Photograph of Rogers, left, and Robert N. Wall, SCS technician, examining 30-acres field seeded to native grass in April, 1948.

This field had been in cultivation about 20 years , mostly peanuts and row feed. "Wouldn't hardly pay gas and oil bill then," says Rogers. Planting first grazed in 1950 with 42 head of cattle June 15 to Sept. 1. Rogers' grazing plan is to use the planting some in spring, take off when about half used, then winter on the field. 7RP-III
