This is my houses and barns and other farm outbuildings. This was the Smith home place the house is 250 years old. My granddaddy was a big cotton farmer and inventor. He invented a cotton seed that won a gold medal for producing the most yield per acre of any cotton seed in the United States. It was awarded by Farm Journal, I believe. His cotton gin and cotton warehouse are also in the picture. My granddaddy, J.O.M. Smith, died in 1939. My grandmother, Bessie Hardman Smith, and my daddy, Henry O. Smith ran the farm after his death. My grandmother ran it alone while Daddy was in the army during World War II. Even though he could have avoided serving because of a medical issue, he chose to serve. No Dick Cheney or Donal Trump draft avoidance for him. There was a picture of my grandmother and the house in the Atlanta Journal in 1946 with an article about her running the farm while daddy was in the army. Since our marriage in 1969, Jerry Beck has been farming the land. Our two daughters Debra Beck and Cyndi Beck also work on the farm. Cyndi has added greenhouses to the repertoire of products. Debra’s Don, Mason, who is eight has shown a lot of interest and help Jerry. Debra’s Grandson Kace also shows interest and helps.
