FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY
In the fall of 1937, the Eddie J.
Thomas family from Lee county
moved to HiUcrest. At that time,
Mr. Thomas had three mules, a
wagon, and the “necessary equip
ment for tobacco production. They
were primarily tobacco growers
but were looking for a place suit
able for the production of crops
and livestock. This family con
sists of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and
a son, Willie. These three do
most of the farm work, as other
members of the family are away
from home or in school. This
family works together as a team.
The farm of 103 acres had al
most 60 acres of open land to be
gin with. Recently 15 more acres
have been brought into produc
tion for use as cropland and pas
ture. At the present time, the
pasture consists of 30 acres but
more will be added as time per
mits. The Thomas family started
saving heifer calves a few years
ago. They are now milking seven
of these in a nice walk-through
milking barn. The work on the
barn they did themselves. The
milk check at present amounts to
about $250 each month from the
sale of Grade A milk being sent
to Fort Bragg. Cans of milk are
picked up each morning by the
milk truck on its regular route.
Recently five Holstein heifers
have been added to the herd. One
of these is milking at the present
time. They are expecting to be
milking about thirteen cows by
the first of the year.
The interesting thing to me is
the fact that after all that these
folks have done, they are not in
debt one dollar. They have a
tractor nojv and the necessary
equipment to go with it. In addi
tion to the above, this family
grows seven acres of tobacco and
about 32,000 broilers each year.
The cleanings from the dairy barn
and from the broiler houses go
back to the land for the produc
tion of grain and hay crops. When
I was there this week, they were
getting ready to start cutting on
a 14-acre field of peas and beans.
From the looks of this crop stand
ing in the field, I would judge that
it would easily cut two tons of
hay per acre. Already 500 bales
of bay have been put in the barn
and a trench silo has been filled
with about 75 tons of corn silage.
Two large stacks of oats which
were not needed so far are still on
hand for winter feeding when
necessary. Feed for the cattle is
ground on the farm and the neces
sary supplement added.
It is interesting to find a family
of this type and to note the things
they are doing. Instead of having
one source of income, these folks
have three and they are doing a
good job of all of it. A visit to
this farm will prove this to you.
They are- busy all the time but as
they told me, they are not in debt
on what they have done.
