Photo: That is me, Joseph, back left, then brother Jack and my son Nick. Niece Kyle Grace, my daughter Lena, nephew Dylan and brother Keith. My Father, Lamar was 90 and my Mother Margret had just turned 92 when this picture was taken at Thanksgiving 2006. My sisters Judy and Jenny and brother Tom were unable to make it home that year. I used a 3 year old photo because my Dad passed away a year later. My parents built a family and farm with love and hard work. Daddy and I are the only farmers in the bunch. We have much to be thankful for.

Farm Description: I am in west central Alabama (the Blackbelt) where I have a 200 hundred acre bean, corn and wheat rotation with a custom spraying and harvest service. I also operate a flexographic ink plant. 12,000 to 15,000 lbs per month. My parents place is in southeast Alabama (the Wiregrass). We have a 700 acre timber operation on the east side of the county. On the home place we have 600 acres, 300 in timber, 40 in hay and 260 in a peanut-cotton rotation. As I said before, we do have much to be thankful for!
