2 <br />farmers on it. I see you don't have any. A part -time farmer doesnikt <br />know how hard it is to make a full -time living out of it. <br />23. "I think there is a definite need for something such as this" <br />24. "We think it would be of real value for the area." <br />25. "Good work" <br />26. "Note: I am not an Orange Co. resident but I would like to see <br />such a facility anyway" <br />27. "We would like to see a new multi- purpose facility built in <br />Northern Orange County, a public - private facility under new <br />management. <br />28. "Sounds good" <br />29. "I would like very much to see a livestock market in Orange <br />County because transporting livestock to other locations would provide <br />a hardship. <br />30. "If possible to locate on road accessible to South Orange <br />population and include "Farmer's Market" type service, very good idea <br />as explained in letter above." <br />31. "Facility of this type is needed and could be an asset to the <br />people of Orange." <br />32. "An antique farm equipment and cooking implements exhibit would <br />be nice. A botanical garden /arboretum for youth, elderly, handicapped <br />to work in and enjoy." <br />l <br />33. "I hope that this dream will come true." <br />34. "This is an excellent idea. This sort of facility would be a <br />resource for the entire community for education, ',local marketing of <br />livestock and produce (which should be good for farmers and consumers) <br />a would eve permit attractions of and w d n special interest to be held <br />(garden- shows, etc.) which might attract visitors from surrounding <br />cities, from Greensboro to Raleigh! Agricultural, Business, <br />Government and Consumer interests - should all support this- effort." <br />35. - "I feel that it is important -for the economy of Orange. It would <br />also be very convenient to me as a breeder. I feel that with proper <br />" <br />planning, it could be useful for many purposes and functions as well <br />C <br />as a livestock-sales arena." <br />t <br />36., "I think the main concern of most farmers in this area is to keep <br />E <br />a livestock market in this area. For us, at least, going to Siler <br />City will be very time•consuming when there are many other things to <br />be done. The multi - purpose aspect is attractive but with the new show <br />barn at Orange Grove, do we need a new show facility in Hillsborough? <br />It sounds great but very expensive. <br />37. "Yes I would like to see a sound working live stock market which <br />would' serve the people especially around this area, and especially <br />people who are not able to go to far distance markets. I also like to <br />see a wing where people could bring their farm products (a booth) and <br />sell it. Thank you all in advance.: <br />38. "If we- are going to maintain the rural atmosphere of Orange <br />County; we must not let the livestock facility.disappear. It is just <br />as important as many of the historical buildings in our county." <br />39. "Might buy bonds or stock. Believe corporation board should <br />include at least one "at- large" representative to represent so- called <br />consumers." <br />40. "As an organization with strong beliefs in the future of <br />agriculture, the Orange F.F.A. Alumni would like to show our support <br />in favor of having an agriculture market in Hillsborough. We feel it <br />would be beneficial to orange County as well as neighboring counties." <br />41. "Most of the above committee members are strangers to me - -(a beef <br />farmer). We need an agriculture facility that works with and for our <br />producers - to further these products - not to take advantage of and <br />
