Newberry Veterans In
On-Farm Training
Many Newberry veterans are
among the 6074 veterans parti
cipating in on-the-farm training
in South Carolina.
This program, administered by
the Veterans Adminitsration, is
designed primarily for veterans
who own or operate their own
farms. The veteran’s farm is
considered his laboratory, where
he puts into practice the know
ledge he obtains at a nearby
agricultural or vocational school.
His classroom instructor regul
arly visits the veteran at his
farm to check on his practical
farm work.
Most of the veterans in New
berry, and in South Carolina,
who participate in this program
either own or lease the farms
on which they work. One of the
requirements of the Veterans
Administration is that the vet
eran must have complete control
of the land on which he works.
The VA reported that in its
southeastern branch area, which
includes the states of South
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama.
Georgia and Florida, more than
43.000 veterans are engaged in
