:;iruc;a 40200 THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY , 3 Volume 31, No. 41 Perquimans To Join In rrOff Three counties of Northeastern North Carolina have been , singled out for a pilot educational effort of the N.C. Agricultural Extension Service. Dr. George Hyatt Jr., state extension director, said two specialists have been assigned to the three-county area to provide fanners and agribusinessmen with in-depth assistance on management and marketing problems. The counties involved are Perquimans, Pasquotank, and Chowan. Funds for the pilot effort, which will continue for at least a year, were provided by the Coastal Plain Regional Commission. Dr. Hyatt said the two specialists would work closely with and supplement the work now being done by regular county extension personnel. "This added expertise should enable us to go another step in serving agriculture of the region," Dr. Hyatt said. He added that the specialists would be able to provide educational assistance on such topics as farm planning, farm records, income tax management, farm mechaniza tion, farm finance, and hedging and other marketing tools. 1 When necessary, they will call upon extension specialists from N.C. State University for backup assistance. Heading the two-man specialist team is Charles Ham mond, a 12-year veteran of extension work. Working with him is Steve Riddick, who has three years of extension ex perience. Both men are graduates of N.C. State University. Ham mond's degree is in field crops; Riddick's is in animal science.
