Cotton Farming - Editor's Note

Two important Mid-South cotton field days are scheduled this month. The 9th annual Judd Hill Field Day is set for Thursday, Aug. 28, at the Judd Hill Plantation near Trumann, Ark.

Meanwhile, the Delta Research and Extension Center's Cotton Field Day will be conducted on Wednesday, Aug. 13, in Stoneville, Miss.

The two events traditionally attract some of the largest crowds of the summer. Both field days will again offer a wide array of information on topics important to cotton production.

Rep. Marion Berry (D-Ark.) will be the main speaker at the Judd Hill event. Berry, one of the most influential farm state congressmen in Washington, will give an update on legislative events which affect cotton and all of agriculture.

The Judd Hill event will begin at 8 a.m. with registration and tours starting at 9 a.m. Included on the tours will be presentations on drip irrigation, infrared imagery, no-till, Temik sidedress and variety trial updates on Roundup Ready Flex and Liberty Link.

Cotton Incorporated representatives also will give an update on research and promotion activities. In addition to field tours, equipment demonstrations will continue all day.

The Judd Hill Plantation consists of 4,000 acres completely devoted to cotton production. Bill Baker and Jim Moon, two producers in the Trumann area, are responsible for farming the land each year, including the various test plots used during the field day.
