Although Whisenhunt’s

Record Yields In SW Ark.?

Tommy Horton

Although Whisenhunt's acreage is small, he believes there is information he can share with farmers in every region of the country. He's not guaranteeing spectacular yields, but he is confident that certain practices can benefit any area.

Minimum till is a practice that he has used for many years along with polypipe irrigation, and he highly recommends this approach. In fact, Whisenhunt has planted into undisturbed beds for eight consecutive years. He likes how it maintains the root structure of the soil, promotes root growth and increases yields.

Best Kept Secret In Arkansas

To the casual observer, it might not seem possible that such a record-breaking yield performance could occur in what Whisenhunt refers to as "the forgotten part of Arkansas." But Joe Vestal, Extension county agent in Lewisville, Ark., has known Whisenhunt for 30 years and can vouch for his expertise as a cotton producer.
