Terrace building and range improvements on farms
Richard Kunz near Luckenbach added a diversion terrace to drain 40 acres and a field terrace on cropland with rock riprap to prevent gullies. Milton Knaupp in Rheingold built four terraces totaling 3478 feet in parallel rows for easier cultivation. Dewey Chase near Eckert reports coastal bermuda growth and improved cover after spring planting in 1963. Heinrich Friedrich northwest of Fredericksburg increased rangeland carrying capacity by thinning dense oak stands and leaving brush tops to protect seedlings.
