CABARRUS COUNTY: During the week I visited most of the poultry flock owners who kept records last year. Sixteen of the 17 who started to keep records completed them.

Mrs. G. L. Barrier, Mt. Pleasant, route 1, has one of the best flocks of year old hens I have seen, I culled out a few hens that had molted, most of them are still producing real well.

I find an increased interest in poultry over the county and have 21 flocks lined up to start records for this hear – W. H. Williams, Assistant Agent.

Green Hill Farm Is Turning to Livestock
BY ROY D. GOODMAN

Green Hill Farm, Mt. Pleasant, Route 1, owned and operated by Mrs. G. L. Barrier and her two sons, L. B. Barrier and J. D. Barrier, began to change from crop farming to a combination of crop and livestock farming back in 1928 by buying a registered Guernsey male and several females. Their purchase totaled 12 females during the first few years and were all the cows that have been purchased to date. Their herd now numbers 126 head of registered Guernsey females. They are consistently using Maxim bred bulls.

“Golden Guernsey” milk is distributed from this herd by the Cabarrus creamery located at Concord.

In addition to the large herd of Guernseys, the other livestock on this farm include a poultry flock of 400 layers, a sufficient number of hogs to furnish the family meat supply and eight head of farm work stock.

LIVE AT HOME

The owners of Green Hill farm have long practiced a “Live-at-Home” program and have produced all the food for the home (except certain staple groceries) as well as the necessary feed for the farm livestock. All hay and silage and 1,600 pounds of every ton of grain feed fed on this farm is produced on it. With the use of a modern hammer mill and a modern feed mixer, all ground feed mixtures for dairy, poultry and swine are prepared on the farm.

All the open land not in row crops on this farm is in lespedeza, including pastures. The chief crops grown on the farm in 1943 include: Oats, 74 acres; barley, 39; wheat, 7-1/2; corn, 64; soybeans, 40; cotton, 49-1/2; and lespedeza alone, 16 acres. All of the 120 acres of small grain were grown in combination of lespedeza. The 16 acres of lespedeza grown alone together with 15 acres of this were left for seed and the remainder cut for hay or left for soil building purposes. That acreage cut for hay averaged 1-1/2 tons or more of choice lespedeza hay per acre.

Dairying Big Business in Cabarrus

… The second largest dairy in the County is the Green Hill Farm, owned and operated by Mrs. G. L. Barrier and sons, L. B. and J. D. Barrier. The Green Hill Farm began conversion from crop farming to crop and livestock farming in 1928 by buying a registered Guernsey bull and several females. The herd now consists of 132 females and four males.

All milk from the Green Hill Farm is bottled under the “Golden Seal,” and with the exception of that sold in Mt. Pleasant, is distributed through the Cabarrus Cramery at Concord.

Of the 915 acres in the farm there are 365 acres of cropland and 82 acres of improved pasture. The major crops now grown on the farm are wheat, oats, barley, corn, cane, sorghum, soybeans, cotton, and lespedeza. Among the farm buildings are three silos and a barn, 66 by 102 feet, which is used for a lounging room for the dairy herd.
