Collapse ▲The Forsyth County Nickels for Know-How Referendum will be held on Thursday, November 17, 2022 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Kimberly Gresley, County Extension Director said one polling place has been established in Forsyth County. The polling location is as follows:
N.C. Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center
1450 Fairchild Rd
Winston-Salem, NC 27105
Kimberly Gressley explained that the referendum is being held to let users and producers of feed or fertilizer decide if they wish to continue the self-assessment program. This program has been in place since 1948, and the law requires that a new referendum be held every six years. A 2/3 favorable vote will mean that growers are willing to continue to assess themselves to support agricultural research and education. The assessment is fifteen cents per ton on feed and fertilizer produced in North Carolina.
“Homeowners, gardeners, small farmers…anyone that uses fertilizer or livestock feed, are encouraged to come out and vote.”
The funds, about $1.4 million annually, are collected by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and then allocated by the NC Carolina Agricultural Foundation, Inc.’s 148 volunteer Board of Directors to support agricultural research and extension projects at North Carolina State University benefitting agriculture in North Carolina.
For more information on the referendum, please call your N.C. Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center at 336-703-2850.
