Managing Ranch or Farm
The Cost and Price Squeeze
And What We Can Do About Lit
By MONT III. SAUNDERSON

RECENTLY AS part of my work
I've been studying the production
cost information of a considerable
number of Montan farms and
ranches. My purpose in this has
been, first, to determine for these
farms and ranches their ''break-even
price point Tor their products. Then,
starting from there, I've studied
their possibilities for lowering their
break-even price points. They may
have to do that in order to attain a
margin of profit above their costs.
Many of them now face that stu
alton.
The results of my study of the
production costs and of the break
even prices for these Montana farms
and ranches tells quite story of the
changing times, past and present,
in our ranch and farm economics.
Several new items of costs now APP
pear in the accounts, compared with
those of 10 years ago. Much higher
rates are now paid for the same
cost items of 10 years ago. Total
production costs now stand at a
level two to four times those of a
decade ago.
AS a result of our prevailing pro-
duction cost situation and of the
recent trend of agricultural prices,
there are those Montana ranches
and farms that now have a ''break-
even price considerably above the
present market prices for their pro-
ducts. Then, there are those ranches
and farms whose production costs
are substantially below present
prices, and there are those with a
production cost somewhere near
equal to the present prices. The
significant thing, in this, is the wide
spread in the "break-even prices''
of these Montana ranches and farms.
and the reasons therefor.
What Is Break Even Price?
First, before proceed, let me
define the term "break-even price %
as l use it here. BY this term ]
mean the price that will cover the
out-of-pocket business costs of the
products of the farm or ranch. Any
price above this will return a net
business profit to the operator; any
price below it will result in a net
business loss to the owner and
operator of the ranch or farm. In
this analysis, have not considered
interest on borrowed money as {
production cost. I haven't done thi:
because of the great differences il
this item, between the individual
ranches and farms, and becaus,
such differences usually depend
upon chance, rather than manage
ment.
You may say that "'break-eve1
price" as have defined it really i
not "break-even price, becaus,
1t does not include a return to tn,
operator for his management an,
his investment. 1t is of course tru
that, in order to remain in business
the ranch and farm owner and oper
ator must earn pay for his time am
an interest return on his investment
However, "break-even prices" a
I've defined them keep one out q
the statistical round-robin of est
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-07-01

results of the analysis are clearer
when one starts with break-even
prices as I've defined them, and then
figures what kind of market prices
will be remunerative to, the eff
cient producer, the average good
producer and the marginal producer.
Wide Variation in Costs
Because of my limitations as to
space in this column I'm going to
use the cost information which I
have from a number of Montana
cattle ranches, rather than from
both ranches and farms, to tell the
story that l wish to tell. This is
the story of the variations in the
break-even prices of producers that
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-07-01

operate substantially similar pro-
ducing units, what these variations
mean, and how some producers can
change their break-even price for
their product
This Montana cattle ranch produe-
ton cost information gives the fol-
lowing picture:
Those of the ranches in the mid
die group in their costs-those be-
tween the very efficient and the
marginal-have break-even price
for feeder calves varying from IL
cents per pound up to II cents per
pound. With feeder calf prices at
20 cents, the better of these pro-
ducers can make nice profit. Those
in the upper cost brackets can make
some profit, but not a good one. by
recent standards. The costs included
in these figures are the ranch bust
ness costs. They do not include
the personal living expenditures of
the ranch operators and their famil-
les.
Now let's look at the extremes in
this cost picture. Among the high
cost operators there are those with
a break-even price of Is cents per
pound, and higher, for feeder calves.
At the other end of the scale, there
are some of the 1ow-cost and eff
cient producers with a break-even
price under 10 cents for calves, and
even as low as cents.
What does picture like this
mean? Especially, what does it
mean if we now face a competitive
shakedown in agriculture?
Need for Lowering Costs
Concerning the question of
whether we face such a shakedown
(and shakeout) in agriculture, your
crystal is as good as mine, but the
signs point that way. 1t now ap-
pears that for some time in the
