FARM INPUT COST COMPARISONS NOW AVAILABLE

Released on May 16, 2000

Saskatchewan producers now have access to current information on available

prices for crop production inputs. Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food (SAF) is

issuing a monthly survey report on crop production input costs, to allow

producers to compare prices for selected products.



The monthly Farm Input Price Survey report and regional price information are

available on SAF's website at: www.agr.gov.sk.ca/fips or from Rural Service

Centres.



"Farm inputs are a major expense for producers," Deputy Premier and Agriculture

and Food Minister Dwain Lingenfelter said. "Last year Saskatchewan producers

spent over $4 billion on crop inputs and other production expenses. Producers

need better price information to make management decisions related to farm

input purchases. The Farm Input Price Survey report will provide better price

information for farmers."



The survey differs from past surveys by monitoring actual prices that producers

are paying for farm inputs rather than list prices. The report will more

closely reflect market activity. Price variations in the report may reflect

factors such as volume (bulk) purchases, payment terms, transportation costs or

season.



Producers will be able to access data on as many as 179 products by crop

district and region.



The farm input price information is collected monthly from a network of over

200 farmers located throughout the province. This initiative is the result of

a partnership among Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food, Agriculture and Agri-

Food Canada and the Provincial Council of Agriculture Development and

Diversification Boards for Saskatchewan.
