Ground conditions — Stanton, TX
Sandy loam farm ground over caliche across Martin County — easy digging up top, with a hard layer underneath that sets how deep a cut can practically go.
Rain sheets across flat cotton ground instead of channeling, so terraces and graded waterways end up doing the work that natural fall does elsewhere.
