Reeds Use Terraces In Large Kansas Farm
Pomona farmer Ray Reed champions contour farming and has applied 43000 feet of terraces and five acres of waterways on 594 acres. He began farming in 1947, expanded land holdings to 350 cropland acres with remaining land in grass and timber, and continues brush clearing. Reed grows wheat and soybeans for cash, with corn and milo for feed, raises cattle and sheep, and uses six ponds for water. He complements farm work with a big baler, stock feeders, bees, and 4H involvement for son Norman.

New Faces At SCS Franklin County Office Strengthen Staff
Soil Conservation Service in Franklin County gains manpower as Lelan Davis falls ill in 1976 leaving Gary Rader and Pauline Willford to manage the office. Jim Human and Gene Vining join in December to assist, with Vining part time and active in Richmond community affairs. The Osage County Soils team supervises them while the Tally Creek and Pottawatomie Creek watershed districts push toward a 1977 general plan and active construction phases. The county’s conservation program progresses toward erosion and flood protection nationwide.
