Soil Conservation
Service News
Now is the time to start setting
kudzu crowns. When setting kudzu
there should be enough fertilizer
put in the rows where • the plants
are put to give the plants a good
start for the growing season.
Kudzu can also be grazed during
the summer after a stand has been
established, and can also be grazed
after frost if there is enough growth
put on the vines before killing frosts
begin.
Also, you can cut kudzu for hay
if the proper treatment is given the
plants in the spring.
Kudzu is used successfully in
erosion control of gullies, if it is set
before the gullies are too far erod
ed. So, between now and the 15th
of March is the time to get your
crowns set.
There are several farmers who
plan to plant kudzu this spring.
Some of these are: H. J. Sharpe,
Hoyt Reeves, Leroy Lavender, Le
roy Day, Curtis Morris, and several
of the G. I. Trainees.
