Soil Recovery Through Conservation On Beattie Community Farm
Tommie Moore recalls efforts beginning in 1923 to combat soil depletion on the Beattie community farm. Terrace building, terracing, and new crops led by the Soil Conservation Service improved yields from 1938 onward, with vetch and bluegrass feeding a growing operation. The farmer notes passing to retirement as the land remains heavily planted in vetch and plans to plant cotton on a 20 acre block.
