Farming Equipment and Methods

Description: Photograph of Hugo Nika (left) and R.E. Daniels [right] examine seed on blue panicum. The 2-row plantings of blue panicum, alternating with 40 ft. strips (12 rows) of clean-tilled land, serve as windbreaks to protect fields from wind damage.

They were planted in the Fall of 1951. TX-48-262.
