Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Survey of Boone County, West Virginia The principal crops grown are corn, oats, hay, potatoes, and vegetables. Since the early settlement of the county corn has been grown on a larger acreage than any other crop. The 1910 census reports a production of bushels from acres. The acreage of corn remains about the same. The quality of corn is not of the best, for little or no attention is paid to the selection of seed Or the introduction of improved strains. Hickory King, Boone County White, and Reids Yellow Dent are grown in the county, but the greater part of the corn produced is from nondescript seed.
