Cotton County Farm Boys


“Beef” magazine reported that the value of all cattle sold in Cotton County Oklahoma in 2007 was $46,411,000 on 338 farms.

For the information of all those former Cotton County farm boys who have wondered if they should have stayed on the farm: I returned to the farm and once figured that I annually raised wheat and beef sufficient to feed 4000 people for a year. I would be pleased to have $10 from each person fed. Over 30 years I never made that much. Did receive lots of exercise, fresh air, sunshine, wide open spaces and pleasant association with good people.
