It is with profound sadness that we mark the passing of a true leader in the cotton industry. Hollis Isbell of Tuscumbia, AL was one of those true southern gentlemen and leader for the cotton industry in our region. Mr. “H” as many people knew him, held just about every position in the leadership of Southern Cotton Growers and was instrumental in the shepherding of Southern Southeastern as we transitioned in the mid-90’s to the organization we are today.

Mr. Isbell was involved in policy development and work with all aspects of cotton farming up to his retirement several years ago turning the operation over to his sons. Hollis Isbell passed on April 10. He was 92.

On a personal note, Hollis was President of Southern Cotton Growers when I was hired. The Presidents of both Southern Cotton Growers and Southeastern Cotton Ginners were involved in my selection. I will be forever in Mr. H’s debt for giving me a chance. He will be missed. Our sincerest condolences to the Isbell family.
