<br />WHEREAS,
<br />
<br />WHEREAS,
<br />
<br />The Honorable James G. Martin, Governor of the State of North
<br />Carolina, has proclaimed April, 1991 as "North Carolina Poultry
<br />Month," and urges citizens to recognize the importance of our poultry
<br />food industry in our state; and
<br />North Carolina's poultry industry represents a major agricultural
<br />industry in our state, exceeding one billion dollars in cash receipts
<br />for farm families. The poultry industry employs thousands of our
<br />citizens and contributes significantly to the income of our farm
<br />workers. Nutritious food is supplied to North Carolina families and
<br />others around the world; and
<br />North Carolina is the most diversified poultry producing state in
<br />the nation, ranking first in turkey production, second in duckling
<br />production, fourth in commercial broiler production, and eighth in
<br />egg production; and
<br />Concord Farms, Inc., with headquarters in Cabarrus County, has
<br />economic impact in Cabarrus County and five other North Carolina
<br />counties by contracting with fifty farmers and employing some four
<br />hundred North Carolinians.
<br />
<br /> NOW, THEREFORE, I, Billy J. Simmons, Jr., Chairman of the Cabarrus County
<br />Board of Commissioners, do hereby proclaim the month of April, 1991 as POULTRY
<br />MONTH IN CABARRUS COUNTY to coincide with the celebration of North Carolina
<br />Poultry Month, and encourage all citizens to recognize the importance of the
<br />poultry food industry in Cabarrus County.
