I have not been around farms in the Mississippi Delta much in the last 25 years or so. I live in north Georgia. This week I visited a friend who farms deep in the Delta for the first time in many years. He is growing mostly all corn with a few soy beans. His farm has been in his family for 103 years and he said that this is the first time in 103 years that there has not been any cotton growing on the place. Lots of other farmers in the area are also going to mostly corn whereas 20 years ago it would have been mostly cotton, with soybeans, and rice, with very little corn to be found. No cotton on a Mississippi Delta plantation is hard to believe.

There's still quite a bit of cotton in eastern Arkansas and Missouri bootheel. Cotton now is above $.50 a pound but with a new cottonpicker almost 1/2 million I imagine it's hard to pay for.

Yep back when I lived in Mississippi all you ever saw was cotton and more cotton. But I can say I had some fun times in cotton fields me and my girl friend that is. LOL. Haven't been in Mississippi since 1974 when I left to go into the navy
