Texas Producer Stays Faithful To Cotton
The debilitating drought that clung to central and south Texas the last several years caused many producers to abandon cotton production. Those who stayed loyal to the crop have had to find ways to remain profitable, despite the unkind growing conditions. Dean Hansen of El Campo, Texas, is one of those loyalists.
Hansen and his wife, Shana, started the family-owned operation, Two-H Farms, eight years ago. The Hansens literally built Two-H Farms from the ground up. By slowly procuring farm equipment at local auctions and working full-time as a prison farm manager, Dean Hansen was gradually able to transition into farming.
The reduced cost of buying used equipment and adding rented acreage bit by bit has proven to be a successful strategy for this farming couple.
