EDWARDS Executive Vice-President NC Farm Bureau IMS wu aa eventful year (or farmer! throughout the country and 1989 promises to bring more of the same. Here in North Carolina we faced several crises, some of which are still with us even though we aren't hearing a lot about at this time. Our tobacco growers ran henHm in 1951 into problems at quality and marketing that they are still trying to solve In a Way to retain their price support and quota tiro gram, and at the same time itetaln and even expand their sales. Cotton growers swapped ideas and suggestions designed U in crease the production of quality cotton and to Increase their share of the world cotton market. Peanut growers continued work on a program which many of tkem think will help put their commod ity on a sounder basis and Dave added refinements to a promotion al program paid for through a grower assessment. Poultry producers have .seen their industry expand along with producers a I red meat. This live stock and poultry expansion has brought changes In the seed gtatar picture here in the state and we are fast becoming a grain-livestock producing area. Dairymen have seen little change in their segment of the agricul tural industry here, although hey are still in many areas making attempts to gain more bargaining power with distributors Over all, we had a wonderful growing season for our 1M* crops, and we increased our gross income to near record levels. Net income though is another matter far farm ing coats are increasing, making it more difficult to maintain profit margins. Firm Bareaa members, tkelf I tod, opposed efforts to freeze price supports and marke'Jng quo tas on baiic cropa. By opposing ?uch itapa Farm Bureau members opposed putting a root as well at a floor on farm era' opportunity. I lock a frtoc could kan easily re sulted la a minimum acre ap proach to an boafc commodities. A "compreheiiabe" (arm bill drafted by the House Agriculture Committee, encompassing many fa?tarea opposed by Farm Bureau, did not thread the needle of the Senate where a Senatorial farm bill designed to looaen control a yet maintain price sapports of a dif ferent nature Wa? more successful, but it Us* took its share at barba, winding up with many changes. The pMaeat llWliMidlW ture Benson campaigning for lower suaports and removal dT iuoU too trola, backed by President Eiaen but as always we faced compro-' mises that had to be made. Moat farmer* in North Carolina were pleated that the parity for mula was kept intact, with some exceptions. No doubt we owe this to the Congressional leadership of the House of Representatives and in no small part to our own Rep. Harold Cooley, chairman of the Houao Agriculture Committee. We face a General Assembly ses sion in North Carolina within the next few week* that CM! have tre mendous impact oA our stata's agriculture. New taxes must be collected to finance the goods and services demanded by the citixens of our state. Water legislation Is being devel oped to provide control over our water resources. These two problems alone are enough to keep any organization busy on the state level, bat there are other important questions which must be answered by farm ers in the coming year. The two poles of farm policy philosophy will be working for adoption of their programs in the 199* session of congress, and al though indications are that few changes will be made in the farm program, the changes that are made could be the Indicators of the future of our agricultural pol ley. | Almost everyone is agreed that the major firm problem Is one of Income? that the farm population la not receiving the Income that it should. But, there are many dif ferent ideas of how to solve this problem. There are theee who wish to eliminate government from the price support acreage control func tion, and there are those who would virtually socialise the indus try. Surely there is tome mid-pound that farmers must seek in order to retain the pnfram under a fairly administered support set-up and atiH not relinquish their farms to complete fwreramaqt authority. Whatever the ftaal outcome, I hop* that it will reflect what (arm era really believe is good for their induatry as a whole. To that aad Farm Bureau will continue to wark for creator membership to insure more farmers an oportunity to make their ideas lelt. I . In ii i .
