Loyalty To Cotton Is Rewarded
Tommy Horton
It isn't often that 34 years go by before this magazine revisits a farmer after his photo has been on the cover. But that is exactly what has happened in this month's issue, and you'll find his remarkable story on pages 6, 7 and 8. Isn't it ironic that Whisenhunt's message today is similar to what he was discussing in 1975? He's still expounding on the advantages of planting a crop early, and he continues to promote his unique skip-row technique just as he did many years ago.
Had it not been for a phone call I received from him in August, I might not ever have gotten the chance to drive to Bradley, Ark., and see his operation firsthand. But he was insistent that I needed to see how his management style could produce record-breaking yields and quality. Initially, it seemed like a long trip (300 miles), but after seeing how he consistently delivers yields between 3 and 5 bales per acre every year, it was a trip I'll never regret making.
