Grain and Hay Farming Versus All-Cotton Folly
In Middle Georgia Frank McDaniel of Rockdale County cites a 1894 example with a negro family on 85 acres to compare grain and hay farming to cotton. He says 20 acres wheat yielded 155 bushels, peas and hay brought hundreds, corn produced 850 dollars, and four hands earned 970 dollars in labor, while cotton brought 675 for the cotton and 95 for seed. The tale underscores efficiency in diverse farming. The column notes frost, cotton nearing harvest, and local school and music updates.
