Sweet Clover as Green Manure

Land was limed 6 or 7 years ago of 2.5 tons per acre and 500 lbs. of Raw Rock Phosphate per acre. Sweet clover in crop rotation is a common practice on the Groeneman farm. He says it opens the soil and allows better moisture penetration and improves crop yields.

Bees

Photograph of Claude Webb proudly displayes a few of the live bees from the 70 bee hives on his farm. Bees are the most important factor in the pollination of soil conservation legumes.
