(102,448 posts)on their website. So, I'd say no. They are located in Alabama, which, like Georgia is known for the red clay soil, so that probably explains it. I don't know too many RW a'holes who care about environmentally sustainable practices, so again, I guess no.
On edit, yup:

GROWN IN ALABAMA
Situated at the foot of Bankhead National Forest, our farm has been home to the Yeager family for three generations. From the very beginning, it has been where we each, in turn, have learned the value of hard work and the importance of family. And its certainly hard work farming our renowned red soil. It indelibly tints everything it touches and turns to thick clay after a good rain. Growing here means being resilient and hearty. Its true of our crops, and its true of our children.
Owned And Operated By Mark Yeager Since 1983, It Was His Vision And Ambition That Shaped It Into A Premier Source Of North Alabama Cotton.
In 1994, Mark Yeager built his own cotton gin, a huge undertaking that gave our family strict control over the quality of our cotton fibers. He has since spent years implementing sustainable farming practices across our thousands of acres of land until our farm was able to produce an unrivaled crop with minimal impact to the surrounding environment.
