In science, Dr. Rush Nutt moved to Mississippi in 1805, as a physician and a pioneer planter. He built his Laurel Hill cotton plantation in 1815, just outside Rodney, and began to make important agricultural contributions to the lower Mississippi Delta. Dr. Nutt developed the Petit Gulf strain of cotton that became widely grown in Mississippi by the 1830’s. This strain of cotton was popular because it was easy to pick, immune to rot, and produced high quality fibers. He popularized contour, or horizontal, plowing to prevent hillside erosion. Dr. Nutt even improved Eli Whitney’s cotton gin by adding flumes for filtering out dirt in the ginning process. Dr. Nutt had a huge influence on early Mississippi agriculture—all from his Laurel Hill Plantation in his hometown of bustling Rodney. By Judd Hambrick June 19, 2010
