Rappahannock farmers and apple growers are using information from our syil survey more each week. Those consulting the survey recently have been,: Billy Kilby and Maurice O’Bannon in plannig expansion of apple orchards; AIpheus Cannon, A. L. Clark and John Dodson in locating soils suited for Alfalfa production; Ray Cannon in determining pasture /ertilization rates coupled with chemical soil analysis.
