Service being offered without charge by the I.B.M. section of the Department of Agriculture Economics at Virginia Tech is growing in popularity every where in the state except Rappahannock. WHY? Probably because I have neglected talking and writing about it, however, JANUARY 1st IS A GOOD TIME TO START. As one would expect, the first step, which perhaps should be taken before the end of the month, is to make a complete inventory of your land, buildings, equipment, tools, livestock, crops, feed, seed and supplies. Personnel at your county agent’s office will ** help if necessary. All necessary forms are available upon request and without charge. At monthly intervals all participating farmers send their records of income and expenses to their county agent who mails the full lot of records to Blacksburg. ALL SUCH RECORDS ARE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Each farm is given an IBM number. As records are received the info is put into the machines. Quarterly summaries are made of each farmers business so he can tell just where he stands throughout the year. At the end of the year a final report is given and you have a complete accurate record and NO HEADACHES. Let, us know if 3 ou are interested.
