The Taylors expanded their property to 12,000 acres (4,856 ha), growing corn, cotton, sugar cane, and other crops.

The brothers hired Mexican workers to farm their land and the laborers began calling Toliver "Don Tol" in the Spanish style.

To the north, there is an electric power sub-station where an overhead transmission line runs east and west.
