$2.8 Million Groin Export Facility
Adds To South Carolina Farm Income
Fourteen months ago. Do \
cember 1 !>('»I. a group of South 1
Carolina farmers met in C ·»
luinbia. No one realized at thut
time that out of this meeting
would «row an organization jf I
farmers which would be ship- '
pins; grain and fresh fruits to |
Europe, and adding more than
$2 million t»> the farmer's in
come in 196:5.
The group of farmers was
the board of direct rs of South
Carolina Farm Bureau. The
οι y.niz.'tni» they instituted
was the S. C. Farm Bureau
Marketing As ociation.
One <>f t*;e first projects of
t'»· newly ere ted farm··:· con
trolled Marketing Association
was the ope:' tion i f tin : t V
new S2 3 million grain export ι
facility at Charleston. The As- I
sociation was able to get the j
management contract after !
farmers th mughout the staU'
invested $150.000 at initial op- j
elating capital for the facility.
P: rmer investments in the fa- '
cilitv now have grown well
over $200.000.
A ship called at Charleston
ι ·■> !y in Feb. nary and wrote a
ii .ν ρ in South Carolina ι
-uicuitaral history and put
-Ii' !nmers in the export
business. It loaded some 300.
l.tiO bushcN of soybeans pro
<!;i< :i bv South Carolina farm
o . 11' !ehr.sod by South Caro
mers and sold for ex
P' it ! ι ν South Carolina farm
ers. This shipment also put 1
the Port of Charleston back in- c
to the {train export business— c
a business untouched in ovtr ι
100 years . t
The money farmers invested 1
is now working for them in t
two ways. First the investment c
is bringing in a five percent '<
interest, and secondly, by help- '
in?· operate a farmer-control- I
led buying station for grain, «.
farmers are receiving a sub- >
stantially higher price for their
crop. I
David H. Sloan, Jr., presi- j
dent of both South Carolina ·
Farm Bureau and S. C. Farm ,
Bureau Marketing Association,
said recently: "For the first ,
time in history, soybeans are i"
worth more at Charleston, sub- ,
terminal and country points, j
in South Carolina than in Chi- [,
cago, the world's largest grain ] ,
market, and prime points in
down-state Illinois."
The price paid to producers ,
for soybeans in South Caro- (
lina during the harvesting and ,
marketing season this year has J
reflected as much as 62 cents
per bushel over the govern
ment support price. Prior to ι
1962 farmers could expect to c
receive a price slightly above t
support levels during this per- j (
iod. Also, state farmers were j «
unable to take advantage of ι ν
the export market for soy- I
beans without paying a high | ι
transportation cost to the near- | I
est export facility—Norfolk, :
Virginia.
There may be several fact-1
ors which have contributed to
the price structure change for , J
soybeans in South Carolina. :
but to the largest majority of j
the producers who have re- j ji
ceived this increased inco-nc. I
the number one factor is the ί ι
"Farm Bureau Elevator" in I a
Charleston. ' \
On the state's crop of about j t
12.000.000 bushels of soybeans, | f
the total gain in farm income I t
will be approximately equal to i j
the total cost of the S2.8 mil- i
li<<n facility completed last £
year by the South Carolina j
State Ports Authority. The j
Ports Authority had construct
ed the 640.000 bushel elevator j
at Charleston under a man- r
date from the legislature "to ι
provide an export facility for \
soybeans and other small s
grains." ;
Sloan said the Ports Author
ity and the state legislature t
have performed a vital srevice j
to state agriculture in build
ing the facility. In addition to |
higher incomes, S. C. farmers \
can anticipate planting largt r j
trols are levied by the govern
ment. - t
Although much emphasis \ -
as been placed on South Car·
liiia produced grain, the fa
il ity can also act as a handler
in- mid-western grains to lx·
xported. Close behind th<
irst export of soybeans, an
ther ocean-going freighter
ailed at the terminal to load
000 tons of soybean meal,
'his meal was unloaded at the
acility from rail cars which
ame to Charleston from De
atur. Illinois.
This farmer-controlled Mar- j
.eting Association has not been
atisfied with increasing the j
ncomc of soybean producers.
Phe Association shipped a lord |
if fresh peaches to Europe in
962—marking another first in
>. C. agricultural circles. That
hipment was so successful,
he Association has been work
ng with the peach producers
>f the state in planning vol- j
line shipments in 1963.
The Marketing Association
s also investigating foreign
narkets for sweet potatoes. :
iccans. «rape juice and other
South Carolina produced com -
nudities.
Just fourteen months ago, no
ne on Farm Bureau's board
f directors ever dreamed that !
he Marketing Association
ould mean so much to the
tate's agricultural economy in
u little time.
