Terraced farms boost yields near Veribest soil project
Tom Pate, new 200 acre land owner northeast of Veribest, argues terraces pay off by increasing crop yields. He cites 74 bushels oats on terraced land versus 50 on unterraced and 285 pounds cotton per acre versus 233 on unterraced. A Soil Conservation Service program near Veribest uses level terraces and contour ridges with grazing to improve rainfall absorption and future crop use.
