Aycock is increasing

Mississippi Farmers Brooks Aycock and Chad Mohamed are going...

Back To Cotton

Tommy Horton

Aycock is increasing his cotton acreage from 1,450 acres to 1,860 acres this year. His other crops include 250 acres of soybeans and 100 acres of corn. He believes the time was right to make such a commitment to cotton because of attractive prices and excellent soil moisture. He also knows that cotton and corn are nearly perfect in a rotation.

Even though Aycock followed the market and planted corn and soybeans in a big way during the past three years, his loyalty to cotton has never wavered.

From a profit standpoint, there is money to be made in cotton this year. The other motivating factor to be considered is the need to protect existing industry infrastructure throughout Mississippi.
