Sam E. Angel II believes the recent rise in cotton futures will help the cotton acres in the Southeast Arkansas remain near or slightly above the level they had in 2020.
Sammy Angel is the incoming president of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association for 2021-22.
Cotton gins are a major business in most of their rural communities. They employ dozens of fulltime and seasonal workers, and they put money into the local economy in many other ways. Often, their contributions go above and beyond those.
