Lessons from a No-Till Cotton Farmer
Barry Evans, a Swisher County, Texas, farmer, has learned to embrace the challenging environment in his region of Texas and find success with his cotton operation. Evans is a fourth-generation farmer and due to the declining Ogallala Aquifer, converted all of his farms to no-till in 1996.
