Soil Conservation Plan Proves Very Profitable On Gholson Farm
The Gholson brothers Clyde Jeff Hop and nephew Billy Booth on State Highway seven miles north of Butler adopted a soil conservation plan starting in 1940. With terracing crop rotation and crotalaria this field increased corn to about 30 bushels per acre and cotton to almost a bale per acre by 1944. Crotalaria supplies nitrogen and organic matter greatly boosting soil health and yields. More practices will be covered in next week’s Herald.
