Non-farm businesses and industries use their economic power of controlling supply te werk within this framework to gain a return for manage: ment, skills and invested capital, Once the product is created, costs are de: termined and then it is marked with all of the promotion and selling resources available. Good business dictates that production be geared to potential sales at prices that will yield reasonable effort is made to reach o market tial. On the other hand, agriculture for the most part does not follow this pat tern, Farmers produce to capacity and hope to find a market for their products Production is not geared to demand, nor to our ability to sell at a profitable price level, Buch a procedure in the business world is recognized as economic suicide, yet the only major successful effort by farmers ta boost sales is the Dairy Farm. ers of Canada advertising program "And so, a basic problem before us is how to practice good business principles in the marketing of our produet, Can we develop a system that will permit pro- duction to a given market?
