Cotton report OT but kinda funny

I have a long time farmer friend here in west Tn. that raises a few thousand bales of cotton every year. We had a real cool and damp spring here and cotton planting was delayed a good many days. I went out to the farm to see him the other day and I asked him how his cotton was doing and his response was " It looks real good as long as you don't look at the calendar" Thats the way it is here but in a normal year it would be blooming by the 4th of July but its a good two weeks from that now. He has quit drinking but he has not lost his sense of humor. Great guy
