Looking Ahead
Nothing Seems To Discourage Larry McClendon These Days
Tommy Horton
Reflecting On The Past
Sitting in his second-floor office at the McClendon-Mann-Felton Gin Co., in Marianna, Ark., he talks about all of those experiences now with appreciation and knows that he's a better farmer and ginner for having gone through them.
Perhaps nothing was more difficult than what he dealt with during the fall of 2009. That crop year, according to McClendon, was the most difficult experience of his farming career. He lost about 30 percent of his production, and that carried over to a dropoff at the gin where 82,000 bales were handled – the lowest output since 2001.
But, like any good farmer today, McClendon says he learned from the experience and is extremely optimistic about the 2010 crop season.
