$200,000 Goal
Set For Feeder
Pig Program .
A new program designed to In
crease gross income on a substan
tial number of Orange County farms
to offset prospective losses in to- ..
bttcco and other commodities has ,
been devised b^the County Farm
Agents and is now being presented
to local farmers individually. and
at meetings.
The plan, to be called the "91.MW
Feeder Pig Program," has a goal of
$200,000 in additional income for
the first year .and according to the
farm leaders can be put into effect
v. th a very small investment and
financing can be arranged.
According to County Agent Ed
Barries.■ Orange County's agricul- '
lUral economy i* partihrilary stilted
to tlie production of feeder pigs
and the future demands appear to
be good:
. The feeder pig production plan
tor individual farms calls for total
capital outlay of only $330, which
would be expected to produce a
gross income of $1,008 the first year.
Expansion; of the program is seen
as easy and profitable as demand
develops.
Local market facilities for handl
ing l^trge quantities of feeder pigs
arc readily available and the de
mand for Orange County grown
feeders from Eastern North Caro
lina alone has encouraged the spon
sors of the plan. .
In a statement prepared for pub
lication in the regular weekly
County Agents' column. Assistant
Farm Agent Barnes explained the
plan thusly:
"To help overcome Hie toss m
farm income resulting from the
20 )>er cent cut in tobacco acre
age and tlie outlawing of certain
t-m:i yielding varieties, many tarm
.amities in Orange County are giv
ing serious consideration to the
production and sale of "meat type
feeder pigs.
"It is a well-known fact that
thrifty meat type feeder pigs
weighing- tilMW . pounds.-* are id ile
niaiKt Imth.by—local-- feeders and
i H’ders from Eastern North Caro

demand,for good t*U-8b pound feed
o- pits oi meal type will lie un
o' tially sfron • this fall Local mar
let facilities lor , handling large
cumbers of feeder bigs'are'readily
; \ arable.
"To take advantage of t^iis situa
tion local agriculture workers and
.vi stock leaders have come up
u th a suggested plan for developing
,.i feeder pig program on many of
he (amis in ‘Orange County. This%
plan is being called the "51,000 Feed
er Pig Program,.’’ It briefly sum
marizes- the necessary factors in
vo’ved in the production of one

prices. The plan is intended,,!*) be
Jtsod mainly' as a -guide to furnish
