Rock phosphate boosts crops and soil care in Wichita County
Louis Sikes, a Wichita County farmer, advocates rock phosphate over super phosphate. He reports 63 pounds per bushel wheat the first year and 38 bushels per acre on treated land versus 10 average. A 120-acre barley and oats field stayed green before rain, attributed to three-year-old rock phosphate. He cites 80-acre barley yields of 84 bushels per acre and 135 bushels oats per acre from trials. He also notes five healthy alfalfa cuttings from 250 acres and a 600-pound-per-acre soil test in 1937 with dramatic results from treated plots. He promotes deferred grazing and Bermuda and Bluestem pastures as key practices.
