Father-Son Approach Works For Taylor Farm

摘要

It is a scene repeated on cotton farms across the country. Many sons and daughters who grow up in rural surroundings often move away from home and pursue another career - far away from their childhood memories. Others move away but return to work withtheir fathers in a successful partnership. Such is the environment surrounding Buckeye Farms in Como, Miss. Sledge Taylor and his son David now work together in a farming and ginning operation that includes cotton, corn, soybeans, wheat and cattle. Sixgenerations of Taylors have worked this rich farmland that spreads from the creek bottoms of north central Mississippi to the eastern edge of the Delta.
