Farmers To Vote On
Nickels For Know-How
A North Carolina farm pro
gram that has caught the imag
ination of agricultural lead
ers nation wide is having a
birthday Nov. 22.
The unique Nickels for
Know - How program that
allows farmers to give di
rect support to agricultural
research and education at
North Carolina State Uni
versity was launched 15 years
ago.
On Nov. 22, farm families
will vote for the sixth time
since 1951 to decide if they
will continue to support
Nickels for Know-How through
an assessment of five cents
for each ton of feed and ferti
lizer purchased.
Although the average farm
er has contributed only about
30 cents a year through the
program, total Nickels funds
collected during the 15-year
period totals over $2 million.
This money has been used
to supplement appropriated
funds and to add a degree of
flexibility to the North Caro
lina State University agricul
tural research, education and
extension programs that
otherwise would not have been
possible.
The farmer ? the man who
"pays the bill" ? has bene
fited from these supplemen
tary funds through new know
ledge and research Informa
tion.
The overwhelmingly favor
able vote the Nickels program
receives when it Is voted on
every third year has been
Interpreted as an example of
the North Carolina farmer's
willingness to "pay his own
way."
In the most recent refer
endum in 1963, the program
received a favorable vote of
90 per cent of those voting.
Some 57,000 farm people cast
ballots in that vote.
