Farmers urged to replant in corn after cold killed cotton
Commissioner of Agriculture T G Hudson said farmers should replant in corn rather than grow a second stand of cotton after the recent cold wave damaged Geecy cotton. He noted cotton rarely thrives where killed by cold, it's late in the season to plant cotton, and while 35 or 10 percent of the crop is ruined, higher corn prices may offset losses. Hudson cites farmers planning to switch to corn on destroyed cotton land.
