8000 Acres Pine Lands Turn To Sheep And Truck
A Georgia farmer outlines plans to convert 8000 acres of land into a self sustaining dual operation. He fences 6000 acres for a 5000 to 7000 head sheep range, reclaiming 1100 acres from renters for winter pasture and corn. He will use wool and mutton income plus improved machinery to enrich the farm and educate his sons for future ownership.
