String row tobacco layout helps curb erosion on five acres
El Collins, operator of the Never Wood farm at Seae, adopted the Soil Conservation Service string row system to lay off tobacco rows between terraces on five acres. The method ensures each row carries water to its end, reducing wet spots and erosion. Over the past two weeks SCS personnel aided fourteen farmers across forty acres in staking guidelines, including Thomas and Marvin Johnson, Poindexter, Emerson, Hunter, Harp, Hobart and Herman Simpson, Layne, and Clayton Smith in Dobson, Westfield, Marsh, and Rockford townships.
