Smith Farm At Hulaco Improves Local Soil Program
Ewell C. Smith of Hulaco led a community soil conservation effort starting in 1943 with a 60 acre farm. He bought a tractor and a combine, terraced fields, grew crimson clover and lespedeza, and harvested seed for neighbors. The program expanded to hundreds of terraces and shared equipment, boosting yields and profits while serving Morgan County farmers.
