Valley Farms Manager
Suggests Standards Be
Set For This Group
"Farm managers should., be
licensed by the state," declared
Harold Vaughan, manager of
the Saline Valley Farms cooperative, Thursday in an address delivered at a meeting of
the Saline Rotary Club.
"This is a proposal I have
advocated for a number of
years, before different groups,
and I would like to see it become effective," he said. There
are hundreds of farm managers
operating in Michigan, Mr.
Vaughan continued, and with
varied qualifications. Many are
capable, ef course, but many
are just the reverse from that
and those who are not qualified
are the. cause of heavy losses
to Michigan agriculture.
Most everyone in the professions and trades are now
compelled to pass. qualifying
examinations and are then,
licensed by the state to do
business. It is not the intention
of a licensing act to disqualify
anyone from practicing a chosen
profession or business. It simply puts the stamp of the
state's approval on a person's
fitness through training or
natural ability to perform his
duties. It disqualifies the unqualified and protects the public
thereby, and in the instance of
farm managers, such an act,
Mr. Vaughan is convinced,
would add untold wealth to
Michigan agriculture.
