PRESIDENT'S REPORT: Keith Mixon
"Even with the losses in south Texas, I think overall the cotton crop turned out bigger than we initially thought," says Mixon. "Because of the spotty rains we had in the High Plains, it was a mixed bag. But, again, it could've been worse and was better than we anticipated."
The good news, according to Mixon, is that soil moisture levels across Texas are much improved this year – especially in the southern part of the state, which desperately needed pre-season rainfall.
Another key accomplishment during Mixon's year as president occurred in the area of labor issues. TCGA won a favorable ruling with the Labor Department over how the overtime exemption is supposed to be interpreted. After TCGA hired noted labor attorney Ann Margaret Pointer, the organization was able to present an impressive case.
