more land for farming and tim
ber production. In all, 11 tracts
have been purchased to bring
their holdings to 1300 acres.
The f way Mr. Satterwhite has
handled bis land has been one of
the main factors in his success.
As each new tract was added, he
sized up the land as to its best
use for row crops, pastures and
timber prodution and set aboujt
getting the,land into these uses.
Fields selected for crop use were
cleaned up, terraced, and seeded
to soli improving crops. The low,
moist lands were diverted to pas
ture while steeper and rougher
lands were left in trees.
With restrictions on cotton
acreage, Mr. Satterwhite ex
^d, corn, entail grain and
crop*’ prSduction and added
stock to his farm operations,
doing this he observed the princL
Idea long advocated by Co. Agent
Ezell of getting his produce as
nearly ready for consumption as
possible right on the farm.
The livestock program on the
farm has been enlarged as the
farm feed production increased.
In the early forties a few dairy
cows were kept and surplus milk
sold as Grade C on the Borden
milk route. This enterprise has
now grown into a Grade A dairy
of 35 milking cows that is operat
ed with Mr. Batterwhite’s father.
Next came hogs to consume the
grain being produced. As. more
land was developed for pasture
and grazing, beef cattle was
added.
The current farming program
of the Satterwhite farm looks
like this: About 620 acres of land
are used for crops and 680 acres
are in managed timber produc
tion. Of the 620 acres, 90 acres
are in cotton, 150 acres iq corn,
and about 300 acres in small grain
ftnd grazing crops, 10 acres in al
falfa and 70 acres in highly im
proved permanent pasture.
The. livestock consists of a 50-
csw dairy, 17 brood sows, and 50
head of beef cattle.
In the balanced program the
grain crops are grazed until a-
bout March, then nitrogen is ap
plied to produce a grain crop.
Double cropping is practiced with
ps like lespedeza and sweet
following the grain crops.
«e attention is given to the
ection of good seed, reommen-
fertilizatlon practices, and
ct control. Yields on all crops
well above the county aver
bubite!*, or oats v per
is not uncommon even after
ter grazing. Up-to-date man-
>ment practices are followed
the livestock. '
> The Satterwhite farm has been
farmed with tractor-drawn equip
htent since 1945. The farm equip*
ment includes a diesel tractor,
three Farm-all tractors complete
with planting and chltivating
equipment, two combines, one
self-propelled and one pull type,
a pick-up hay baler, grain drill,
and manure spreader. Machinery
sheds and systematic mainten
ance conserve the machinery.
Sharecropper families and day
labor are used in the operation of
the farm. The mechanized equip
ment on this farm enables the
tenants to farm mpre land than
formerly and also to do most oi
the day labor required by Mr.
Satterwhite. This arrangement
makes it possible for .the tenant
families to have a hlgher-than-
average farm income. One tenant
family has. been with Mr. Satter
white since he started farming as
an owner. \
An important part of the Sat
terwhite farm operation is their
live-at-home program: An abun
dant supply of fresh, canned and
frozen foods are always on hand
to provide nutritious meals for
the family.
A new 8-room brick home has
replaced the small cottage in
which the Safcterwhites began
their farming career. * ’Hie new
home affords all modem conven
iences, running water, bathrooms,
and modern kitchen. There are
adequate closets and ad attic to
provide plenty, of storage space
for the family.
In the yard Mrs. Satterwhite
has carried out the landscape
theme worked out! by the New
berry Home Demonstration agent.
The pattern of the flowers and
shrubbery plantings make an at
tractive setting for the new home.
The Satterwhite family consists
of Mr. and Mrs. Satterwhite and
three children, Linda, Wayne and
William. Linda, age IS, is in her
fourth year of 4-H.club wprk and
Wayne, age\ 10, is completing his
first year. William is looking for
ward To 4-H club projects in about
two years.
The Satterwhitea are active i
community affairs. Mrs. Satter
white has been a member of * the
Bush River ^ome Demonstration
club since she came to the com
munity some 15 years ago. She
takes an active part fh church
work, being treasurer of the
Missionary society and leader of
the Sunbeams. Mrs. Satterwhite
likes to garden and work with
flowers. ... , u i ( " ;
Mr. Satterwhite is a deacon in
the Bush River Baptist church,,
serves on the county farm- loan
committee otrfthe Farmers Home
Administration, and is a charter
member of the Bush River Young
•Farmers club Which Was organiz
ed iii 1952.
Ndwherry County agent Paul B.
Ezell says the Satterwhite farm
and home is an outstanding ex-
ample of progress that can be
made by thorough planning, in
telligent management and the fol-'*
lowing of proven farm and Lome
practices over a period of years.
