County Ag Agents Farm Notes on Soil Fertility and Livestock
County Agri Agent P. D. Gibson advises crop rotation with legumes like alfalfa and sweet clover plus a strong livestock program to rebuild soil fertility. Alfalfa yields three tons per acre returning 150 pounds of nitrogen worth about $80 per acre. Sweet clover adds rapid humus. market demand for these forages remains weak. A dairy market outlook is optimistic with city growth and farm consolidation pushing milk demand outward. Improve herds by removing scrubs and introducing purebreds. a few heifers can grow into a profitable, purebred herd and higher milk sales.
