WE HAVE IN PAST years heard {
good deal about the agricultural lad
DER that young folks could ascend tc
farm ownership. The rungs of this lad
der were said to be:
1. Working as farm laborer and
saving enough money to buy the mini
mum required equipment for operating
a farm.
2. Renting farm.
8. Becoming a part owner by buying
some land and renting additional adj
| jacent land.
4. Becoming full owner. but with a
mortgage on the farm.
5. Becoming a debt-free owner of a
full-sized farm.
This ladder has in the past worked
fairly well, better through some periods
than others. Now, because of the much
higher capital requirements for the nee
essary equipment to operate a farm,
the ladder seems rather creaky.
The ladder has never functioned for
the stock ranch The second rung of
the ladder has always been missing.
For combination of reasons, stock
ranches are seldom for rent and seldom
rented. Where the young farmer may
be able to buy the equipment to operate
a cash-crop farm and lease such farm
on share rental, the young rancher
finds that seldom, if ever, will the own
ar IF of he A. e.
stocking it turn this much capital over
to renter on share crop basis.
Natural Factors
Then, it is seldom that one finds the

jacent lands to make practical OPP

Even if the natural features did not

that with a $50 stock cattle size of op-

ceptable financial progress with a so

OOO Needless to say, better and more
rapid financial progress would then be
possible.
High Capital Requirement
We figured the young rancher budgets
in this study on the basis of the owners
leasing the land, but that did not change
the picture appreciably. The rental
charge would amount to about the
same as the 6 per cent on the borrowed
money. One has to pay for the capital

This isn't any new information. Agri-
cultural economics studies have shown
this to be a fact. years ago. but it is
basic in any calculations concerning
starting the young folks out in stock
ranching. They will, as a rule have to
have good equity in an communicated
operation in order to have the debt
service capability needed to make the
required financial progress.
How, then can qualified young peo-
pie get into stock ranching, other than
by inheriting ranch or by inheriting
a considerable sum of money?
There are some possibilities for this.

Ranch Manager
Another kind of opportunity for the
young person to get started is to be
able to qualify for the management of
ranch owned by an absentee owner.
