Notes From Farm Bureau Quality of the environ - ment is not a new problem to Tar Heel farmers, but one they have been concerned about for many years. After all, no one knows better than ! a farmer the importance of maintaining a balance with nature. Certainly, farmers mist recognize the responsible role they have, and do their part in protecting the envir onment; however, farmers also need machines and tools, fuel and heat, and refuse dis posals, They also need chem icals in their production of America's food supply. The use of chemicals has helped a decreasing number of farmers supply an increas ing number of people with an abundant supply of high quality food —the finest the world has ever known. Modem agriculture simply cannot continue to produce adequate amounts of food and fiber without chemicals. If we were seriously to cur tail their use on farms and in the food industry,we would experience a decline in the quantity and overall quality of our food supply. Consum ers would also quickly ex perience a rapid rise in food prices. Until suitable substitutes are found, it would seem rea sonable that continued em - phasis on their proper use.
