Jimmy has witnessed major improvements in cotton farming techniques over the last 40 years. Cotton farming today is much more efficient, and farmers use technology to use exactly the amount of water, fertilizer, and pesticides needed for the crop to succeed. This minimizes waste and cuts unnecessary costs. As Jimmy puts it, “Technology has made us better stewards of the land.”
