Record Yields In SW Ark.?
Tommy Horton
Best Kept Secret In Arkansas
To the casual observer, it might not seem possible that such a record-breaking yield performance could occur in what Whisenhunt refers to as "the forgotten part of Arkansas." But Joe Vestal, Extension county agent in Lewisville, Ark., has known Whisenhunt for 30 years and can vouch for his expertise as a cotton producer.
"Andrew farms some of the best land you can possibly imagine," he says. "I can assure you this isn't a one-year situation. He consistently grows this kind of cotton every year. He's willing to try anything, and he's incredibly innovative."
As for the performance of DP 164 B2RF, it doesn't surprise Dave Albers, Monsanto's cotton germplasm technology lead. He hasn't ever seen a Mid-South farm produce such high yields but he's pleasantly surprised that it's occurring in southwest Arkansas.
