(Writer’s note: Just as with the
nation’s economics, the new
policies of the Reagan Ad
ministration are shaping farm
programs for now and many years
to come. An<| just as the word
“Reaganomics” has been coined,
perhaps the new ag programs can
be called “Reagricnltore.”)
LANCASTER -
“Reagriculture” programs, in
which beginning farmers are being
paired with older experienced
farmers in a pilot project that
features no new costs to the federal
government, are under way in 10
Pennsylvania counties.
The 10 Pennsylvania counties
are among 81 counties across the
nation in which the pilot project is
being tried under the USDA, which
announced the program last Oc
tober as an effort to help part-time
and -beginning farmers become
full-time and successful.
A check with Farmers Home
Exciting new hybrids are coming out
of Funk’s Comprehensive Breeding
System. Seven new G-numbers will
be available for 1982 planting. These
new hybrids feature genetic diversity
to give you stronger protection against
the many problems that could occur
in your fields. You’ll appreciate their
stress tolerance, broad adaptability
and other risk-reducing advantages.

season varieties, we offer our strong

1981 was our biggest sales year

what happens when they put Funk’s

generally have taken place in

weeks.
Now that the committees are in
place, they are moving on to in
terviewing and selecting beginning
or part-time farmers and a cadre
of counselors and then pairing the
two as a feature of the program.
These knowledgeable active and
retired farmers and retired
management experts will then
counsel program participants in
annual and long-range plans for
their ag operations.
In a news release announcing the
program on Oct. 23, Secretary of
Agriculture John R. Block em
phasized that no new funds or
programs would be required for
the project.
