Mississippi Farmers Brooks Aycock and Chad Mohamed are going...
Back To Cotton
Tommy Horton
Although Mohamed didn't plant cotton last year, he still has vivid memories of the torrential rains that hit Mississippi during the fall. That weather event affected nearly every farmer in the upper and lower Delta.
Another major concern is where he will gin his cotton in the fall. Because of gin consolidations, it's unclear right now what gin in Humphreys County will take his crop.
"I know this much for sure," he says with a laugh. "When folks find out that you're growing cotton for the first time in several years, the phone starts ringing a lot."
Mohamed also takes an active interest in how he markets his cotton. This year, he has already booked 75 percent of his cotton and is marketing the rest through Staplcotn.
