Pioneer Billy Ray Granberry Leads Sweet Potato Growers
Billy Ray Granberry, 17, president of the Houston County 4H Council, emerges as a rural "pioneer" in sweet potato growing. From Webb Junior High roots to 1949 plant sales and hog and corn ventures, he built a multi-acre farm, won show money, and credits 4H for scientific farming. He plans a first trip to Birmingham for a 4H convention as a Chamber of Commerce guest.
