Another son, Erle West Barham (born 1964), known as West, farms a large area about the family's Ingleside Plantation in Leflore and Carroll counties in [[Mississippi]]. West Barham, as he is known, claims residences in Sidon  and Greenwood, Mississippi. He grows cotton, rice, corn, and soybeans. He is married to the former Trudy Bridges (born 1963), and the couple has two children, Laten Edwards Barham and Nathaniel West Barham. West Barham is also a conservationist who has made a name for himself trying to preserve the habitat and survival of the bobtail quail. He is sometimes called the "quail man." The conservationist thrust of the family was actually set by the senior Erle Barham. There is a wildlife refuge on Barham properties in Morehouse Parish near the parish seat of Bastrop, and the Tensas Wildlife Refuge near Delhi in Richland Parish came to fruition with the help of the senior Barham.<ref name=farmandfowl>{{cite web|url=http://deltafarmpress.com/mag/farming_farming_fowl_go/index.html|title=Farming and fowl can go together|date=January 23, 2004|author=Eva Ann Dorris|publisher=''Delta Farm Press'' (Pontotoc, Mississippi)|accessdate=October 20, 2014}}</ref>​
