Aerial Shot of Dempsey Bros. Farm Windbreaks

Photograph of an aerial shot of windbreaks on the Dempsey Bros. farm and the surrounding area in the Southeastern corner of the Greer County Soil Conservation District. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Dempsey Bros. farm on extremely sandy soil in the Southeastern corner of the Greer County Soil Conservation District, Northeast of Blair, Okla. The first plantings were made in 1935 and the pattern gradually enlarged during the ensuing years. Cropland, vineyards, and the farm buildings all lie within the same protecting scheme. The Dempsey Bros. claim great benefits in soil stabilization and in increased crop and orchard yields. Their fruit has been saved many times."
