In a public hearing Thursday morning a vote of confidence for the Bull Weevil Eradication Program was cast by several farmers. The open hearing on assessments for the Western High Plains zone must precede the December 9 referendum. Six proponents spoke with no dissension, supporting up to 12 per acre for irrigated cotton and 6 per acre for dryland cotton. Don Parrish, regional board representative, noted a steering committee and budget of 92.71 per acre for four years, with state partnership likely to cover remaining costs.
