R. Roberson and his wife worked with their local NC Cooperative Extension agents to improve drainage on 6 acres of field to expand cattle production into winter. Richard and Doris plan to collaborate with their son Kevin by improving fields to raise cattle and increase productivity of land for hay.

Expected income totals 12,200 in next 2 years.

"Because of this grant we may potentially increase our hay production by 50-60 rolls."
