Limestone Soil Plans Helped Taylor Brothers Farm

Limestone Soil Plans aided the Taylor Brothers 420 acre farm on US Highway 31 in diversifying crops from cotton and corn to include alfalfa pastures terraced fields and water disposal areas. Workers from the Soil Conservation Service and the Northeast Alabama district assisted from 1946 to 1949 expanding cropland grazing and soil conservation measures and increasing productivity.

Diversified farming boosts Tennessee dairy farm under cotton controls

By spring 1950 the farm shifted from cotton emphasis to diversification. Cotton acreage dropped to 112 in 1950 with sericea up to 66 total and corn rising to about 70. Crimson and button clover seed will be harvested and reseeding volunteers expected this fall. The Taylor family deserves praise for the successful program.
