An attorney general opinion states farmers in the proclaimed cotton free zone in South Texas are not eligible for compensation if their cotton is destroyed after violating the proclamation. The ruling clarifies that reimbursement applies only when a farmer planted cotton before the pest control measures began, and violators cannot seek damages. The department urges abandoning cotton cultivation in the area to prevent further losses from the pink bollworm.
