j extension! scene { i BY ? jEverette DavisJ The Annual Awards and Recogni tion Banquet that is sponsored each year by the Robeson County Crop Promotion Association and the Robe son County Agricultural Extension Service will be held Thursday, February 1, in the O.P. Owens Auditorium. I would like to use this opportunity to extend an invitation to those who would like to attend to make plans to join us for this activity. However, I must caution you to call the Extension Office and make reservations since accomodations will be limited. For those who have attended this banquet in the past, you are aware that this activity provides an oppor tunity to gain a greater appreciation for what has happened in the vtfiqus fields of agriculture in Robeson County during the past year. In addition, it provides a greater appreciation for the strength of agriculture in one of the leading agricultural counties in the state. With the recent abundance of rainfall, including the snow and ice. we should be developing some very food soil moisture conditions for our upcoming crops. Unfortunately, this abundance of rainfall makes it very inconvenient for the producers to totally complete the harvest of their t previous crops and to do the field chores necessary for the nest crops. But most will agree, it is better to start with a wet spring than with a dry one. Let's just hope that we will not experience the summer heat and drought that we did three years ago. This is the time of year for decision making for most of our agricultural producers. The number of acres planted to each crop will be determined, various varieties will be considered and the appropriate ones selected for planting, and the use of both pesticides and plant nutrients will be determined. The most difficult thing for the producers to consider is what to expect from the price of the commodities they will produce. The outlook for prices for the coming year does not look much better than they were during the coming months. These opportunities will be in the form of grower meetings sponsored by Extension as well as private businesses, commo dity meetings, workshops, and just informal conversations with others involved in similar professions. For more information about local, area, and regional meetings on various subjects, please call the Robeson County Extension Office at 671-3276.
