Farmers in Dallas County Adopt Crop and Livestock Diversification
W L Henderson, land and industrial agent for Mobile Ohio and Southern Railways, reports that Dallas County farmers are diversifying into forage crops and livestock. A tour with Selma Chamber of Commerce members showed cattle and hogs bred and raised locally, with oats and corn feeding, crimson clover and burr clover planted, and many farmers selling beef and pork at good prices. Henderson says this trend mirrors other central and southern Alabama counties and reflects broader railroad-backed diversification efforts.
