Beans and the Hoe Market Note on Free Trade
In early July the farmer sells lima beans at 50 cents a quart and could buy a rake or hoe for two quarts. Prices in July could not exceed 16 cents per quart in September if Free Trade governed prices, depressing business and curtailing incomes and wages. The farmer has many beans to sell but rarely buys a rake or hoe under Free Trade.
Rake or Hoe Costs vs Lima Bean Losses Per Year
The note argues Jacob Nilson would cheapen the rake and hoe but reduce farmers’ profits on lima beans. It suggests a farmer would prefer paying a dollar for a rake or hoe than losing beans to pests in July or September, or letting them rot on vines.
