They can also put their various commodities in farmer-hel- d reserves and receive a payment of 26 cents a bushel for the first years storage. Commodities can stay in the reserves for three years, or until market prices reach the reserve trigger level, and producers can collect storage payments of 26 cents a bushel during the second and third years, too.

To many people, owning your own business is viewed as the epitome of success in the American free enterprise system. But being your own employer can be a highly complex investment and the Better Business Bureau suggests you know what is involved beforeyou risk your financial future on glowing promises of success by starting your own business. You actually have several options available: many have designs on an independent business related to skills they have. But because of the risks involved and the statistically low chance for success, others buy a franchise or a distributorship for help offered by the parent company. Franchises, like nearly any other type of business opportunity, are neither all good nor all bad. Success in franchising is largely a combination of two factors: the drive and ambit ion the franchisee brings to his or her new business and the care with which the franchise company is selected. Franchising is a common method of product or service distribition a means that a manufacturer or parent company uses to get its products to the consumer. It is a system in which the company shares, through contractural agreement, its economic power and the possibility for profits with independent businesspeople to achieve rapid and effective distribution. In some franchises only a trademark and method cf doing business is franchised. In others, a product or line of products is provided. It is vital that the would-b- e franchisee determine the type of business best suited to his or her needs, abilities and aspirations and then select the most appropriate franchise. Another option you have is some form of dealership or distributorship. Included are such things as vending machines, candy or other merchandise routes, manufacturing or assembling items under the provise of a k to the parent comguaranteed pany , or opening up your own dealership with the help of a larger distributor. There is very specific information you should know before you sign with any company. Ask for samples of the materials - sell-bac- the company provides including sales literature, brochures, etc. Also check the financial status of the franchiser. Are they in sound condition? There are also several precautions to be taken if you are considering this type of business. First, do some basic marketing research on your own. Evaluate the probability of being successful in light of consumer interest and competition. Second, ask for names of other people who have gone into the same business and contact them. Did they in fact get the assistance promised by the parent company? What problems have they encountered? Are they achieving success? Third, examine your present financial situation. Can you meet your needs independently of the new business venture during the early months when initial expenses will be high and sales income may below? Fouth, carefully review all provisions of the agreement. Is 100 percent of the initial investment covered by inventory? It is a good idea to have your legal counsel review it for you. Do you have a protected economic stress? If you would, and if youre a Utah farmer or agricultural producer, you should sign ' up for the Agricultural Departments acreage reduction program by April 16. Those who sign up will know what minimum prices will be in the fall, will have an easier time getting credit in the spring, and will enjoy a summer free of worry over uncertain grain prices or economic problems. Those advantages are only available, however, to those who sign up by the April 16 deadline. Judging from the furor over the currently proposed budget deficit and the competing demands for federal ffunds, Congress will not be able to award benefits later in the yar to those who dont sign up for the program now. County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation offices (a branch of the Department of Agriculture ) are handling the sign-ups. The Department of Agricultural has provided me with a number of other details about the program, and any interested Utah farmer can get that information by e Utah number, calling my toll-fre- I hope all Utah producers with eligible crops will take advantage of this opportunity to help themselves. When Congress approved the Agriculture and Food Act of 1981, great care was taken to provide some sort of safety net for producers. That safety net is in place.
