Carl Crouse Kept Liscomb, Iowa Farm To 150 Acres Alone
A Liscomb Iowa farmer, Carl Crouse a Marshall County graduate, runs 150 acres by himself with three horses and a tractor. He divides his 159 acre holding into four fields with 105 crop acres, grows corn small grains soybeans and clover, and uses soybeans for hog feed while testing a four year rotation. He emphasizes fall plowing and efficient soil handling with a 15 foot barrow, two row cultivator and groundhog methods, keeping production high while reducing labor needs. Crouse also raises about 150 feeding hogs annually, selling market weight in November, and uses corn silage from about 10 acres of corn.
