It was a taugh decision Ennis and Jerry Byrd of
Proctorville made last winter. They decided to buy
sn irrigation system rather than replace a well
worn tractor. Hie farming season had hardly begun
this spring when the father-son team knew they had
made the right choice, according to Woody Upchurch,
agricultural information specialist at North Caro
lina State University.
Like nearly all North Carolina flue-cured grow
ers, the Byrds struggled to get their new crop estab
lished in bone-dry soil. Some of it is the same land
that Jerry’s grandfather, V. 0. Byrd, had farmed for
years without giving much thought to having to
supplement the usually ample rains that fall in this
southeast corner of Robeson County.
"We always grew tobacco and nearly always had
plenty of rain, said the eldest Byrd, who is almost
68. "Now water, or the lack of it, has become one of
the biggest concerns in trying to grow a crop.”
It was the lack of rain last summer, about midway
through the tobacco harvest season, that "pretty
much convinced” Jerry and his father that they
couldn’t continue growing tobacco without full irri
gation capability.
"The leaves from about halfway the stalk on up
just wouldn’t cure out right because of the dry grow
ing conditions,” explained Jerry. "We were set up to
water some of the tobacco (46 acres), but we only had
a hand-move system and we didn’t have the time nor
the labor to irrigate much of the crop.”
With that experience fresh in mind, Jerry and
Ennis decided they could not afford to go another
season without a modern irrigation system. The
price tag was over $15,000.
Ennis and Jerry irrigated all of their 42-acre crop
this spring almost immediately after transplanting.
This wouldn’t have been possible without the new
equipment.
The Byrd tobacco crop grew lush and green. It was
healthy and ready to grow when rain finally came,
thanks to the early irrigation.
"The irrigation saved us from having to do a lot of
replanting,” Jerry said. "I guess we saved about
three days of replanting, and you can figure that at
a cost of about SSOO a day. The irrigation system has
already saved us that much, plus helping us avoid
irregular plant growth and all the troubles that go
with it throughout the season.”
Now that the Byrds have the mechanical
capabilities to apply water on their tobacco, and if
needed, on their corn and soybeans, the focus of their
concern is on the water supply.
"If farmers around here of a generation or two ago
gave little thought to having to supplement rainfall,
they gave no thought at all to not having enough
water,” observed Clarence Stockton, Robeson
County agricultural extension agent.
"This is the dilemma more and more of our farm
ers are finding themselves in—where is the water
coming from to put on the crops,” said Stockton.
The extension agent said Robeson ponds and
streams, like those in most other areas of the state,
aren’t likely to be refilled before this fall or winter
at the earliest.
Jerry said he and his father figure they have
access to enough water to put on three one-inch
applications of irrigation water. "That would get the
crop to maturity,” Jerry said. "But if it needs more
than that, we’re in trouble.”
The young farmer looks at this most recent point
"There have always hsen^alienges— serious chal
lenges—in farming. This is oiie of them, and I’m
sure there will be more. We’ll find away to work
this one out, but it sure would be nice if we could
concentrate on growing a good tobacco crop without
having to worrry about how dry it is,” he added.
Just how dry nas it been in southeastern Robeson
County? V. O. Byrd pointed to a patch of low-lying
woodland several hundred vards behind his home.
"Last winter you could walk through that swamp
and not get your feet wet,” he said, "fnever saw that
before, and didn’t think I ever would.”
