STAR Fellow helps Arizona farmers grow cotton more safely
Anyone who has purchased fine cotton clothing or bed linens will recognize Pima as a synonym for quality. Pima cotton, one of the finest cottons grown in the United States, is named for Pima County, AZ, where it was developed in the early 1900s. Dave Crowder, an EPA STAR Fellow at the University of Arizona in Pima County, is working to ensure quality cotton continues to grow in Arizona while helping protect the environment.
