📸 Let’s Show Off That Leland Cotton!
Photo Contest: Cotton Board’s 2026 Industry Calendar

Cotton fields aren’t just crops in the Delta—they’re part of our landscape, our economy, and our way of life. Now, Leland photographers (yes, that includes students, farmers, and cotton fans) have a chance to show the country what the Delta looks like in full bloom.

The Cotton Board is holding a photo contest for its 2026 Industry Calendar, and they’re looking for striking images of cotton at any stage—from planting to harvest.

Whether you snap it at sunrise in Stoneville or from the edge of Highway 82, this is your shot to show off Leland’s fields, light, and legacy.

When Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about life on the American frontier, she described snowstorms, schoolhouse brawls, and butter churns, but not the stillbirth she experienced or the miscarriage that followed.
