Arrington and Armington warn that shrinking Ogallala water and low rainfall threaten the local economy, noting past crop variability tied to irrigation. They highlight conservation, research, and SPUWCD efforts to measure water levels, promote efficient irrigation, and provide low interest loans to farmers.

Less cotton planted in 1997
The NCC survey projects Upland and ELS cotton plantings at 13.6 million acres for 1997, down 7.1 percent from 1996’s 14.6 million. Economists predict 17.8 million bales from 13.6 million acres, with 660 pounds per acre yield, domestic mills at 11.2 million bales and 6.8 million bales exported, ending stocks near 4 million. World output seen at 87 million, with 38.2 million ending stocks, and a rising stocks-to-use ratio to 44.3 percent. Caution urged as federal deficit-reduction progress may reverse in 1997, threatening support programs through 2002.
