Photograph of J. M Teeter showing Jim Wyman, SCS, his irrigated pasture consisting of fescue orchardgrass, smooth brome, perennial ryegrass, and ladino clover. A larger herd of cattle is directly behind them. The photograph does not indicate left to right position of Teeter or Wyman. The back of the photograph proclaims, "J. M Teeter showing Jim Wyman, SCS, his irrigated pasture of fescue orchardgrass, smooth brome, perennial ryegrass, and ladino clover. The 8.6 acres were seeded in fall of 1949, then divided into 8 plots, each grazed 1 to 3 days and then rested 15 to 25 days. Pasture fertilized in early spring with 200# 16-20-0 and top dressed in summer with 100# ammonium nitrate. This has enabled Teeter to carry 25 head cows & calves during the summer."
