Simpsons named 2001 Terry County Farm Family of the Year
About 150 residents joined the 46th Terry County Farm Tour as Randy Simpson Family was named Farm Family of the Year and Thomas Hicksen was named Young Farmer of the Year. The event featured discussions on cotton and peanuts by Extension agronomists and highlighted Simpson’s irrigation practices, limited tillage, Roundup Ready crops, and water conservation efforts. Hicksen described his 1989 onward farming across 3,700 acres with terraces, CRP grass, and a rotation plan, while Brownfield Harvest Festival Queen candidates attended the tour.
