Comeback Rancher Hardin Tobin Honored by District
Hardin Tobin, selected as the Upper Llanos Soil Conservation District Comeback Rancher in the Save the Soil Texas program, recalls buying his Edwards County ranch for 9 an acre in 1927 and notes it would cost 50 to 60 today. He credits deferred grazing, seedings, and a conservation plan with restoring range health and enabling 66 373 acres to be annexed to the district.
