Record Yields In SW Ark.?
Tommy Horton
It might not rank as the most significant breakthrough in cotton production. But it comes pretty close. When 78-year-old Arkansas producer Andrew Whisenhunt prepares to harvest a crop this year that may average four to five bales per acre, everyone will take notice.
Why?
Probably because you don't normally associate such high yields with any location in the Mid-South – and especially in an area in the extreme southwest corner of Arkansas near the small town of Bradley.
Where is Bradley? It's about 10 miles from Texas and even closer to Louisiana. It's an area that once had 10,000 cotton acres. Today that acreage has dropped to 3,000 acres.
