A San Benito family has achieved a notable milestone in the agricultural sector. They have harvested the first cotton bale of the year in the United States. The family in question operates a business called Brown Tract Land & Sugar.

The cotton picked by the family weighed 3,480 pounds and was field cotton. This cotton will be processed into a bale once the cotton gins are operational. Further information about this achievement can be found through ValleyCentral, the local news source that reported on the story.
