Texas Cotton State Support boosts research funding outlook
Texas cotton producers look to a bright future driven by the Texas State Support Program administered via Cotton Incorporated. The program returns 5 percent of promotional dollars from each bale to states by production share, funding 1998 projects on high plains issues such as cold tolerance, stand establishment, weed management, and fiber processing. A boll weevil survey shows $185 million in losses, with 74 percent from the pest, prompting regional calls for zoning and eradication efforts led by Lubbock area producers. A December 16 conference in Lamesa will feature national and state leaders, with corporate reps from Monsanto and John Deere participating.
