'All In The Family'
Tommy Horton
As with other aspects of the Palmer operation, decisions about what varieties to grow is a group decision. The farm doesn't need to hire a consultant because Verle has the necessary years of experience to know what kind of recommendations to make.
Dennis says most of the Gila River Valley is planted to Deltapine varieties, and for many years 80 percent of the valley's cotton was planted to single gene DP 455 BR. Since that variety has been phased out, the Palmers will experiment this year with six to eight Deltapine varieties, and they hope to find one that performs similar to DP 455 BR.
"That was a wonderful variety," he says. "It averaged about 42 percent turnout at the gin," he says. "I hope we find another one like it."
