Terracing Proves Its Worth Says Ellis County Farmer
To quote S. L. Baxter of Ellis County Texas terracing is the foundation of farming. He notes soil erosion reduced yields from one affected field to about four bushels per acre after terracing and cotton yields improved from one bale per five acres to more than one half bale per acre. Cost ranges from 2.50 to 5.00 dollars per acre with value gains from 15 to 25 dollars per acre. County Agent Loye supports the observations while noting effects become clearer after the first year.
