, The entrepreneural concept
By JOHN SLEDGE
N. C. Farm Bureau Federation
"Entrepreneur" is the "in"
word in many circles and simply
means those who assume the risk
and management of business.
It is a word often used in
speeches. Students seem to be
interested in pursuing its study in
I the classroom and it's becoming
a catchall word to portray our
increasing interest in economic
development.
It applies directly to
agriculture since farmers were
probably one of the first, if not
the originators of the
entrepreneural concept.
They have always been risk
takers and astute managers.
How else could about three
percent of the population
manage to feed the other 97
percent and still have surplusses
to help feed the rest of the world.
It's our biggest industry. As a
matter of fact, farm assets are
equal to about 70 percent of the
capital assets of all
manufacturing corporations in
the United States.
Approximately 3.4 million
work on the nation's farms and
ranches. This is as many people
as are employed in the combined
industries of transportation,
steel and automobiles.
Agriculture also requires the
services of 15 to 16 million people
to store, transport, process and
merchandise the output of farms.
Another three million people
provide the seeds, fertilizers and
other supplies farmers use for
production and family living.
A recent study shows that for
each $1 million farmers spend on
livestock, machinery, buildings
and other farming inputs, more
than 100 new jobs are created to
service their needs.
The efficiency of agriculture is
demonstrated by the fact that
one farm worker supplies enough
food and fiber for 76 people.
How's that for
"entrepreneuralmanship! "

SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency gives notice
of the proposed determinations of
base (100 year) flood elevations, in
accordance with Section no of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973 (Pub. L. 93 234). 87 Stat 980.
which added section 1363 to the
National Flood Insurance Act of
1968 (Title XIII of the Housing and
Urban Development Act of 1968
(Pub. L. 90 448)), 42 U.S.C 4001
4128. and44CFR Part 67.4 (a).
These elevations, together with
the flood plain management
measures required by section 60.3
of the program regulations, are the
minimum that are required. They
should not be construed to mean the
community must change any
existing ordinances that are more
stringent in their flood plain
management requirements. The
community may at any time enact
stricter requirements on its own, or
pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or Regional
entities. These proposed elevations
will also be used to calculate the
appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings
and their contents and for the
second layer of insurance on
existing buildings and their
contents.
Pursuant to the provisions of 5
USC 605(b), the Administrator, to
whom authority has been delegated
by the Director, Federal
Emergency Management Agency,
hereby certifies that the proposed
flood elevation determinations, if
promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small
entities. A flood elevation
determination under section 1363
forms the basis for new local
ordinanaces, which, if adopted by a
local community, will govern
future construction within the flood
plain area. The elevation
determinations, however, impose
no restriction unless and until the
local commuity voluntarily adopts
flood plain ordinances in accord
with these elevations. Even if
ordinances are adopted in
compliance with Federal
standards, the elevations prescribe
how hight to build in the flood plain
and do not proscribe development.
Thus, this action only forms the
basis for future local actions. It
imposes no new requiremnt, of
itself it has no economic impact.
Lessees and owners of real
property in the Unincorporated
Areas of Perquimans County,
North Carolina are encouraged to
