After two consecutive corn crops, Aycock knew that it was time to rotate cotton into his corn acreage. However, even though the corn-cotton rotation is ideal, Aycock has a word of warning to his fellow producers. Check the soil and make sure the pH is at the proper level.

Aycock also is concerned that producers who have been away from cotton for two to three years won't study enough data and understand how much cotton production has changed during this time period.
