Bt Cotton Survey and Flood Damage

Howdy,

  I hope everyone is doing well after the hurricane. Since the season has pretty well wrapped up, I put together a survey for the crop consultants and farmers to gather a little more information on the bollworm situation this past year. If you get a chance, I'd appreciate your input. The survey gathers data anonymously, so the only info I'll be able to see is the info you give me.


  For those of you not in the areas affected by the hurricane, I attached a few pictures from some of the flood damaged areas to give you an idea of what we've been dealing with. I'm just glad that the pictures don't include the smell, I wouldn't want to share that with anybody. The pictures below were taken in multiple locations near the Colorado River.

  As always, feel free to give me a call or send me an email if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Kate Harrell
