Northumberland Farm Radio Forums The second series on vertical integration entitled "Who Writes The Contract" was discussed Jan. 12th. Answering the question "Have you any experience with Contract Production in your area?" the groups said they have had the following contracts--canning factory crops, broiler, pig and tobacco contracts, Plainville Forum spoke for the majority saying, "These contracts have had little effect on us as we have had little experience with them. Shiloh group had a different pproach. They said, tobacco growers had taken all the help and raised wages so high farmers in other endeavours couldn't .compete to get help. The canning factory crop has become so expensive and the season's uncertainty has made profits unsure. The contract of pigs has made a market for little pigs. The last question was, "How has it affected the man under contract?" Most forums said they hadn't had enough experience to comment. It was felt the contract has protected the farmer although in the tomato contracts the grading was too exacting. The hog contracts are too much in the hands of the feed producer and the farmer has no protection from his own organization. United Missionary Church W.M.S.
