In the 1930s Sam B. Hayter, the fourth generation, developed a dairy at the farm and Pure Milk and Ice, a milk processing plant in Nacogdoches.
In 1946 the first gas lease was signed and several gas wells drilled at the farm. One of the original gas wells is still in production. After World War II, Sam B. Hayter built a sawmill on the farm and began to produce lumber from his own timber and timber from the surrounding area. A feed store in town and a pea canning operation at the farm called the Stone Fort Pea Company were among his other agribusiness endeavors.

Upon Sam B. Hayter's death in 1955 the farm and family homestead at 1411 North St. were placed into a family trust. Soon after, a significant amount of timber was cut from the farm to pay the inheritance tax.

For the following 10 years, little activity occurred other than to protect the forest. Timber activity started again in the late1960s with small, annual timber sales being made. In 1976 a full time forester was hired to implement more intensive forest management activities, and over the next decade silvacultural activities such as controlled burning and other timber improvement operations were implemented. By 1986, clearcuts of the farm's
shortleaf pine timber started to make way for the planting of improved loblolly pine plantations. Today the farm contains over 100 loblolly pine plantations ranging from one to 30 years of age.

In 1988 a 50-acre blueberry field was established on some of the deep sandy soils that cover one third of the farm. These soils - marginal for growing pine timber - are well suited for blueberries when watered daily with the clear spring water that flows from the streams adjacent to the field. One of the largest blueberry fields in Texas, the Hayter blueberry field has contributed to making Nacogdoches County recognized as the blueberry center of the state. There are 65 acres under cultivation that produce an average of 300,000 pounds annually.

In 2009, the Texas Blueberry Festival in Nacogdoches marked a record attendance and the Hayter Farm sold more than 17,000 pounds of blueberries.
The farm serves as an outdoor classroom for a number of groups. College labs from the departments of forestry, horticulture, biology, botany and archeology of Stephen F. Austin State University are regular visitors. The farm also provides a stop for workshops conducted by the Texas Forest Service and the county's Texas AgriLife Extension Service.
