Photograph of a Soil and Water Conservation District [SWCD] operator is trying to get an early seedbed prepared to plant spinach. 5 tons per acre can be produced on the land if not for the lack of adequate drainage limiting it to 1 crop in 5 to 8 years. Seedbed preparation is costly. When the Cache 566 Project is completed this land will be drained with a good rotation followed. OK-1541-11.

Photograph of charcoaled wood from culled hardwoods. Many acres of LeFlore county soils are covered with cull hardwoods. Where the soil is well suited to tame pasture production, many land owners are removing the cull hardwoods in order to establish the area to improve pasture plants. By charcoaling the cull hardwoods a usable product is secured and a help in the cost of pasture development is realized.

Photograph of wood which has been charcoaled still retains some identity. The chunks are readily recognized as from an oak, hickory, etc.
