West Texas Tough Varieties

Created for West Texas

High elevation. Low water tables. Limited rainfall. The threat of sandstorms. To succeed in West Texas, you have to be resilient, resourceful, hardworking and performance-driven. That’s what it means to be West Texas Tough.


Bred for West Texas

We put our cotton to the test in the very soil it was bred for through our premier testing and commercialization program. This process ensures the seed we develop can perform in all of West Texas’ unique growing conditions.

Breeding and Testing in the Heart of West Texas

Our premier breeding facility in Lubbock, Texas, is the only manufacturing plant of its kind in West Texas and sits on the largest cotton patch in the U.S. This research facility houses multiple programs focused on improving genetic performance and is a central point for the breeding and testing programs in the High Plains region.
