If you think cotton is growing everywhere in Bulloch County, you would be right. This year is turning into a record setting one for local farmers who have planted more than 52,000 acres in cotton this season. "Bulloch County has more acreage in cotton than any of the surrounding counties by far," said Gay Harris, director of the USDA Farm Service Agency in Bulloch County.
