Bumper Cotton Crop Fails to Find Buyers in Milam County
County Agent Bill McCutchen notes a generally excellent crop but thin demand. Prices range 25 to 27 cents elsewhere, while Milam County buys only high grade cotton at about 22 cents. Some acreage with 30 cent contracts may be honored, and many farmers will use government loan waiting for prices to rise. ASCS manager Douglas Buck lists loan value at 19.55 cents for white middling 1 inch cotton. Local gins now process more cotton than last year with only half the crop harvested.
