- Description:
- Work Unit Conservationist J.C. Butler monitoring rescuegrass planted on Dr. J.C. Thomas' farm near Evans, Georgia. Rescuegrass is a short-lived bunch grass named for its propensity for quick growth following a drought. Used widely during the 1930s and 1940s, rescuegrass is a common weed and is no longer recommended for new plantings in Georgia. Photograph taken by Leon J. Sisk for the USDA Soil Conservation Service, now known as the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
