We have so many things to deal

It Takes Flexibility To Farm In West Texas

Tommy Horton

"We have so many things to deal with here that it's critical that we do everything possible to give the cotton a chance to mature out during the season," says Matthew. "Just last week we were dodging some 60 mile-per-hour winds, and that really slowed down our planting."

Wild Texas Weather

So far, the weather has been more than unpredictable this year. It has actually been downright strange. Besides the usual early season hailstorms and high winds, this part of the High Plains had 90-degree temperatures during the last week of April and the first week of May.

Even Matthew hasn't seen that kind of early season weather.
