Looking Back On An Unusual Season
Tommy Horton
We've heard the phrase so many times that it hardly bears repeating. It's one of the all-time familiar statements we heard from our parents and grandparents while we were growing up. You've heard it forever, and it goes like this: "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it."
OK, we've said it again.
As crazy as it sounds, it's too bad somebody couldn't have waved a magic wand or chased the storm clouds away and improved the weather in several parts of the Cotton Belt in 2009.
But we're not here to recap ancient history. Most farmers will tell you that there's always a weather problem somewhere every year. And that is so true. Having said that, we also know that many veteran farmers who have been planting cotton for 40 or 50 years claim they haven't seen anything in recent memory to compare with what they saw this year.
