Aiken County Cotton Outlook Seems Promising Yet Threatened
The Aiken county cotton crop remains fairly promising though lagging behind last year. Weevils threaten the young crop, requiring careful picking of squares to safeguard it. Lower county areas show better conditions due to more rain, while upper areas need moisture. Corn is spotty across the county and fertilizer shortages hinder growth. County demonstration agent C Lee Gowan notes the crop is in fairly good shape.
