several months on the subject of vertical integra tion farm people seem to have had only enough information to whet their interest during the three weeks in which farm forum look ed at vertical integration the most frequent single query was where can we get more informs lion perhaps it is significant that of over 500 forums reporting only about one third havq members who personally have contracted a part of their farm production the other two thirds of the forums want to know what contracts are available however and some of them admit that they would tike to enter a contract as soon as possible farm forum people have accep ted the idea that vertical integra tion is here to stay early in the series the question was asked what do you fear from vertical integration the most common

have a responsibility to their membership to act as lead ers in farm marketing and process ing their duty is t develop trends advantageous to farmers rather than follow willy nilly a pattern designed for the benefit of middlemen and others marketing boards and tlieir functions are not too familiar to some forum members but they are regarded as one of the first steps necessary in the organiza tion of effective arm action a forum comment that was repeated several times was the groups agreed that c molt 5tarfwmfettnr tjtfarts with the coops forming the back bom of the organization contracts while only about one third of the forum members had actual ex penence with contracts nearly all of them knew someone who had comments and reaction to con tracts and terms involved were as varied as the

children we must band together to preserve freedom of enterprise and our wav of lift and of the familv farm for the future th community the most often repeated com ment about vortical integration is hat it will result in the destruc tion of the commumt unless some new industries arc brought in to produce employment we have alrcadv seen what hap pens when a large operator hus up j loaofland and puts hircd hands on it neither he riortiis man ire the least bit interested in the communit another forum put it this wav most farmers oppose vertical integration because of the fact that the small landowners the fa mily tvpc farmers will be forced out of business they will lose their sidelines livestock and ppitf try and may not have sufficient capital to support their wivesand families this will eventually force these farmers to leave and search elsewhere for a living thb in turn will have a serious effect on our social life community life may vanish in some places and will weaken in others our whole na tion may change a slightly different note was introduced by this group loss of control of product land and stock or disappearance of the commun ity are not necessarily a conse quence of integration it the far- mer is prepared to organise- him self and take charge of his own holding with better personal org anization there is evor reason to believe that substantial benefits to himself and his industry would result security many of the arguments advan ced in favour of contracts have iked security of income as a ma jor point most of the forums felt that this securit did not exist the product of contract farm ing might lose its appeal to the consumer since some say that masa production of broilers has produced a tasteless meat and that hogs if pushed too hard might do the same a few years ago farmers in this district fed turkes on contract iut got left with the birds when th clnfacloi would not take th ini h a biris t a e 3 n3 to tr to sta i u ti ui ndip ii n h i n

contrats if a farmer goes in for large scale production of broilers turk es or eggs and rinds after a year or two that the contractor no ion ger wants his product he is left with a lot of equipment and large buildings that are of no use to him j some of thim told such stories as this tht man undtr contract was all ruin as ion as the contract lasted but as soon as the proces sor had loo uige an
