Walt Altmeyer explains soil origins and formation processes in Franklin County. He details mineral and organic components, soil layers, horizons, weathering, climate, relief, time, and the role of plants and animals in shaping productive topsoil and the impact of erosion on communities.
H Arion Jones of Pomona was honored as a outstanding conservation farmer in Franklin County. He ascribes his land clearing and seeding program to 65 acres cleared after aerial spraying and 80 more acres cleared and seeded, totaling 160 acres seeded in brome or alfalfa. He owns 240 acres and rents 106 acres for pasture and 25 to 50 more acres on shares. His herd is 64 Holsteins with rotation pasturing from April to December to protect pasture. He built two silos and a 100 foot bunker feeder, remodeled buildings, and plans to map terraces for plastic tile. His son Kelly helped seed last fall.
Jones, busy with farming duties, outlines a future project to build a milking barn while remaining active in community work. He serves on the Pomona United Methodist Church board and chairs several agricultural committees, including the Farmer Home Administration and the Artificial Breeders Association.
