It all starts here 9



Note: I'll be out of the office Wed-Fri. I'm traipsing off to Yale to give my talk on Thursday.



It's getting to be that time again. Spring. Time to plant the cotton. If you recall from the last two years running, I follow the cotton crop from the field that lies halfway between my office and the house. As I was driving by yesterday, I saw the field was recently plowed. What's more, it was being irrigated.





If you know anything about agriculture, you know that if a field is being irrigated, Mr. Farmer is near by. While watering is largely a passive activity, it requires minding. So, I looked around to see if I could finally score an interview with my local cotton farmer. As luck would have it, there were two.
