I attended a luncheon today that honored the 2008 Cotton Grower Achievement Award winner, Van Murphy from Quitman, Georgia. I really enjoyed listening to Murphy's words after accepting his award. He encouraged other growers in attendance to "expect good things" on their cotton farms, and those good things will eventually happen. After listening to him speak, it was evident that Murphy has a lot of excitement and passion for the cotton industry. His recognition of his wife, Julie, children and grandchildren at the luncheon also showed his passion for his Christian faith and family.Murphy is the executive manager of BCT Gin Co., Inc., a business he's seen expand from a 10,000-bale gin to a 126,000-bale gin since 1983 and through trying times in the cotton industry. The Cotton Grower featured Murphy in its January 2009 issue.
A hearty congratulations to him on this achievement!
