Webb brings first cotton bloom of season to Americus area
Webb, a Sumter County farmer, reports the first Georgia bloom of the season near Americus. He grew Wannamaker Big Boll cotton on 100 acres planted March 19 without poisons, preferring hand harvesting after trying calcium arsenate last year. He says his knee high field, in rolling sand, is the best within fifty miles, despite recent drought concerns and heavy moisture elsewhere in Sumter County.
