Salt Fork SCD Notes S. S. Coleman Converts Cropland to Grass
S. S. Coleman of Salt Fork SCD operates 1,000 acres mainly as a cow calf ranch on 885 acres with 112 acres of cotton and grain. Facing labor shortages and marginal land, he seeded 252 acres to grass under the Conservation Reserve Program for five years with SCS help. He planted blue grama in 1958, weeping lovegrass and Johnson grass on other blocks, and re seeded failed blue grama. The CRP contract ended in 1961. he now grazes the land and plans 82 more acres to permanent grass next year totaling 284 acres converted. The shift reduces labor and expands his cropland profitability and livestock enterprise.
