Farmers Invited To
See Kudzu Hay
Harvesting, Aug. 27
A number of farmers in McCor
mick County could be curing val
uable kudzu hay if they knew the
“tricks of the trade.” Harvesting
this crop is not difficult and caa
be done with any good mower.
There are, however, several prac
tical attachments and methods
which will make the job easier
according to B: W. Crouch, acting
local Work Unit Conservationist
of the Savannah Valley Soil Con
servation District.
In order to actually see the
Tmple job of harvesting kudzu
hay we have arranged to visit
Mr." Olin E. Warner’s farm on the
afternoon of Friday, August 27.
Mr^ Warner now has 41 acres
planted to kudzu and has made
an outstanding success in har
vesting hay and crowns from this
