Bayer CropScience and FiberMax® cotton seed celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the FiberMax One Ton Club™ and honored 183 growers for producing one-ton yields in 2014, according to Bayer CropScience.
Willem and Ruth Hartman, first-year One Ton Club members from Pampa, Texas, won the One Ton Club truck.
The Hartmans averaged 2,321 pounds per acre on 54 acres, using FM 2011GT, with a USDA loan value of 57.23 cents.
Bayer CropScience brought FiberMax cotton seed to the West Texas market in 1998 and revolutionized cotton production on the High Plains. The region once known for producing lower yields and quality began producing some of the highest yields and best quality in the United States.
