They produce about 900 pounds daily, feed hay silage year round, and plan to move to grade A this fall with Dairy Herd Improvement records guiding decisions.

Cotton Deals Are Checked
On April 7, 1961, the Alabama Legislative Cotton Study Committee met at Center to consider offers to Alabama farmers for cotton allotments by Billie Sol Estes of Texas. Thirty four farmers attended as Jim Jones defended keeping allotments in Alabama, while the committee voted to pursue legal action in Cherokee County to block the Estes transfers. Senator McClellan called Estes cotton transactions absolutely invalid and highly profitable, noting the inquiry would be a focus of upcoming Senate hearings.
