County Agent’s Column
By JOE C. JOHNSON, Fayette County Agricultural Agent
4
Several years ago the Exten-
sion Service became quite aware
of the need for more emphasis on
the management phase of farm-
ing and homemaking. This sim-
ply means the development of
skills in solving problems and
decision making to keep abreast
of the complex agricultural con-
ditions we are up against today.
The term “Farm and Home
Development” was selected to
designate this approach to bet-
ter farming and better living bv
giving some definite thought to
the management process. The ob-
jective of this approach is to
maximize farm income and satis-
factions in farm life. As far as the
farming phase is concerned, it
means the organization and ope-
ration of the farm resources for
the most profit over a long per-
iod of time. These resources are
land, labor, capital, and, of
course, management These four
rewturces, applied in the proper
combination and in consideration
of the total farm operations, pro-
vide for a miximum farm profit.
Participation in this farm unit
approach necessitates a minimum
amount of paper work. Some will
draw the line here. For others
who are interested in this pro-
gram, you would be expected to
keep a special farm record book
(available only at the County A-
gent’s Office), take inventory of
the farm once a year, make de-
finite (but flexible) plans, and
summarize your progress at the
end of the year. The County A-
gent and Home Demonstration A-
gent will give whatever assist-
ance is needed or requested.
Clearly, this work is set up for
progressive farmers. The present
farm and home resources or the
present income level is not im-
portant at all. This phase of Ex-
tension work is primarily for
those families that want to re-
main on the farm and make the
most of it.
May I suggest that those who
are interested call at this office
in December or January to ex-
amine this convenient farm re-
cord book and discuss the pro-
gram more completely. There is
no expense, no signature or con-
tract of any kind involved. Par-
ticipation is voluntary.
