Larry McClendon’s Memorable Journey

Larry McClendon's Memorable Journey
Tommy Horton


Reminiscing about memorable events in our lives can either be pleasant or painful – depending on how we remember those experiences. No matter what description is used, we are supposed to be wiser moving forward after such "character building events." Suddenly, we have insight into the future because of what we've witnessed.

If a person truly believes in that philosophy, he can appreciate how Arkansas producer-ginner Larry McClendon feels today. Not to sound overly sentimental, but he has seen it all during the past two years. It was a journey like no other, but he is glad to have had the chance to go on it.

And what did he do that was so historic or memorable? For openers, he was chairman of the National Cotton Council in 2008 and NCC board chairman in 2009. He was the point man for the cotton industry during some of the most important events in recent ag history – the 2008 Farm Bill debate and WTO negotiations, to name a couple of the more noteworthy ones.
