Forecast Favors Small Cotton Crop This Year
The Agriculture Department projects 11,306,000 bales of cotton this year, down 5,790,009 from last year and 3,552,000 below the five year average. Weevil damage and reduced fertilizer use depress prospects while plant bloom and potential hot dry spells offer some upside. Farm Board officials expect no change to the stabilization plan despite the drop and note private holdings remain around 10 million bales.
