Farm Soil Improvement Project Draws Hempstead County Farmers
County Agent Frank Stanley announced a CCC camp project on Lewisville highway by the GS Soil Erosion Service after weeks of planning. On April 25 Hempstead farmers toured the Faulkner County design site near Conway Arkansas to learn erosion control and subsoil water strategies. A large earth dam aims to raise subsurface water across thousands of acres, with local farmers recording water levels to gauge long term impact. The effort highlights a shift to improving Hempstead land rather than seeking newer western areas, and notes subsoil water considerations for crops like cotton and corn.
