| Potter County soil has been smelled, tasted, analyzed and some of it farmed for over 35 years. The dark loam top-soil is rich in lime, phosphorus and nitrogen. The sub-soil is a porous yellow clay which absorbs and holds moisture. This is the ideal combination—and we have it! |
| It is mellow and easy to work. This shows the usual method of breaking the raw land and seeding the first flax crop. This outfit converts 35 acres of raw prairie into plowed and seeded farm land in one day. |
| The first crop of flax often pays in full for the land. In fact, we have seen over $100.00 worth grown on one acre. Of course that's too much to count on every year; but it's a good, safe crop, and an easy money-maker. Sod corn also does very well as a first crop. |
