PINKSTON County AgentMany farmers rememder the “old corn road'* out Battleground way which used to be traveled by Cullman County farmers journeying to the valley to buy cornIn those days it took a lot of acres to produce enough corn for bread, feed two mules, some for the hog and a little for the chickens. Some talk about twelve acres to produce 120 bushels, others talk about less bushels per acre.Those who participated in these trips to “the valley have. I am sure, been pleased to observe progress made over the years in increased corn yeilds to the point where Cullman County now produces thousands and thousands of bushels of corn for sale.This is. of course, a reason or many reasons for this changed situation. Better varieties, better fertilization. soil protection and improvement through better terraces, cover crops, and better cultural practices, are the major factors which have caused this great change. In other words, farmers are using production recommendations which are the result of scientific research in agriculture.mg
