Award-winning agriculture photographer Brittney Turner, whose photographs have been featured on the Delta Farm Press website (http://bit.ly/BTurnerDFP), has launched another ag-related enterprise — Bushels & Bales, an agricultural clothing and T-shirt line.

“All of the products begin in the field, from the 100 percent U.S.-grown Pima cotton to the inspiration for the designs and artwork,” says Turner.

“There is an enormous amount of love, worry, stress, sweat and labor that goes into making a crop each year which ends with the harvest of bushels and bales — the inspiration for the brand name, Bushels & Bales.”

Turner, who spends most of the year alongside farmers documenting the hard work they do each day, uses her photographs taken in the field as inspiration for her brand.

She hand-paints scenes onto canvas, creating a one of a kind, original piece of artwork, which is then used for printing designs onto the shirts.

The farms, the equipment and the people depicted in the designs are real.

“Because our customers work and grow crops in the United States, it is important that we sell them products that are grown and manufactured entirely in the United States,” says Turner.

“Our shirts are made using the world’s finest cotton, 100 percent U.S.-grown Pima cotton. All of the manufacturing that goes into creating our shirts is done in the southeastern U.S., from Georgia to the Carolinas. Printing takes place in Mississippi.
