‘Dance With The One That Brung Ya’

'Dance With The One That Brung Ya'
     

The old cowboy saying, "Dance with the one that brung ya'," is all about staying loyal to the person who brought you to the party in the first place. In the figurative sense, "the party" has a positive connotation and usually means "the good place where you are now."

For farmers in the Southwest, a person didn't bring them to the party, but cotton did. And these days, Texas producers are planting a lot of acres to this valued crop and reporting some outstanding yields.

Historically, even though cotton has always been a staple in the Southwest, yield and quality weren't always the best when compared to other cotton-growing regions in the United States. In fact, cotton consultant Donald Kitten in Lubbock, Texas, addressed this topic in the "Cotton Consultant's Corner" column in the November issue of Cotton Farming.
