SYSTEM
CONSULTING
That’s just one of the reasons why
some European farming methods are
considered to be ahead of those in
the U.S. We in America have had, and
still have, the luxury of wide-open
spaces. There's lots of land, and even
though it’s expensive, "intensive
care" hasn't been as mandatory as
what it might be in more densely
pppulated developed countries.
Those are the facts.
Surrounding those facts are at
least one bright and one dark spot.
The dark side of it concerns Mr.
Yankee’s reluctance to face the facts.
For example, European farming
methods which have been proven to
be successful for years, are generally
not introduced into this country until
after a batallion of American
researchers have fine-combed every
last detail. Some of that is necessary,
but a lot of it boils down to just being
stubborn about admitting someone
else had a better idea. A lot of time
and money are wasted in the
meantime.
The bright side is knowing that
improved, more efficient technologies
are already here. We’re oftentimes
told that we must be more efficient,
but suggestions as to how aren’t
always offered as readily.
it’s refreshing to know that some
solutions to our present or future
problems are already figured out in
other parts of the world.

Forum planned
for farm women
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -
Farm and ranch women
from all across the country
will be meeting in Kansas
City, Mo., for the third
National Farm Women’s
Forum, December 7 to 9.
More than 2500 rural women
are expected to attend.
This estimated attendance
is t based" on previous
National Farm Women’s
Forums held in 1974 and 1975
in Milwaukee, Wis., which
drew a total of more than
3500 women from 30 states.
This year the Forum will
be held concurrently with a
new National Beef Congress,
sponsored by National
Livestock Producer. The two
conventions will be com
pletely separate, however -
the beef congress will be held
at one end of the Kansas City
Convention Center, and the
women’s forum at the other
end, with trade show exhibits
in between.
While the beef congress
will appeal mainly to beef
producers, the national farm
women’s forum is designed
for women in all types of
agriculture.
The forum program will
focus on the farm woman as
a “Partner in Agriculture”,
and seminars will deal with
topics ranging from
homemaking to farm
business and product
promotion.
Included will be sessions
on cooking (featuring new
small appliances and home
canning and preserving
aids), sewing for the
professional look, holiday
crafts, country decorating,
plus gardening and
houseplant care.
A special “Natural Fibers
and Hides Style Show” will
feature fashions of cotton,
wool, leather and pigsuede,
with garments provided and
modeled by the Delta Cotton
Wives (Mississippi), the
National Wool Growers
Auxiliary, the American
Lancaster Farming, Saturday. August 6.1977—39
National Cowßelles, and the
lowa Porkettes.
A review of farm women’s
successful projects to
promote agriculture and its
products will make up an
“Ag Boosters” program.
Various farm women will
speak and describe their
experiences of how they’ve,;
worked for agriculture
through farm organizations
and through unique in
dividual projects, in a
program called “Meet the
Challenge - Get Involved”.
Farm tax and estate
planning, - a session with
agricultural attorneys and
bankers, and a bookkeeping
seminar will also be part of
the program.
President and Mrs. Jimmy
Carter have been invited to
speak to a joint opening
session of the National Farm
Women’s Forum-National
Beef Congress and are
presently considering the
invitation.
A new, fun-filled forum
program, “Agri-Sports”,
will be featured the evening
of December 7, with fanners
and their wives competing in
