It takes a mighty good farmer to raise nearly 40 head of cattle on 59 acres of land. But this is just what two brothers are doing. In fact, the animals have done so well on alfalfa, ground corn, and molasses, these farmers have not thought it necessary to feed supplement.
By profession, W.C. and B.L. Kutz, who farm in northwest Columbiana County, are custom threshers. With the advent of the combine, however, their livelihood was threatened.
