Gregg Mayberry with 4.M Farms was again recognized for hard-earned yields as part of BASF’s Stoneville® Legacy Club™.
For the fifth year, the Legacy Club celebrated cotton growers like Mayberry who, despite unprecedented times, proved their ability to grow high-quality, high-yielding Stoneville cotton.
Forty growers, including 4.M Farms, earned memberships to the Legacy Club and were honored for harvest yields in the top 10% of their states, according to a press release from Stoneville. 4.M Farms qualified in the irrigated division, harvesting 1,676 pounds of Stoneville cotton per acre.
“In a year unlike any other, our growers have truly demonstrated what it means to be ‘Stoneville Strong,’” said Rachel Walters, cottonseed marketing manager at BASF. “Their resiliency and commitment to quality, combined with Stoneville’s modern germplasm, custom varieties and extensive trait choices resulted in outstanding yield performance. As always, we are grateful for the opportunity to partner with these growers and recognize their accomplishments.”
To qualify for the Stoneville Legacy Club, growers must have planted 100% Stoneville cotton seed on at least 20 qualifying acres from January 1-December 31, 2020.
