Taylor Man Uses Coastal Bermuda
To Solve Farm's Erosion Problems
Paul Zimmerhanzel is turning
land he raises only maize and
to Coastal Bermuda to solve an
erosion problem on his farm.
Located in the Circleville com-
munity and touching the banks
of the San Gabriel river, flood-
waters have been carrying away
tons and tons of rich topsoil
from his croplands.
Being a conservationist — a
farmer that looks ahead — it
was quite evident there was no
future in this type of operation.
Seeking the answer that would
conserve his soil and provide a
return at the same time, Paul
established a pilot plot of 20
acres of Coastal Bermuda in
June, 1958.
Seeing the Coastal Bermuda
flourish from sprigs to a near
solid cover of lush grass in one
year, Paul is convinced he has
found the answer.
Instead of losing valuable soil,
the Coastal Bermuda will serve
as a collecting agency, absorbing
the “cream of the crop” from
farms up above.
Already, the Coastal Bermuda
has * provided grazing which
prompted Paul to make a more
conclusive decision.
A man can make more money
out of Coastal Bermuda, ferti-
lized, than from farming”, he
said.
Last week an adjoining eight
acres were sprigged with Coastal
Bermuda and Paul eventually
plans to have his entire bottom-
land area established' with it.
It’s not only the conversion
from cropland to pasture that is
e answer, however. It’s the
'oastal Bermuda that makes a
big difference. Paul is sold on it.
“It beat9 common two to one
without question,” he said.
In establishing the new plot in
Coastal Bermuda, Paul used the
soil conservation district’s sprig-
ging machine and sprigs from
his original plot.
Paul bought the 206-acre farm
in 1954, and immediately he be-
came a cooperator with the Tay-
lor Work Unit of the SCS. A
complete conservation plan was
worked out and installed, includ-
ing the construction of terraces
and crop rotation.
Being a livestock man, he uses
the entire farm, which is com-
prised of 106-acres in pasture, to
the best advantage. On the crop-
corn.
Paul is careful not to over-
graze his pasture. He uses the
theory that “It’s not the number
of cattle, but the pounds of beef
that is produced. That’s impor-
tant.”
Paul has another source of in-
come through pecans. Located
along the river area are some-
thing like 400 large pecan trees.
He has never made an actual
count of the trees. Ten acres of
the trees are budded varieties,
while others are mostly native.
