@harderjm @HarmsStephen17 @CottonInc @OAcotton @NCottonCouncil I agree totally. Cotton is losing market share to synthetics. I'm like you, I don't understand marketing at all, but we are losing the battle. But I also know things cycle around, and when things look the worst or the best, they don't last.

@HarmsStephen17 @harderjm @CottonInc @OAcotton @NCottonCouncil @CottonInc is who does the advertising, and it is not geared to us as farmers, it is geared toward people that pay more for their clothes than we do!

@HarmsStephen17 @harderjm @CottonInc @OAcotton We would all rather sell our crops for a fair price, however, I've been around long enough to know that sometimes the market is good, but often times it is below the cost of production, hence the need for a good Farm Bill safety net. The @NCottonCouncil is who lobbies for that.

@harderjm @CottonInc @OAcotton I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way and decided to get involved so I would know and have input. Taking a @CottonInc tour is a great way to learn. Contact Shelley Heinrich or your gin and they can get you on a tour. It's our money, and we should know how it's spent.

@CompetitiveAg I also think it is important to not just look at budgets per crop, but look at profitability for an entire farm. This will show where to apply limited water and also the benefits of crop rotation.

[Barry Evans @evans_barry]

@CompetitiveAg So true, but it is hard to adapt. So many farmers want to talk about their irrigated, but few want to discuss dryland.

[Barry Evans @evans_barry]

@PlainsPestMgmt Appreciate all your work!

[Barry Evans @evans_barry]

@CompetitiveAg Cotton definitely needs some sun. It looks ok so far, but a few more days of this and it won't. But, I have seen cotton go through some pretty tough weather and look ugly for a while and end up ok. Time will tell.

@jayleeson Another quote from Speaker Laney: 'You R’pub’kins thought it was funny when they came after me. How 'bout when they're coming after you?'

@jrichburg95 Your cost and simple to operate will look pretty smart when prices get cheap!

[Barry Evans @evans_barry]

@eric_wanjura I am so sorry to hear this. I pray for the peace that passes all understanding for you and your family.

[Barry Evans @evans_barry]

@jrichburg95 Yes. If you have enough water, you can overcome it. I'm not in that situation.😏

[Barry Evans @evans_barry]

@jrichburg95 In my experience, it hurts the yield of the following crop. I've also had bindweed get a start when outside hay is fed.

@markwms51 Congratulations! Well deserved!

[Barry Evans @evans_barry]

@dale_wilhelm Cotton looks good!

[Barry Evans @evans_barry]

@sverett @markwms51 I thought my irrigated was looking good, but nothing like that!
