thing akin to this every jrtu
with the siate'a largest general
farm organization ? the North
Carolina Farm Bureau. They
must, to keep it sturdy and up
to-date. This gigantic under
taking begins anew very shortly,
when Farm Bureau recon
structs Us two most basic com
ponents? membership and pol
icy.
The membership kai to be re
built because it's, not the "write
off" type. It's entirely volun
tary, and only lasts for one
year. Most memberships came
due about this time of year.
for many yean running now,
farmers have bee* constructing
an ever-improving Farm Bureau
membership when the rebuild?
ing process began. Last yew
there was an increase despite
a doubling of dues, and current
ly the membership stands at
07,971 farm families.
farm Bureau policies have
the same life span as do mem
berships ? one year. They must
be examined annually and al
tered, if necessary, to reflect
farmer opinions on the ever
changing complexion of issues
affecting agriculture.
The democratic policy mill
grkids slowly, but the end pro
duet is pure. The process be
gins at the grassroots, with lo
cal and county Farm Bureau
groups gathering around the
discussion table to hammer out
policies and recommendations
that truly reflect their thinking.
Many recommendations go to
the state organization, from
which they emerge in policy
form, and then to the national
level for the same procedure.
Mote that the foundation re
mains intact, though the super
structure is dismantled every
year and improved. That solid
underpinning is fashioned of
the same indestructible ele
ments which comprise the
American way ot life ? individ
ual freedom, property rights,
the private competitive enter
prise system, the right of cit
izens to petition their govern
ment.
Farmers cast afford to drive
one crooked nail tkh year, for
their structure will have to
withstand the pressures of con
tinuing urbanization, senate re
districting, plus many serious
commodity and marketing prob
lems.
