Full title:Fred S. Doi, formerly of the Gila River Center and Fresno, California; and his brother-in-law, Thomas Nakanishi, formerly of Gila River and Fowler, California, are in charge of dairying and poultry on the 220-acre experimental Omar Farm, located 17 miles from Omaha, Nebraska. With the exception of the manager and several part-time helpers, Mr. Doi and Mr. Nakanishi operate the entire enterprise, and are enthusiastic. Neither one of us knew anything about dairy farming or poultry management until we came here a year and a half ago. On a farm like this you can't fail, Mr. Doi said. Tell the people at the centers that there are lots of good chances now for people who haven't any experience to make good on a dairy farm. We hope to own our own someday. I doubt if we'll ever go back to California. All we knew there was vineyards. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Omaha, Nebraska.
