From everything I've heard, the chemical and seed companies are on board with the cotton industry for the long haul. They have a lot at stake just like the farmers do. We certainly couldn't function without their support. These folks are going to help us to protect the industry's infrastructure, and that's very critical as we go into 2010. We need good things to happen in cotton because 2009 was definitely a tough year for us in the Mid-South.

We've lost a lot of cotton acres in the last few years. However, our allied partners are still sticking with us. The seed companies, for example, continue to deliver very good varieties to us that will help improve our crop production. So, I haven't seen any dropoff in commitment from the companies out there that support cotton. A lot of farmers had sold their pickers when they got out of cotton, but now I'm seeing more farmers coming back to cotton and buying new equipment. It's good to know that our allied industry friends have stayed with us.
