William Senn Farm Is Proof Owners
Believe Diversification The Only Way
ggpas?:
In the past ten j’ears the system
of farming has been completely
changed on the farm of William E.
Senn in the Smyrna Community of
Newberry County Soil Conserva
tion District.
Ten years ago about 75 to 100
acres of cotton were planted and
10 to 15 cow r s were milked. This
year about 10 acres of cotton will
be planted and 77 cows are being
milked. The cotton allotment for
the farm is 21 acres, but Mr. Senn
doesn’t plan to plant * this much.
“Cotton is too much trouble for
me. M he says. Can you imagine a
man who gets up early every
morning to milk saying a thing
like that?
Anyway he now* has about 200
bead of dairy cows and heifers
and is gradually increasing his
milking herd to 100. He also has
20 beef cows which he says he
keeps to consume his rough feed.
“I do now what Dad Amis and
I want to do but sometime Dad
wants, me to do more than I can
do,” says Mr. Senn. This is
another way to say that he is fol
lowing a plan prepared for his
farm in cooperation with the New’-
berry County Soil Conservation
District to use wisely and treat
kindly each acre on the farm. Mr.
Amis is the SCS technician wbo
helped prepare the plan.
Cotton acreage is now* down to
about 10 acres and corn is down
to about 50 acres. Income is ob
tained instead from sale of wheat,
milk, beef, dairy breeding stock,
and woodland products. Feed
comes from about 250 acres of
oats, wheat, and barley for grain,
from permanent pastures and an
nual mixtures for grazing, from al
falfa for hay, and from, sorghum
cane for silage.
When asked why he plants
small grain instead of corn he re
plied, “I know I am going to get
rain in winter. I don’t know
whether I’ll get rain in summer or
not.” He has also observed that he
gets less erosion when he grows

SAVINGS
‘'Save lYhere Hundreds Save Millions"
We will be closed Monday, July 5th in
celebration of Independence Day
close growing crops instead of row
crops. He said, “I used to have a
right good bit of washing but SCS
helped me terrace the whole place
and plan pastures. I don’t have
but one wash on the place now and
it won’t be there long.”
Coastal Bermuda grass, a
drouth-resistant newcomer to the
farm, is finding favor with Mr.
Senn. “1 like that stuff. I be
lieve it is going to be the grass”
is the way he describes it. A two
acre nursery patch was establish
ed on the farm last year. Some
sprigs were furnished by the Soil
Conservation Service Nursery and
some came from certified stock at
Tifton, Georgia. He plans to plant
four more acres this year. , V
This year’s plans also call for
planting 20 acres of fescue and
ladino clover and the building of
250 rods of cross fencing to per
mit better rotation of grazing. He
is expecting cost-sharing from
the Agricultural Conservation
Program in this seeding and fenc
ing program.
If you don’t like pretty pines
you shouldn’t visit this farm.
There are about 100 acres of
naturally reforested panes that up
lift you when you stroll through
them and about 15 acres of pines
planted by OCC boys about 15
years ago that are growing vig
orously.
‘‘The pines are for Patsy,” says
Mr. Senn, with a gleaim of loving
affection in his eyes, as he thinks
of college plans for his seven year
old daughter. ‘‘I’m proud of ’em,”
he says. You have no doubt that
he is referring to the pines and
Patsy both. “1 sold milk to pay my
w'ay through college. I am count
ing on pines to pay for Patsy’s
education,” he said.
Most of the help on this farm
was reared there. The well kept
dwellings, electricity, and other
conveniences are indications of
stability.
Water conservation and man
agement is given attention along
with soil conservation in a re
markable way by this farmer who
loves the land. Terraces over the
crop land; bermuda meadows in
the natural draws; pasture, trees,
and other close growing crops on
the steeper slopes cause much of
the rainfall to soak into the soil
and control the excess as it leaves
the fields. But this is not all. Be
fore it leaves the farm another
obstacle is in its path. Three
farm ponds catch and store some
of the run-off water and provide
food and fun for the farm family.
