Soil and water conservation plans outlined by locals
Tentative conservation plans were prepared with input from Herbert Fiedler and Mill on Meier of the Cherry Mountain group and Aax Sultemeier of the Wrede group. Technicians from Gillespie SCD assisted as plans aim to guide farmers like a blueprint and adapt to changing conditions. Reginald Morris reports 125 acres planted in legumes, with success pending rain. The Range Management Contest will be June 15 at the Annual Range Field Day, hosted by the Hill Country Association of SCDs, with grasses and forbs identified for plant selection. Cecil Loudon builds about 2 miles of terrace channels to curb erosion on 10 acres, and Hubam clover will be green-manured on 15 acres by Albert Dittmar and son.
