Mohamed had always wanted to be a farmer

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

Back To Cotton

Tommy Horton

Mohamed had always wanted to be a farmer and toyed with the idea of pursuing another career after earning a bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Mississippi. But farming eventually won out.

He knows the importance of having a diverse crop mix on all of his acreage, and this year he'll have 500 acres of cotton, 700 acres of corn, 1,300 acres of soybeans and 1,250 acres of rice.

"This just seemed like a great opportunity to get back into cotton," says Mohamed.

"Naturally, there is some apprehension because I've been away from cotton for three years. But my cotton acreage is on some excellent silty loam soil, and I think we have a chance for good yields and quality."
