Where Farming Has a Future
A few year* ago. we asked
Pat Treadawuy a( (he Lumberion
Chamber of Commerce what prospects
Robeson County had for industrial
growth.
"Wonderful," lie said. "We al¬
ready have the biggest, most
experienced, fastest - prospering
industry in North Carolina— agri¬
culture."
Many people agree with Pat that a
lot of Noeth Carolina’» future lie* in
agriculture. Certainly, the balance of
farming and manufacturing create»
a desirable social and economic sta¬
bility.
Despite the fact that the farm popu¬
lation is declining steadily, we still have
more people ( 1 .376.764 ) living on
farms than has any other slate
WC rank wood in number of farms,
topped only by oversized Texas
In income from crop* we rank
fourth; in gross farm income (about
SI billion» 1'ih; in livestock receipt*.

We have the largest and most
complete county farm agent pro¬
gram and farm extension service
in America We base more 4-H

prosperity.
