No Change Seen For 1969 Quota

As the marketings of the 1958 budey crop draw to a close, forecasts for the 1969 crop are already being made.^ Of most immediate interest i s the production quota for 1969. This must b e an-nounced by the Secretary of Agriculture, and the bes t guesses are that there will be no substantial changes in allotments for this pro-duction year. This announce-ment must be made by Feb-ruary 1.

The support price for the 1969 burley crop must also b e determined by the Secre-tary on or before April 1. Agriculture Commissioner Robert Miller joins other burley leaders in predicting a support pr ice increase of perheps two cents over the 1968 budey price floor of 63.5 cents per pound.

Miller pointed out that the support price i s established

by the Secretary in the light of die growers' production cost index. He went on to note that production costs for tobacco were responsive to inflation a s were most all commodities. T h e s e costs that i n d u d e such things as labor, fertilizer, equipment and capital equity all increased during 1968. As a consequence, a support price increase for 1969 i s

. inevitable. A 65.5 cents per pound support price uould b e a good guess, Miller thinks.

Bill Staton, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Budey Association,observed that if the 90% of parity fonnula was still in force, the support price of budey would be 83cents per pound. He said that parity for budey i s 92.2 cents per pound. The parity fonnula was abandoned in 1958, however, in favor

of the production cost index. A bas ic definition of parity i s the equivalentpurchasing power between burley a id non-agricultural prices at a specified past time.

Miller said that h i s staff had made a study of the W ationship' between the e s t $ l i s h e d pr ice support (W budey « l d the seasonal average price paid for the pas t five crops. In each of the five years. Miller said, the price paid exceeded support by 2 ' M to 16%.
