The Itu ral environmental Assis tance Program of the Agrlcul- Spring Time 4-H Project Springs the time when a youngster with a piece of land ami a desire to farm should consider the 4-H field crops project, says DonStan gel Extension 4-H agent. Sec la ligation l.s the future trend in agriculture, and the 4-H field crop project lsalni ed In th.it direction. Whether the land's avail able through actual owner ship, partnership, or per haps, through an agreement to manage, the 4-H field crops project can be a young person's oportuiilty"toca ltalie on bis effort," the agent said. Corn, potatoes, and seed crops can be raised as cash crops. Or If the 4-II'er produces forage for a horse or other livestock, "the money saved on feed is the same as money earned." Don notes that the 4-H field crops project is often over looked - "probably because young people think a big lay out of land is necessary." Actually, as little as an eighth of an acre will suf fice for many crops and the management of this small piece is often enough to instill an interest that will inspire the 4-H'er to become "tomorrow's successful grower of specialty crops mint, sugar beets, dill, seed crops." For more about this and other 4-H projects open to all young people without charge, call Morrow County Extension Service at 676-96-12.
