Cotton in Rutherford County Boosts Local Farmers Profits
Rutherford County farmers continue to rely on cotton as the leading cash crop with over half the land devoted to its cultivation. Last year the county's cotton brought in more than $2,000,000, aided by ideal land and climate, a weed-free southern foothill belt, and superior cotton quality. Yield averages exceeded state levels, with notable growers like H. L. Moore, Bynum Hamrick, and George Blanton achieving high per-acre outputs. Local mills Cliffside and Alexander are now buying home grown cotton, improving profits by reducing freight and middleman costs while asserting superior staple quality. This piece is part of a Rutherford farming series by The Doggett Motor Company.
