Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation

Description: Photograph of the Canant brothers’ farm, Idabel, Oklahoma.

They cleared 12 acres seeded it to Dallis grass, yellow hop, black medick and white Dutch clover. This improvement increased the land’s carrying capacity to two cows per acre. Additional pasture work has been done and the farm now carries 100 head of cattle. OK-9204.
