Dad participated in the Test Demonstration Farm program operated by the University of Tennessee Department of Agriculture. In this program, he tried various seeds, fertilizers, and farming methods according to specified procedures and in return, visitors were brought to the farm from all over the world to see the results.
This photo taken in 1956 shows Home Demonstration Agent, Angie Fugate, fourth from the left with visitors to our farm. Mom and Dad are the second and third from the left.
This photo appeared in the Tennessee Land and Life Science published in February, 2005 by the University of Tennessee.
