Mayers Enthusiastic About
Farm Conservation Plans
A father, son, and grandson
partnership is much in evidence
on the Mayer farms near Pomaria.
J. A. Mayer, the 77 year old fath
er, his son M. O. Mayer, and his
grandson Adam are the three
male members of the team. Mrs.
J. A. Mayer and Mrs. M. O. Mayer
also play a prominent part in the
planning and application of work
on these farms.
M. O. said: “If anybody had
told me when I was 21 years old
that I would ever own more than
a house and lot I would have shot
him for being crazy.” Now he
owns seven tracts containing 1068
acres of land and also operates 200
acres of pasture and crops on
his father’s farm.
Adam is in the 12th grade at
Monticello high school. He is an
chored to the soil by baakground
and interest. He recently wrote an
essay entitled, “Building Fertility
to Cut F'arm Costs” and entered
it in a - national contest sponsored
by the Grange in cooperation with
the American Plant Food council.
Adams father has set a good ex
ample on his farms for a story
about soil conservation and land
'building. In 1950 E. E. Epting,
Soil Conservation Service techni
cian, helped him prepare a whole-
farm soil and water conservation
plan for one farm.
This plan called for land use as
follows: 23 acres of crimson clo
ver and rye grass, 14 acres of se-
ricea, 23 acres of fescue and ladi-
no clover, and 120 acres of woods.
Mr. Mayer liked this plan so he
applied to the supervisors of the
Newberry county Soil Conserva
tion District for help in planning

and applying soil and*water con
servation practices on all land he
owns. Tne result has been a total
of seven plans prepared and much
progress made in the application
of work planned.
M. O. is enthusiastic about se-
ricea. He said “I think sericea is
the only way a beef farmer can
exist. I’ll take my $5000 for irri
gation in sirecea lespedeza.” He
means what he says too. He now
has 120 acres in sericea. His goal
is 400. He harvested 1500 pounds
of seed on his farms last year and
plans to plant all of it on his land
this year. He has been following
this practice for several years and
is rapidly increasing his acreage
of sericea with home grown seed.
The cotton allotment for this
year is 44 acres. He plans to plant
about 18 acres.
Barley is grown instead of corn.
“It provides cheaper feed and
gives more protection to the land”
he says. Only about 15 acres of
corn will be planted this year.
Small grain followed by lespede
za, sericea, annual grazing, and
permanent pasture occupy most
of the open land on the farm.
"About 200 high quality Here-
fords now consume the grass
grown. Mr. Mayer plans to level
off at 100 brood cows and sell
cattle and seed for farm income.
M. O. now lives on' the first
place he bought which was ob
tained about 15 years ago. On
this farm the soil and water con
servation plan calls for 6 acres of
alfalfa, 11 acres of .permanent pas
ture, 25 acres of annual grazing,
9 acres of woods, and 1 acre house
site. On all the farms there are
about 660 acres in cultivation and
improved pasture. About 200 acres
of this is permanent pasture.
Mr. Mayer plans to use AGP
cost-sharing this year to plant 30
acres of sericea, 33 acres of lan-
dino clover and fescue and five
acres of coastal bermuda. These
practices fit right into the soil
and water conservation plans for
these farms 'like properly oiled'
wheels meshing together.
There is one pond on Mr. J. As.
home farm but it is easy to see
that the grandson, Adam, had
something to do with its being
there. He has fishing of. his mind.
M. O. is planning to build a pond
on one of his farms too. Adam's
influence is felt by father and
grandfather. This is well though,
since ponds provide wholesome,
healthful recreation which all
three of these hard working farm
ers are justly entitled to.
Trees make up an important
part of “conservation farming”,
too. M. O. says, “It 'hurts me as
bad to see a pine cut as it does to
have a tooth filled. I know both
are needed, however, and plan to
i do some selective cutting to im-
! prove the stands.” It is a delight
ful experience to ride through the
hundreds of acres of woods to en
joy the trees and see the covey of
quail rise as you pass below the
fish pond.

offers -technical assistance to any
farmer within the district who re

helped to prepare a complete plan
for his farm. The goal for each
plan is the use of every acre of
land within its capability. There
are presently 1208 members of the
Newberry Cotmty SOD. Furnishing
the technical assistance are em
