Diversified farming plan urged for Pontotoc county farms
A 1920s proposal by F A Norris outlines livestock partnership and lease to help farmers start with 160 to 240 acres, ten dairy cows, five brood sows, and shared ownership of stock. The plan emphasizes landowner tenant cooperation, shared capital at 6 percent, alfalfa and peanut pastures, cotton as surplus, and equitable profit division under a formal lease.
