Comonew's Crop Outlook Shifts With August Estimates
The first 2000 crop yield and production estimates released August 11 place U S production at 19.2 million bales and Texas output near 5.5 million. High Plains foresees 3.47 million bales, but beet armyworm infestations, pest pressure, and dryland drought could lower yields and harvested acres. EPA rejects Pirate for armyworms, prompting growers to shift to Tracer, Lorsban, and Steward while managing costly, multiple treatments. Tours Aug 7–10 linked Washington aides and MidSouth cotton producers with local growers to view farming operations.
