Then, there was the nightmare

Larry McClendon's Memorable Journey

Tommy Horton

Then, there was the nightmare that occurred in the fall of 2009 when torrential rains pounded the Mid-South for most of September and October. More than half of his cotton, corn and soybean crops were damaged. By his own admission, it was the "most challenging year" he has had in 35 years of farming.

As he would later say, perseverance has a way of helping a person get through any difficult situation. Larry has had time to reflect on that historic year as NCC chairman, and he has put the memory of last fall's crop season behind him. Now he's rested and rejuvenated.

He looks ahead to something that always excites him – getting ready to plant the next cotton crop.
