BASF recognizes Cotton Marketer of the Year at Beltwide Cotton Conferences

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, January 10, 2023 — BASF is proud to sponsor the prestigious Cotton Marketer of the Year award, given annually at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences in Fort Worth, Texas. The Joseph J. O’Neill Cotton Marketer of the Year award presented by ICE Futures (formerly the New York Cotton Exchange) and BASF dates back to 1991. This year’s recipient is Jason Moss of Pringle Family Farms in Pringle, Texas.

Jason Moss is a second-generation farmer who has been farming for as long as he can remember. Pringle Family Farms in Pringle, Texas, is 8,000 acres of cotton, corn, wheat and sorghum.

“Jason is a successful grower and businessman who understands the importance of not only being knowledgeable about the market, but being knowledgeable about his crops,” said Darren Patton, BASF Agricultural Solutions Senior Advisor. “Jason’s understanding of all aspects of his business and his emphasis on cotton quality makes him a very worthy recipient of this year’s Cotton Marketer of the Year award.”

Moss runs Pringle Family Farms with his business partner, Chris Bogner, and also farms in his home state of Illinois. Moss was recognized for this award during the Cotton Economic Outlook Symposium as part of the Beltwide Cotton Conferences.
