Conservation Highlights at Alphenia Plantation Drainage Upgrade
Land improvement on Alphenia Plantation along the Tensas River west of Waterproof has progressed over several years. Wayne Eskue K O Doty and Raymond Gray own the property with James P Barbie of the Soil Conservation Service providing background. Main drainage outlets were installed by Gravity Drainage District No 1 with the Louisiana Public Works, expanding open land to about 550 acres through coordinated canal outlets and soil conservation efforts. The drainage system is expected to raise farm efficiency by about 25 percent and boost crop production by relieving boggy areas. Agricultural Conservation Payments aided the project based on engineering from the Soil Conservation Service.
