It Pays To Be Flexible

Nobody can accuse Texas producer Ronnie Hopper of not being flexible when it comes to responding to the market.

Hopper has farmed for more than 35 years in Petersburg about 40 miles northeast of Lubbock. A lifelong cotton producer, Hopper and his son R.N. moved most of their 1,600 acres over to wheat and corn three years ago. At the time, it made sense because of lower cotton prices and attractive grain prices.

In 2010, the Hoppers will move back into cotton for the same reason they left the crop three years ago.
