Cotton crop forecasts and frost threaten top yield
The season brings mixed signals as bolls mature slowly and picking lags behind last year. State reports show 67 percent gathered versus 70 last year and 74 in 1911, with heavy frosts around October 20 likely to curtail top production. Quality fallen due to rains and low temperatures, average staple quality around 76 percent, and preliminary yield estimate at 13.5 million bales. Regions like Georgia and Texas report reduced grades and rotting cotton in bolls, while forecasts predict frost across the belt and continued cautious market sentiment from analysts and bankers.
