Cotton's Rebound In Georgia
Jimmy Webb
Leary, Ga.
Viewed from any angle, it appears that our farmers are ready to jump back into cotton in a big way. We were on the corn bandwagon for a couple of years, but there were hidden costs in that crop – especially if you didn't have the infrastructure to harvest it. In other words, there was a lot of risk.
So, it reminds me of what our old farm friend Harvey Norton said about farming in the Great Depression years: "Use it up...wear it out...make it do...or do without."
We miss old Harvey, but his words of wisdom ring true. Our farmers love to grow cotton, and the future definitely looks brighter today.
