Despite the threat of hurricanes, many Louisiana farmers had an excellent crop, thanks to good weather during the growing season.
Heath Herring, first vice president of the Louisiana Cotton and Grain Association and recently elected president whose term begins in February 2021, farms cotton, corn, soybeans and rice. Using technology and conservation practices, Herring helps preserve soil health on his farm in Newellton, Louisiana, in Tensas Parish.
