Concrete Plant To Open
Here By Mid-November
A new concrete manufacturing
plant is expected to open in
Raeford by the middle of Novem
ber, a company spokesman said
last week.
The company, Commercial Pro
ducts Inc., will employ six or seven
workers initially and will utilize
three 10-yard mixer trucks.
Commercial Products has been
in business for over 30 years with
five plants located from Monroe to
Laurinburg.
The Laurinburg plant has been
serving Hoke County and company

here to support the eight cubic yard
batch facility being constructed

Accent On Agriculture
Many people off the farm do not
realize that farmers are the con
sumers of their products.
For example, farmers buy more
tires than anyone else in industry.
It is not uncommon for farmers to
have several dozen tires in use on
their farms running in all sizes and
shapes with some of the large
combine tires costing as much as
$1,000 each.
Many billions of dollars are spent
each year by fanners in order to
have equipment, seed and chemi
cals needed to plant their crops.
In the fertilizer industry, ap
proximately 23 million tons are sold
to farmers each year.
Chemicals, used to control weeds
and to eliminate many insect pests
which would be detrimental to the
quality of farm products are also a
necessary expenditure for farmers.
These costs total about SI 16 mil
lion per year, making farmers a
large customer to the chemical
industry.
Farmers are also one of the
petroleum industry's largest cus
tomers.
The farmer is a big seed custo
mer. Most seed is raised by hybrid
seed producers in order to insure a^
uniform high quality product.
Some seeds are raised by farmers
themselves but, in general, they
purchase most of the seeds used.
So, the farmer is a large con
sumer. He understands how a
consumer should be treated. His
philosophy of treating others as he
would like to be treated is found
generally in his production ancL^
marketing practices. 0
Without markets, production is
unnecessary. Farmers know that no
one can embargo a customer
without that customer retaliating.
Much of the difficult times in
agriculture today were started when
the United States government im
posed embargoes on some of our
foreign customers.
0
Farmers hope to win back their
confidence as a reliable supplier
and win them as consumers again.
If this does not happen, the foreign
income will not be there for farmers
to spend as customers for many
needed farm services.
We should all understand that
the farmers' business success will
be shared by all.
