'All In The Family'

"We were looking at not planting 25 to 30 percent of our land because we didn't have the water," says Dennis. "But the El Niño systems took care of that problem. Our land is a bit swampy because it's so wet, but I'm not complaining."
The pumps will be recharged from snow melt in the mountains, and the V.I.P farm will start the season with excellent soil moisture conditions.
As the Palmers continue to implement efficient farming practices in their operation – which is comprised of 150 cotton fields spread across 25 miles in the Gila Valley – they have recently upgraded to 12-row equipment, including new harvesting equipment, which consists of two six-row John Deere cotton pickers, four module builders and two boll buggies.
It is a major investment, but Dennis says it will pay dividends by allowing harvest to move along quicker in the fall.
