Ballard declares. "Beef
cattle and hogs, had reached
1935-39 base figure. Hogs reach
ed 303 percent."
During the month of Novem
ber, eggs were selling on the
farm at 296 percent of the base
price. Butterfat was bringing the
farmer about 81 cents per pound
or over two and one-half times
the base price. Chickens were
bringing 178, turkeys 195 and
wool 1S5 percent of the 1935-39
average.
The comparison period, 1935 to
1939, were not particularly flush
years for farmers, Ballard adds.
The services of the middleman
in the distribution process be
tween farm and retail shopper
has added greatly to the retail
cost of farm produce. The increas
ed cost of labor has made itself
felt in this field particularly.
Speaking of the national aver
age, farmers as a group are not
exactly overprivileged, according
to Ballard. Farm income during
the best recent year, 1945, was
$743 per capita for farm people.
During the same year the per
capita income for non-farmers
topped this figure more than $500,
to reach a total of $125A.
As to how the country dweller
compares with his city neighbor
in some of life s advantages, Bal
lard points to these figures: In
the United States, 96 percent of
the non-farm homes are served
with electricity; just over one
half, 52 percent, of farm homes
are wired, though this percentage
is much higher in Oregon. Sixty-
two percent of urban homes have
electric refrigerators while 27 per
cent of rural homes have an elec
tric ice-box.
In 1945, more than one-fifth of
the rural homes in the nation
were in need of major repairs,
due, principally, to neglect suf
fered during years of low farm
prices. During the same year, but
one-twelfth of city homes needed
a major overhauling.
Farmers as far as modern liv
ing is concerned, out-distance
their city cousins in only one sta
tistical department, diet. Farmers
set a better table than city dwel
lers, Ballard declares.
