Geese Mow Cotton Fields for Motley County Farmer
Singing hoe hands, unpaid and self supplied, cleared 345 acres of cotton for Billy Hand in Motley County. About 120 geese, bought by neighbor Charles Long in Las Cruces NM, worked nights and dawns, focusing on grass and Johnson grass, leaving cotton largely untouched.
