No water means no cotton on historic farm

Nancy Caywood prays for rain.
For the first time in the 80-year history of her family’s farm, the fields are empty. With no water allotted to them this year, the Caywoods did not plant any cotton.
“We would have planted cotton, corn and alfalfa this year like we do every year,” Caywood said. “But we haven’t had any water since June so we decided not to plant. Usually, the cotton would be growing right now.”
