Max Gardner launched the Live-At-Home <br />5 Program "for its main purpose the encouraging of all of us <br />6 engaged in farming to grow for ourselves and to supply <br />7 ourselves with all the food and feed-stuffs and livestock <br />8 products necessary for family and farm consumption the year <br />9 round. It would also encourage us to grow enough surplus to <br />10 supply the small towns and the cities which are our logical <br />11 markets; and it would encourage the city folks of this state to <br />12 give a preference to the North Carolina farmer in their <br />13 purchase of the supplies which he grows."2 Today the <br />14 Goodness Grows in North Carolina .program promotes this <br />15 same concept of buying locally grown products. <br />16 In an effort to address increasing petroleum demands and <br />17 increasing oil prices, farmers and non-farmers should <br />18 reconsider their energy usage-building and vehicle needs <br />19 (cars and farm machinery).
