Photograph of Martin examining part of his 48 acres of fescue-ladino clover bottomland pasture. He turned 112 head of cattle on this 48 acres in December 1950, and left there until April 1, except during three weeks of severe weather in January. During that three months Martin says, the livestock had nothing else to eat, yet they fared better than cows that were on straight ladino and ryegrass and being given a couple of pounds of cake each day. Martin also has fescue-ladino planted on 15 fertile upland acres.
