-*CT? W< . ~ Fresh foods at last Gardens are coming up and bearing small buds that will soon turn into welcome summer vegetables. After a slow start, due to bad weather conditions, gardens are beginning to take on that " ready to produce" look that makes mouths water and stomachs growl in anticipation. . . .Farm Future Looks Bright (Continued from Page 1A) burning of grain straw that goes on in Hoke County. According to Warren, straw needs to be disked and not burned. Another method that Warren is in favor of is "no-till". This process is done by going in to the field after harvest and plant ing directly into the stubble. Featherstone said. "You plant directly into the residue without turning the soil," Featherstone said. Weed control is done through chemicals and not by disking. Featherstone added. According to Warren, this pro cess allows for more nutrients, moisture and holding capacity within the soil. Many Hoke County farmers are wary of this "no-till" process, Featherstone said. Tradition, cost and unsureness about the program have caused many local farmers to shy away, the county agent added. "Burning is a tradition and less costly than buying the new equip ment that might be needed with the no-ull process," he said. "It is also sort of risky to de pend totally on chemicals." Featherstone added. Although there are risks, Featherstone and Warren believe it is better for the soil than burning. "No-till will conserve the moisture in the soil and slow down erosion," Featherstone said. "There are no environmental laws or county ordinances against burning." Featherstone said. "All a farmer needs to do is get a burning permit and check with the forest ranger about weather conditions." he added.
