A Crop to Cultivate

America IS famous for good crops. But finest of all
Is the bumper crop of IL, 000, 600 boys and girls
growing up on our farms and ranches.
Trained teachers and leaders are helping culti-
vate this bumper crop. Vocational agricultural
teachers in over 1000 high schools do their part.
Most of these schools have Future Farmers of
America chapters. Membership of F.. F. A. Is
$4,000. In their outside classroom work they
receive additional on-the-job training from their
vocational agricultural teachers. They learn to
accept leadership responsibility. On graduation,
many go directly into farm or ranch management.
Others go on to agricultural college.
County agents and over 180, 900 unselfsh volun-
teer leaders do another great job through the All
Clubs. Through So, 900 local All Clubs, more than
1,750,O00 boys and girls get invaluable training.
Advice, encouragement, know-how from practical
experts. Their projects keep them abreast of what
is new in agriculture. They learn through doing.
Achievement and leadership become habits.
1t is well that American agriculture has these
leaders and teachers. By teaching the business and
science of farming, they are helping make life on
farm and ranch rich and profitable for a new gener-
alton of Americans. They are showing them the
way to economic security and a good way of life.
Better farm planning; power machinery; scientific
modern methods; control of weeds and plant and
animal pests All these our farm and ranch youth
are learning. In many ways they are qualifying
themselves to be better managers of land and better
businessmen. They are increasing their knowledg
of science and selling-of machinery and markets
of costs and conservation.
Swift & Company has always been proud to en-
courage farm youth activities. We shall continue to
do so. We have no doubt or fear for the future of
America. For, properly cultivated, this crop will
ripen surely into our nations richest harvest.

Livestock is marketed when it is ready. The supply
of animals coming to market at any one time is con-
trolled by your decisions as producers. These de-
cisions may have been made months previously,
depending on your breeding and feeding program.
The weather-blizzards storms and droughts-also
have a bearing on when you market your animals.
Meat packers have no control over the supply
of livestock.
The meat packer must sell meat and by-products
for yhat they 1DU bring. When people have to econo-
mize, they spend less money for meat. Consumers,
retailers and meat packers reduce their bids. The
prices of both meat and livestock fall accordingly.
But when people make more money, they are eager
to buy meat. Then buyers all along the line increase
their bids. And the prices of both meat and live
stock rise accordingly. For each meat packer and
each retail meat dealer knows that if he does not
pay a little higher for the livestock or meat he
wants, somebody else willard get the business.
Thus the old law of supply and demand-plus
competition In buying livestock and selling meat
forces price changes In meat to be reflected quickly
all the way back to the livestock on the hoof. AT
all times the market price is a balance between the
supply of livestock and the demand for meat

to the range country of the West through
the Corn Belt states :. the wheatlands =.
the cotton country-Florida, Maine, Wash
ington, California and all the other states Ia
between.
I do not know how anyone who travels
much can help being impressed with the need
for team play In America. AS farmers or
ranchers, your prosperity depends to a large
degree on the ability of workers IN industry
to purchase the food and fiber you produce.
Likewise, city businessmen know that your
power to purchase their products is equally
important to them. And all of us depend on
the men In the mines, in the forests, In the
steel mills, and oil fields.
But what we are apt to overlook is the fact
that it is the earning of a reasonable profit
which keeps all these businesses going, and all
of us at work. Of course, profit rates vary.
That depends on many things, including vol
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-09-01

ume of business done. For example, here at
Swift & Company we process millions of
pounds of agricultural raw materials each
year. On each pound handled, we earn an
average profit of a fraction of a cent. Few
could stay In business on the margin we meat
packers earn. But whether ones business
uolune is large or small, some profit is essen
tial to any individual or any enterprise.
And here's another thing. Often l hear
someone say-"Those farmers are the lucky
ones-completely independent" / can't
agree with them. 1 know, and you know,
that you on the land are independent-but
only to a certain degreel OF course, cities
couldn't exist without the products of farm
and ranch. Maybe you could produce your
own food, clothing, shelter and fuel. But
country living would be pretty grim without
cars, telephones, radios, fences, tractors, wind
mills and modern labor-saving, comfort-giv-
ing equipment. 1t is a tDo-Ody road! Our
standard of living In America is something
we are all proud of. 1t is the result of the profit
system and of good team play.
