Suggested introduction for cut one:
Cotton and corn rotations are steadily increasing in the Mississippi delta, says Dr. Steve Martin, economist at the delta research extension center. Martin reports the primary catalyst for increased cotton/corn rotations is simply economics.
Suggested introduction for cut two:
With transgenic cotton representing 10.5 million acres of the 2202 crop, Martin knows biotechnology plays an important role in successful rotations.
Suggested introduction for cut three:
Cotton/corn rotations are also good for the soil- a fact that when coupled with yield increases easily explains the explosion in Mississippi corn acres over the past couple of years.
