Durnell ruling is a win for farmers and innovation.
Predatory litigation and third-party litigation funding can turn the legal process into a business model. It can stifle innovation and ultimately deprive farmers of the tools they need to combat pests and produce food and fiber
🚨 Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins just sounded the alarm
“If we continue to import a lot of our food supply, if we keep losing these farmers and ranchers… we will lose freedom as we know it.”
Bayer proudly supports the National Cotton Council’s Plant Not Plastic campaign.
Cotton is a renewable fiber that biodegrades naturally, standing out as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers. By choosing cotton, you support growers and the entire agricultural community.
My advice to everyone on a Friday, if you find yourself on an @AmericanAir flight, make sure you get a flight attendant like Derek Carrillo!! If he doesn’t make your day, then the problem is you!!
A little perspective. Posted this on my Facebook page and it got a good deal of interaction so thought I might do the same here on the Twitter.
First day of Year 31 at McCleskey Cotton Company, ironically on World Cotton Day.
Posted this picture on my Instagram story and a buddy messaged “How many T-shirts in that?” So that is about 1,200 T-shirts. And that’s 1,200 100% cotton shirts. So the popular blends these days, closer to 1,800 shirts. Grower receives about $325 for that bale. Some T-shirts retail these days for $25-$30.
$25,000 worth of shirts and the grower gets $325.
So, on World Cotton Day, please consider buying a Cotton shirt instead of a Plastic one. Not only is it more healthy for you and the environment, it might make Year 32 a little more promising than Year 31 for our employees and customers.
The #apparel industry leaks 8.3M metric tons of plastic yearly—equal to 820 Eiffel Towers, 23 Empire State Buildings, or 9 Golden Gate Bridges. Learn more about this global first research & our #sustainable solutions to #CombatPlasticLeakage: https://t.co/GJJkc5BF6P
Congratulations to Ag Council past-President & Fmr Council Chairman Larry McClendon of Marianna who was recognized by the @NCottonCouncil with the Harry S. Baker award for his extraordinary service, leadership and dedication to the U.S. cotton industry 🇺🇸
@NCottonCouncil welcomes incoming Chairman Patrick Johnson a producer from Tunica, Mississippi. It’s great to see a producer from the MidSouth take the helm at this critical juncture for the 🇺🇸 crop farmers & ag industry. We thank Joe Nicosia for his service as Chairman.
Thank you Chairman @JohnBoozman for allowing these two Arkansas farmers share their stories and those of their fellow farmers with the Senate Agriculture Committee (@SenateAgGOP @SenateAgDems). 🇺🇸
Arkansas farmer Nathan Reed shares the realities farm families are experiencing. Congress must help families like his by passing a five-year #farmbill so he doesn't have to answer the hard questions facing these hardworking Americans. #ExpertsintheirField

So lucky to have a governor that understands the current crisis in agriculture. Hopefully Mrs. Rollins will have a quick confirmation and can get to work helping to fix the mess American Agriculture is in.
America has lost approximately 150,000 farms and 25,000 farmers over the past few years. We can’t afford to lose any more.
That’s why we need emergency economic assistance for farmers and a one-year farm extension of the Farm Bill for our farmers before the end of the year.
