Costs to NW farmers
double 1977 rate
Prices paid by Pacific
Northwest farmers increased
twice as much in 1978 as they
did a year earlier, according
to Gene Nelson, Oregon State
University Extension farm
management specialist.
Prices paid for production
inputs, including fertilizer,
chemicals, machinery,
energy, labor, credit and real
estate, went up 11 per cent in
1978. That compares to a 5 per
cent increase the year before.
While the overall increase
amounted to 11 per cent, the
prices of all inputs did not
increase at the same rate. In
fact, the prices of some inputs,
such as fertilizer and chem
icals, actually decreased.
In response to the overall
increase in prices, farmers
will make adjustments in their
buying practices and seek
ways to reduce their pur
chases of the higher priced
farm inputs, predicted Nelson.
By finding ways to substitute
for expensive inputs and
otherwise improving the ef
ficiency of farm operations,
farmers would be able to
reduce the impact of the price
inflation, he said.
The inflationary trend in
farm input prices is likely to
continue for the next three to
five years, Nelson wrote in the
"1979 Pacific Northwest Agri
cultural Situation and Out
look," a joint publication of
the Extension Services in
Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, which is available at
county Extension offices.
U.S. fertilizer prices were
down about 2 per cent in 1978
compared to the year before.
Prices for nitrogen, phosphate
and potash are expected to -remain
stable or experience
only modest increases in 1979.
Ample supplies should be
available assuming no logisti
cal problems or transporta
tion delays occur, the Outlook
noted. ,
Prices ... for,, i agricultural -w.
chemicals dropped by 5 per
cent in 1978, and no major
price increases are expected
for the year ahead. The
critical issue here is the
uncertainty of governement
regulations regarding the use
of specific materials, Nelson
noted.
Prices for tractors and
self-propelled machinery rose
11 per cent in 1978. Other
machinery prices went up 9
per cent and auto and truck
prices increased 5 per cent.
The outlook is for adequate
farm machinery availability
in the next year, but prices are
expected to increase another 6
to 12 per cent.
Energy remains a primary
problem. In the Pacific North
west, gasoline prices were up
7 per cent from 1977, and
diesel up 2 per cent. Electri
city cost per kilowatt hour for
farm and ranch use was up 6
per cent in Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho.
Wage rates for all hired
farm workers in the three
Northwest states were 12 per
cent higher in 1978 and are
expected to increase at about
the same rate during 1979. A
slow down in the national
economy could reduce the
number of urban job opportun
ities that draw workers away
from farm areas.
Interest rates for new farm
real estate loans and for short
term loans went up in 1978.
Government economic
policies aimed at reducing
inflation and restoring confi
dence in the dollar have
contributed to the rise in
interest rates and are likely to
continue to do so, it was noted.
Farm real estate values
slowed last year. U.S. farm
real estate values rose 9 per
cent for the year ending Feb.
1, 1978, which compares to a 17
per cent increase the year
before.
Even though the rate of
increase in land prices has
slowed, the publication sug
gests that any general down
turn in prices is very unlikely.
