Box 387 <br />745 Cabarrus Ave. - W <br />Concord, NC 28026-0387 <br /> <br />Dear Al, <br /> <br />This letter is to officially request placing the area extension <br />position of Farm Business Management System (FBMS) Extension <br />Assistant in your office space in cabarrus County. Based on <br />previous discussions, you indicated that this may be a <br />possibility. <br /> <br />The person currently in this position is Chris Robinson. He <br />(this FBMS position) works with cooperating farmers in a 10 <br />county area (which includes Cabarrus) p~oviding assistance with <br />farm business accounting and analysis, management decisions based <br />on these complete farm records, and with other business planning <br />needs_ He also assists other agents and non-member farmers with <br />management type decisions as his time and schedule permit. We <br />have found that these agents become extremely valuable to the <br />county staff in the county which they are located. I have no <br />reason to expect that Chris will not prove equally valuable to <br />you folks in Cabarru$ if this arrangement can be worked out. <br /> <br />This move is being ~equested to facilitate the growth and <br />development of the FBM$ program in your 10 county area. We feel <br />that your leadership ability and style, and the "coaching or <br />mentoring" that you could provide would be very advantageous to <br />the growth of the program. As I mentioned above, I also feel <br />that the "home" county does reap some benefits as well. <br /> <br />Your providing office space for Chris should not add any direct <br />cost to your budget. Our department covers all of his travel <br />expenses, cellular phone, long distance calling card, and other <br />miscellaneous expenses. Also, if Chris needs to use some of the <br />"county supplies," etc., should he run out and need them before <br />he can receive them from Raleigh, we will certainly reimburse you <br />for such expenses. If there is any costs associated with his <br />moving in (should that be possible), please let me know and we <br />will be sure to take care of them. <br /> <br />,.-pl. oym~ and InUgram oppammu~s a~ o~d to all t:~ut~ r~gaulle~s or race. col~x, aaUonal ofi~,. ,~.. ag~ or handi~o. <br />Nora Ca'olim Rate Univo-sity.
