It Takes Flexibility To Farm In West Texas
Tommy Horton
This third generation cotton producer farms with his father (Randy), two uncles (Mike and Andy), two cousins (Brady and Eric) and his grandfather (Wayne) in an operation encompassing between 8,000 and 10,000 acres.
If a farming practice exists that can help deliver yields and quality in a cost-effective manner, the Rainwater farm is probably implementing it this year. As some observers like to say, this group of farmers is "way ahead of the curve."
"If we can dodge the hail early in the season and have a warm fall, we can produce some great cotton," says Matthew. "We deal with all kinds of weather situations here in what I call 'hail alley.'"
