Texas Couple’s Passion for Cotton Earns BASF Catalog Cover
September 6, 2020 Pride and passion for their farm inspired Bobbi Pratt to photograph fields of cotton, wheat and sunflowers and commission paintings for her home’s “agriculture wall.”
This same passion inspired Pratt to enter a BASF cotton creativity contest, where their cotton field painting – created by artist J.A. Carondeleigh, an oil painter from North Carolina – was selected for the cover of the 2021 BASF Cotton Variety Catalog.
Bobbi Pratt commissioned artist J.A. Carondeleigh to create this oil painting, based on an original photograph taken in one of her cotton fields. The image has been selected as the cover art for the 2021 BASF Cotton Variety Catalog.
“Cotton is the greatest natural fiber, it’s sustainable and is a fabric for many purposes,” Pratt said. “We’re both big cotton advocates.”
Bobbi and her husband, Kerry, both grew up on Texas cotton farms. Knit together by a love of the agriculture industry, both are enthusiastic supporters of cotton fabric. “It’s visible in our clothing choices. We only buy pure or primarily cotton clothes,” she said.
Addison, Kerry and Bobbi Pratt
The Pratts grow FiberMax cotton seed on their farm near Floydada, TX. They have been married for 25 years and are graduates of Texas Tech, where their daughter Addison currently studies history and political science.
BASF sent Pratt and family a FiberMax cotton seed care package, including a blanket, golf gear, towels and tote bag.
The 2021 BASF Cotton Variety Catalog will be released soon.
