Business Practices Needed To Increase Farm Income l This is the final article in the series on the Outlook for Farm Income in our area. The series was prepared by N. G. State College extension specialists after a study of the effect of the announced cut in acreage allotment for tobacco. Today's article deals with "Good Business Practices" as needed jin today's farm "operations. The Times has presented this series of articles in the hope that they might be beneficial to Its readers. If Tar Heel farmers can main tain their gross Income in 1964, there Is a good chance they can i actually increase their net in come. This is theeonclusloii reac-hed by a group of extension special ists at North Carolina State after studying 1964 farm Income prospects. They had been asked to make the study by Dr. George Hyatt, director of the N. C. Agricul tural Ext ens ion Service, In wake Of the anxiety over the 10 per cent out In tobacco allotments. The specialists expressed confidence that *64 farm income could he maintained at the *63 level because of the opportuni ties that exist for Increasing income from many com modities. They also doubted If tobacco Income would drop 10 per cent. In order to get the maximum hel Income In '64, however, the specialists urged farm ers to consider a number of "good farm business practices and cost-cutting possibilities." Here are some examples; 1. Farmers can reduce In terest charges if they borrow money only for the time need ed. Many farmers, for ex ample, need money for har vesting tobacco. The' proper time to borrow such money is at the beginning of the harvest season, not earlier in the year. 2. Farm people should give attention to what may at first appear to be minor items. Pre ventative maintenance, for ex ample, can cut large repair bills. Good records can help locate new opportunities for efficiencies and point to profi table enterprises. Filing for gasoline tax refunds or using the Investment credit in federal in come taxes on new machinery purchases can add dollars to family income.

She 'as in charge of the County ac lvltles In the recent Moore fll 3. Farmers should try to understand government farm programs as thoroughly as pos sible. Use of such things as the lease-and-transfer tobacco program and the lease and re apportionment cotton program can directly affect Income. 4. Farmers should try to be flexible enough to cope with emergencies. Due to the short hay crop in 1963, for example, farmers feeding beef herds should use as much low priced roughage as possible during the winter. Grazing of small grain, where available, until early spring could also cut feed costs. As a final point, the specialist said some farmers should also consider off-farm employment. They cited a study which showed how a reduction in tobacco allot ments has affected off-farm employment in the past. From 1955 to 1957, when flue cured allotments were cut 29 per cent, off-farm income of farm families In the Northern Piedmont went up about 25 per cent. The change was not as noticeable in the Coastal Plain where fewer opportunities existed for off-farm work.
