MEMO TO COMMISSIONERS:

FROM:
Amy-Lynn Albertson
DATE:

SUBJECT:
Cooperative Extension/ Robertson Foundation Grants
Rowan County Cooperative Extension applied for two grants with the Blanch and Julian Robertson Family Foundation Grant.  One for $6000.00 to purchase the equipment and a trailer for mobile poultry processing.  Currently there is no where in NC where small growers can take their birds to be processed.  Birds are being processed on farm under the NCDA exemption.  Many farms do not own the equipment necessary for  processing  poultry as it is something they may do only once or twice a year.  Cooperative Extension plans to rent the mobile processing unit out to area growers to provide a much needed resource in our area. The 4H program and FCS program received a $2200 grant to purchase sewing machines, repair existing sewing machines and purchase sewing supplies for our youth summer sewing program.  Cooperative Extension would like to ask the county commissioners permission to accept the grants as awarded.
