Turkey crop nets profit in Taylor Co
The Adrian Jones family on a 30 acre farm near Grafton, Taylor County, added strawberries and a turkey operation with help from the Farm Security Administration. After mine work ended in 1939, a shift toward homegrown income began, following farmer Kemper’s guidance and a West Virginia Strawberries for West Virginia Farms plan. They expect solid income from berries in 1941 and a modest turkey start with poults delivered in June to fit a new warm shelter and homegrown feed system.
