Farming Better Here Says Panhandle Wheat Farmer
John Streater, a wheat farmer southwest of Amarillo, says farming is much better in this Texas Panhandle area than in Kansas. He moved from Oklahoma to Kansas as a boy, later relocated due to dust storms, and has found success in Texas aided by irrigation plans and potential larger machinery. His son John Jr. is expected to return from the Army after graduating in agriculture at Texas A M University in 1941.
