Delayed Cotton Crop May Hit Prices in South
In Atlanta discussions by buyers, manufacturers, and planters note the late cotton crop across the South. Texas leads delays of three weeks to a month, while Georgia varies from one week late in South Georgia to two weeks or more in North Georgia. Weather in July and August, plus boll weevil pressures, will shape eventual yields and prices. Local merchants like C. B. Howard and Nicolson of the Maddux Berber Co. weigh in on how late planting and cool May temperatures may push prices higher or cause further delays.
