One ton of lime each 8 years and 300 pounds of super-phosphates each 3 years are being applied to this field. This pasture, according to Mr. Wyatt, has a carrying capacity of a cow and a calf per acre. This farm unit consists of some 90 acres of Bermuda base pasture and 10 acres of Dallis grass pasture. The pasture supports some 50 purebred beef cows for some 10 months per year. Land Capability Class I 7-FC. Slight erosion.
