Soil Conservation District notes pasture results and plans
The Lower Neches Soil Conservation District met July 14 1955 with members including Gene Warren and B E Rae. A conservation plan for C P Stankard Batson was approved. Sam Randall reported on 20 acres of White Dutch clover pasture near Silsbee showing 180 pounds per cow from 17 cows by late May and plans to graze yearlings through summer. The clover residue enriched soil and a six inch growth by early July highlighted pasture management tips. The Barry Brothers report Bermuda after Vetch on Village Creek soil and note improvement is possible with proper plant selection and management.
