Cotton season never comes without a hitch and 2012 is no different for Big Creek Gin, Lyon, Miss., where 24 hours of steady rain slowed down movement in the gin yard. Manager George Gammill says Big Creek Gin will process about 16,000 bales for 2012 and he hopes to be finished close to the first week of November.

As a Georgia farmer I am a subscriber to the Southeast Farm Press. I just want you to know how much I enjoy the regular galleries that you publish. I also especially enjoy the stories you do on indivduals and their farming operations. I look forward to checking my inbox to see what the latest is from the Delta Farm Press. Is there anything that I am missing by not subscribing to the print edition? I REALLY enjoy the two items mentioned above and do not want to miss anything that is availalbe to me. I save all of the galleries and the stories on individuals and go back and read through them from time to time. Thank you so much for the magnificent insight into Delta agriculture. I have always been fascinated with the culture and agriculture of the Delta and you give "outsiders" terrific insight into what is happening there. Thank you very much!!

Hi Eddie. Thank you very much for your comments. Delta FP is blessed with excellent writers and a razor-sharp managing editor, but its true strength is its focus — American farmers like yourself. Thanks again Eddie, Chris
I ditto what Eddie has said. These pics provide some real insight into how cotton "gets to the market." I am not a farmer, but pictures like this grab my attention.
