Wide row corn with peas in middles yields profit in Brazos area
A 4 H report notes Ernest Sample’s six foot corn rows with peas in middles brought $74.25 above production costs on one acre, while another acre yielded 65 bushels of corn but lower returns. The piece argues soil improvement and careful planning can boost poorer lands during cotton downturns. It also covers fruit tree spraying and living-at-home profitability for farmers, with Texas sending $38 million to the corn belt for hogs last year.
