'All In The Family'
Tommy Horton
Situated nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, this is a farm that can be deceiving at first glance. It might have a beautiful backdrop with snow-capped mountains and ideal temperatures for producing cotton. However, the challenges are quite real.
Whether it is torrential rains, water shortages, extreme heat, high input costs, diverse soil profiles or even labor shortages, there are plenty of problems awaiting farmers in this area.
Conversely, as any member of the Palmer family can attest, it's also very rewarding when everything works out as planned, and a three- to four-bale cotton crop is harvested. That is what happened in 2009.
