Abstract:
Edgecombe County farmer Bellmont Murphrey is a pioneer in a new agricultural practice of controlled drainage with sub-irrigation. Murphrey built a control device on his main ditch that would permit the release of water during periods of high rainfall and the conservation of water at other times. His water management system has helped him to produce high corn yields, and interest in the new practice is spreading among other farmers.
