COKER 200 
STRAIN 2 
Determining the staple length on an 
outstanding row of Coker 200 Strain 2 
cotton. This variety, because of its small 
stalk, small leaf and extra early ma- 
turity, is suited for planting on the 
heavier types of cotton soil.

Tagging a selected cotton plant. Each 
year we select between 40 and 50,000 plants 
—foundation material for our cotton breed- 
ing program. 
Photo on left shows one of our breeders 
inspecting breeding selections in our hybrid 
eorn breeding program. Hybrid corn is one 
of the new-comers to our rapidly expanding 
breeding program. This work was begun 
by us on a small scale in 1989 at the request 
of a number of Southern Agricultural 
leaders and many of our other loyal friends 
throughout the South. 
Photo below shows a portion of our pure- 
bred Guernsey breeding plant. From a mod- 
est start with a few very carefully selected 
foundation cows and a bull of Langwater 
and Golden Secret breeding, we have de- 
veloped one of the finest Guernsey herds 
in the South. With the rapid increase in 
acreage devoted to grain and grazing crops 
and the need for a profitable use for these 
crops, the dairy industry of the South 
should show a steady growth and profitable 
return.
