Description
South Dakota farmers and cattlemen who took the advice of farm experts last spring when they predicted a shortage of rain for 1934 are safely weathering the drought. The above photo shows the growth of two drought resistant cattle feed crops on the CS Betts farm near Huron SD. In the foreground is part of the pasture of Russian Thistle. Behind it is a stand of Amber cane that yields a ton and a half of silage to the acre.
