Nothing Seems To Discourage Larry McClendon These Days
By Tommy Horton
Two of McClendon's closest friends are National Cotton Council agronomist Bill Robertson and Arkansas cotton consultant Bob Griffin. Robertson worked with McClendon for 12 years when he was the state cotton Exten-sion specialist. Griffin has been a consultant for the McClendon farm for more than 30 years.
"What I remember about Larry is that he always asked me good, tough questions," says Robertson. "And he always put his gin customers first. He was always trying to find things that would help them on the farm. I also remember that he would make sure everybody else's cotton got ginned before his own cotton was ginned. That's the kind of person he is."
Griffin recalls that McClendon always surrounded himself with good people on the farm and at the gin. He also was known for "being a perfectionist and did not ever want to settle for things being done halfway."
He says McClendon knows how to delegate responsibility, but will always be checking his fields at daybreak to make sure he knows whatever problem needs to be address-ed on each turnrow.
