Blake Fennell was recently recognized for achieving exceptional cotton yields as part of the FiberMax® One Ton Club™ for the 2020 growing season. For 16 years, the FiberMax One Ton Club has recognized cotton growers who produce a minimum of 2,000 pounds of ginned cotton per acre on a minimum of 20 acres planted to FiberMax cotton seed. This is Fennell’s fourth year in the club.
“There is a unique quality of the One Ton Club member that makes this group of cotton growers so special: toughness,” said Rachel Walters, Cottonseed Marketing Manager at BASF. “No matter what’s happening in the world or on their farms, they take challenges head on and achieve impressive results. It’s a characteristic we strive to emulate with our FiberMax cotton seed, too – the ability to achieve superior fiber quality and high yield potential even in the toughest conditions.”
