By almost any measure – the weather, the attendance, the enthusiasm, the research information provided and the evening meal – the 2012 Cotton Field Day was a hit, with nearly 300 in attendance. Some sort of extra effort awards should go to Art Bradley (Edgecombe County Extension), the Upper Coastal Plain Research Station personnel, and BB Griffin and David Parrish of the NC Cotton Producers Association for insuring that this field day well-orchestrated and productive.
It takes the efforts of everyone; especially our Edgecombe Extension Center staff (Lesa Walton, Tanya Heath, and Bob Filbrun), cooperation with the Upper Coastal Plain Research Station staff (everyone is always willing to give us a hand!), other Extension Agents, and NC Cotton Producers Association. We’re glad to finally have a great season to really showcase the tremendous efforts of the specialists in conducting the research that continues to improve cotton production and profitability!
