ACRICi m RAL HISTORY
McCulloch County wa* or-
iginally settled, a* all Texas
counties, along the rivers and
streams. Ranching wa* the on-
ly method of utilising the land
in the early days. Therefore,
water for livestock came from
nature's streams.
I-ater, as methods for drill-
ing water wells and pumping
were improved, homestead*
were developed around good
level bottom land; therefore,
cultivation of crop* along with
ranching came into teeing. With
improved farming technology
and equipment, dryland farm-
ers prospered because of the
rich bottom land.
The county is still basi-
cally built around its agricul-
tural economy. The agricultural
1 enterprises

are diversified,
livestock and field
crops are the heart of the econ-
omy. At one time there were 17
cotton gins locatc-d in the coun-
ty. Now, there lire six, with
limited operations.

For many years, 160
acres of land adequately
supported a family unit.
Much of the labor was per-
formed hy family workera
and produrtion expenses
were kept to a minimum.

acres under average con-
ditions, can barely support
a family and give them the
living conditions of modern
times.
