Ernest Congrove, 47, there miles southeast of Effingham, raises a variety of crops and livestock. He does this so that if there is a drop in the market on one item, the others will help carry the load.
Congrove has lived on his present farm 34 years. He was born near Bendena, and moved to this farm with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Ed Congrove in 1919, and since has bought the place. In addition to his home place of 160 acres he rents the neighboring Jarratt farm of 150 acres. he specializes in cattle, hogs, corn, wheat, oats, clover, alfalfa and pasture. Mrs. Congrove is the former Leona Jarratt, ad daughter of Henry Jarratt of Los Angeles, formerly of the Noffsinger community. They were married in 1934. His four children attend the Noffsinger school and A. C. H. S.
Congrove follows a rotation of one two years of corn, then oats, wheat and clover. He has 40 acres of red clover now, and usually has a large field of alfalfa, but is short on alfalfa this year.
He feeds between 50 and 60 head of hogs and keeps purebred Red Durocs. He also milks 10 to 12 head of cows on the average, sells cream at Everest and feeds skimmed milk to the hogs.
Congrove has a registered Angus bull, and tries to have 18 to 20 calves to feed each winter. At present he is feeding 30 calves.
He uses legumes, commercial fertilizer and manures to build up his soil. He is a member of the Atchison County Farm Bureau association and the Nortonville Christian church.
Hogs, he believes, are the most profitable of his operations this year, but says all operations must work together for a balanced farming program. His favorite sport is basketball and his favorite pastime is reading. His boyhood ambition was to become a farmer.
