On National Agriculture Day I’m in our Nation’s Capitol advocating for Cotton! #cotton

@SenKatieBritt Thank you Senator Britt!

On National Agriculture Day, I’m proud to celebrate the hardworking farmers, cattlemen, and families who keep Alabama and America running. The Working Families Tax Cuts Act delivered real results for Alabama agriculture—strengthening our farm safety net, investing in research, expanding market access, and protecting family farms for generations to come.

We just do a poor job of marketing our product and I suck at selling stuff. Sitting at the bar, guy asks “What do you do?” Next thing you know, you’re telling ‘em how a bale of cotton that a farmer will get $350 for will make $30000 worth of t shirts and folks will look at you like you have two heads. Suddenly all the bar patrons and bartenders are examining their labels. It ain’t rocket science.

@Bean_Cotton @loucottonballs @BrianTycangco Amen!

@loucottonballs @BrianTycangco If only there were natural fibers you could make clothes from….

Spoke with some friends in the plastics business. They are just about out of raw materials and cannot find new supplies as China restricts exports of petroleum-related downstream products. This is going to get much worse before it gets better.

Agriculture is the backbone of Alabama and the heart of our country. Thank you to all the farmers and producers who drive our economy, feed our families, and fuel our communities.

I know nobody cares right now and rightfully so but I’m just gonna say Dec 26 Cotton has a sneaky bid underneath it. Not enough to pay off enough in bales to the gin this year but who knows, may be big for those that do bring some.

Good morning

In 1976, Joe Cocker performed as SNL's musical guest but surprised the live audience when John Belushi came out to duet as his famous SNL impersonation of him 🔥😂 so good

Now that everyone here thinks they are an expert on glyphosate, I want to add some context to the noise. Glyphosate is a molecule. It has been studied for 50 years. Hundreds of regulatory reviews. Tens of thousands of pages of data. Toxicology, residue studies, epidemiology, environmental fate. You don’t have to “trust Monsanto.” You can read assessments from: 🇺🇸 EPA 🇪🇺 EFSA 🇯🇵 PMDA 🇨🇦 Health Canada Here’s what gets lost in the shouting: Hazard ≠ Risk. Risk = Hazard × Exposure. Real-world dietary exposure? Measured in micrograms. Hundreds of times below conservative safety limits. That’s risk assessment. And no - IARC saying “probably carcinogenic” does not mean “causes cancer at real-world exposure.” It means “can under some conditions.” Same category as: • Red meat. • Night shift work. • Very hot beverages. Context matters. If you think farmers spray poison because they enjoy it, you’ve never met a farmer. They use tools. Tools are evaluated. If they don’t work, they’re dropped. If they aren’t safe under regulation, they’re not approved. The claim that we are all being secretly poisoned? That collapses under dose-response curves and biomonitoring data. Emotion spreads faster than toxicology. But toxicology still wins. If you care about food, health, and the environment, learn the difference between hazard and risk. It will change how you see almost every chemical debate online.

Tuning into Tombstone and seeing Doc and Johnny Ringo in a duel is a definite good start to the day

Life isn’t complete until your grandbaby does your nails!

Professional Football absolutely sucks. College Football is headed that way too, depressing it is. Carried my granddaughter bowling and had a great time! Life is good, I’ll stick with the positives!

Truth

We were honored to have Congressman Barry Moore and his wife Heather visit us. Congressman Moore is great friend and has been our champion for Cotton and agriculture! He will do great things for Alabama and our Country in the US Senate! Please vote for #BarryMoore!

I know it means nothing to anyone but my Grandmother who helped raise me taught me to be nice when it wasn’t nice. Be a Man “and only be mean when you have to be” I will never forget her words, God be with us if we don’t.

@crappiedoc Been busting them in the deep creeks. About have a feast tonight!

Daughter and I smacked a few. Didn’t say they were all big. A few dandies and some babies.

Beautiful morning in Ft Lauderdale

Some days are diamonds and some are dust… #noinjuries #toast #melted

Life is good!
