Alfalfa Pasture

Photograph of alfalfa field developed in flood plain of Cloud Creek below detention reservoirs No. 1 and No. 2. This bottom land was formerly cut in two by a gully 4' to 6' deep. This ditch has been plowed in. The bottom formerlyy overflowed once or twice most years causing erosive crop losses and preventing the establishment of stand of alfalfa. Wheat made 35 bu. per acre in 1949. A rain occurring in May 1949 would have destroyed the crop on 30 acres had it not been for the Cloud Creek flood control construction. Alfalfa was seeded in Sept. A heavy rain falling in Nov. did not damage the stand of alfalfa.
