Three fine friends, uniquely dependent upon on each other … Bates Houck, patriarch for Houck Farms; the John Deere 7660 cotton harvester; and the assuredly “fixed” farm kitty “Lucky” who was not seen in the photograph until after the fact. His sneek-in presence is so true to his behavior and personality. This image is part of a portfolio for the in-progress documentary, “Cotton Tale” which will be released in May of 2014.
