Gounty Agent Paul
Gibson Rotary Club
Speaker Wednesday
"Know The.Farmer Better" was
the topic of a talk by Clare County Agricultural Agent, Paul Gibson
before the Rotary Club in their
regular Wednesday noon lunch-
meeting.
Mr. Gibson quoted* latest census
figures and showed land use mapp
to demonstrate that'land management is becoming bigger business
in Clare county, as elsewhere.
The size of the average farm is
increasing with the spread of mechanized operations, and the total number of farms under operation is decreasing, the speaker said.
Several Clare county farm operators are cooperating with a Michigan State College project to cross
sample detailed farm expense and
income records. This furnishes
fairly accurate records of the fanners business expense and profit,
and along with other' data, provides a means of obtaining a
statewide average of the information wanted.
We learn more all the time
about fitting the land use to the
soil capabilities* Mr. Gibson told
the Rotarians,
